It's my Blogthday!

Yes, that's right! One year ago today I said to Google, "You know what, Google? Fuck it. Let's give this blogging shit a try, what do you say??" So I picked my favorite expression (at the time; I think we all know that if I started this blog today it would be called "I KNOW, right?") and started this fucker up. My first post was called I don't know what I'm doing. And guess what? One year later and I still don't know!

At first I told two people about it: Hubs and a friend. Then I told my online friends about it. Then I told my Facebook friends about it. And then... I don't know what the hell happened.  365 days and 571 posts later, I've managed to attract almost 400 followers. How? No fucking clue. Seriously. Who are you people?

Since I am a Bookkeeper, and a dork, I can't let this auspicious event go by without using Excel in some way, so here's a chart I made which neatly categorizes my 571 posts into friendly and easy to read graph form.





I thought about perhaps doing a retrospective; a "look back," if you will, at the last year. I could talk about things I've learned, how I've grown as a person; maybe give some advice to newbie bloggers; tell you how I did it and whatnot, but fuck that! Seriously, who gives a shit? Would anybody actually want to read that crap? And, really, if you're taking blogging advice from me I think you're probably cursed or doomed or drunk or something. So, no. Instead I've asked my friend Kendall from This Is Not That Blog (formerly known as the 21st century mrs) to draw me a picture of myself celebrating my one year blogging anniversary, in the way that only she can. YAY!





One thing I will do, though, is list for you 5 of my favorites so we can all have a good laugh. At me.

A whole day to myself, 6/27/10

Artichoke: You're trying too hard, 7/22/10

Laundry: FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!, 8/14/10

Sometimes you just have to admit defeat, 2/3/11

HOLD ON FOR 1 MORE DAY - DON'TCHA KNOW?! Oh, I'm singing with ya.

I'm impressed with your Complete Crap ratio - I think my piece of that pie chart would easily throw down the 50% threshold.

My recent post Its not very nice to dance inside Mamas Tummy!
I will tell you the same thing I tell myself every year on my birthday. Don't look at it as being another year older. Look at it as being THAT much closer to menopause. Although if your blog is only one, it's got a looooong way to go.

Congratulations on 49% Complete Crap!

first time visitor here. i like the use of a pie chart, but only if it's accurate. i don't like satire.

I need to know how you got almost 400 followers, I am sad and pathetic. I'm going off to have a good cry.

Here's to the next 365... days (I don't want to get ahead of myself here and wish you 20 more years, I mean, a LOT can happen in one year).
Any pie charts regarding how you came up with your five favorites?

Happy happy happy! :)
400 followers in a year? That's impressive! I'm just hoping for 100 some day. Then again, 571 posts in a year is way more than I'll ever post. I've yet to crack 200 in 10 months. I'm glad that I started following you. Your posts are very entertaining, although not quite as funny as your tweets. :) How in the world can someone be so funny in less than 140 characters? Congrats!
