So my birthday and my blogiversery falls on the same day! Happy birthday to both of us!
I'm 19, and my blog is officially one year old! This past year has definitely been the best of my life, backed by friends, family, and those who love me. It's been a year of constant change, but one that's been a growing experience. I'm so incredibly thankful for all of the new friends that I have, and I'm definitely looking forward to the next year. What can I say? It's a free 365-day trip around the Sun! Now, if it were all-expenses paid. . . . . . .*sly grin*
As far as my blog goes, I love it. I love sharing ideas, concepts, and experiences, and I love hearing from you guys. I love staying in contact with old friends (both RL and OL), and having the opportunity to make new ones. I love looking back and seeing how things have changed, and how some things have stayed the same. That's the funny thing about change. . . . . . . . day to day, absolutely nothing changes, but when you look back on it, it's all different.
As part of an overhaul, I'm going through and tagging everything. I didn't start tagging things consistently until December 2009, and I'm the kind of *cough cough* OCD *cough* type person who needs things to all line up. Plus, I like things to be categorized. Expect that my "tag cloud" located near the bottom of any page on my blog will be growing, morphing, and changing shape. This process has already started, and I suspect it will take awhile.
Out of the past 365 days, I have, at this blog, made 351 posts. Out of the past 365 days, I have talked to KYOTKGUY 283 of them. (Every single day since the day we first talked, minus one, and that one was TOTALLY my stupidity. . . . . . although I did have a little help. *cuts eyes towards Ella*) Out of the past 365 days, I have spent 215 days in Kentucky, 79 days in Colorado, 42 days in Alabama, 9 days in Indiana, 6 days in Tennessee, 4 days in Florida, 3 days in Illinois, 3 days in Panama, 2 days in Virginia, 1 day in North Carolina, and 1 day in California. There is absolutely no telling how much of that time I spent on the road, although I could puzzle it out if I sat down long enough with my journal. Out of the past 365 days, I've been spanked on way too many of them. Out of the past 365 days. . . . . . . 365 have been memorable in varying forms and fashions.
Keagen,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing year you've had! Happy birthday and congratulations. Your blog has become one of the signature destinations in our community.
I look forward to reading the next chapter of your story.
Hugs,
Bonnie
It's been a wonderful year, and I've loved walking it with my new friends, family, and fellow bloggers.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the Birthday and Blogiversary wishes.
I look forward to not only writing it, but living and walking it. *hugs*
*grins* You ol' hijacker, you. Thank you so much for my birthday wishes. I love you whole bunches and bunches, and am so looking forward to the next year.
ReplyDeleteKeagen, congratulations on your nineteenth and your blogs first birthday.

Your blog is so attractive because you write with both honesty and eloquence, while you continue to write like this, I will continue to support you.
Warm hugs,

Thank you very much for the Birthday and Blogiversary wishes, and thank you for your continued support. I hope my writing style doesn't change. If it does, I hope it takes me with it! *grins*
ReplyDelete*warm hugs*
Congratulations, happy birthday, and whatever else I missed, hehehe...I'm very happy that I can count myself amongst your friends. Although I'm wondering...am I a new old friend, or an old new friend? :-P
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and Happy Blogiversary! Very cool that you were able to track your year like you did... and it certainly was a busy one. Hope the coming year is filled with lots of happiness and good news.

Thank you, Andy, for the well wishes, but I regret to inform you that I don't understand your question. :-P
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Todd and Suzy! I journal like CRAZY, so it wasn't as hard as you might think. :-) This next year promises to be a good one.
*huge hugs*
Keagen
Happy Blogiversary to you and your blog, Keagan.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to many more thoughtful posts in the years to come.
Thank you very much for the well wishes, sir.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to it myself!
Happy Birthday and blogiversary, Keagen! You certainly had a wonderful year. i find it amazing that you can recount it in such detail... very cool. *raises glass* here's to a wonderful new year!!! I can't wait to read about it, lol!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful birthday and looking forward to many more anniversaries for the blog. Do you take the birthday spanking for the blog as well? :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the well wishes, Cowgirl. See, that's the perks of journaling. You can recount anything you want to, down to what you ate, if you care. :-D I can't wait to live it, love it, and share it!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's around for many years to come, as well, Daniel. LOL It's only one. . . . I don't care. :-D
und nun direkt aus Deutschland:

bleib fröhlich und gesund im neuen Lebensjahr und lass dir möglichst viele Wünsche erfüllen!
Liebe Grüße sendet dir
Rainer
Vielen, vielen Dank, Rainer!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely keep my joy, Rainer, and my wishes have come true. :-)
Thank you so much, again, and huge hugs,
Kea
Hehehe....when I hear the term 'old friend' I never know if they are referring to the length of time they've known me, or the fact that I'm of a somewhat advanced age... :-) So am I a new friend that happens to be old, or a...well, ok, the second part makes no sense...
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday and Happy Blogiversary. Sounds like today(according to above post) was really special!! Neat how you tracked your year. I'm sure this year is filled with even better things to come.
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome, Jean. Thank you so much for the well wishes. . . . . . and I'm sure it will, too. *hugest hug*
ReplyDeleteMy Dearest Kea,
ReplyDeleteI would like to interject. Perhaps I DID get a little carried away and made us super late on that last night when I disappeared, however, on the note of not contacting KY, *cough cough,* is there something we might be leaving out? ;)
I'll give you a hint: There were four of them :)
Oh, hush, Ella. You didn't think about them either. As a matter of fact, the thought never OCCURRED to you until we were in Georgia.
ReplyDeleteI still blame you. :-D *huge grin* After all, that's what really good friends do.
:) hey, now! I was using them!!! (the bell boy was actually looking me funny because I refused to sit down on the wooden chair! Instead I decided to squat:). But after Gary and Marc got a hold of me, who can really blame me, eh?) :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, but yes... a certain.... friend... of ours w/ his "annoying" toppish mind wasn't going to let us get away w/ it, huh! *shakes head* I don't see myself getting away with too much in my future :)
LOL. . . . . YOU were using them, and didn't find fit to tell me. . . . . or to leave me a roomkey so I could use my, you know, laptop, or, you know, plug in my phone. :-D
ReplyDeleteHeh. . . . . no. . . . . I don't think either of us have gotten away with much of anything since. *huge grin* Maybe some War Eagle jokes, no?
