Two Years of Blogging

 

Hello everyone!  Today I have some very important news to share with you.  In fact, you've probably already guessed from the title what that news is.

Uh, yeah.  Because that was like so obvious, my dear.

(Oh no.  Not him again.  Did Mr. Smart Aleck have to show up today of all days?)

('Hem.  I heard that.)  And yes, of course I had to show up!  You wouldn't expect me to miss out on something so unutterably dull as this, would you?

Dull?  DULL?  Did you just say the two-year anniversary of Sunshiny Corner was dull?

Well, isn't it?  I mean you don't even know what to say about it.

That's beside the point.

Ha.  And that was a most pathetic dodge.

I do know what to say about it.  I'm going to talk about what a good year it's been.  How many new friends I've made.  How thankful I am for all my old friends.  How much more at ease I am with blogging.  And how I never worry about my posts being bad like I used to.

Fib number one! Fib number one!! Caught you red-handed!  You most certainly do still worry about your posts being bad.

Okay, fine.  But not so much as I used to.

That I'll grant you.  You definitely are getting better at that.  Very nice.  *pats Miss March on the head*

Well, you needn't be so condescending.

Condescending?  ME?  My dear little chap, I would never dream of being condescending to you.  What an idea!

Forget I mentioned it.

Good as done.

Well!  You certainly are obliging today.  (Surprising, but not unappreciated.)

And you, have nothing to say.  That's clear enough.  Do you know what a point is?

Of course I do. 

Well, why don't you get to it then?

Wow.  Even though that was intended as an insult, I have to hand it to you, you're making a lot of sense today.  I really should get to the point, shouldn't I?

That's what I just said.

Right.  (But what's the point?  I mean, what should I say?)

You really are a mess today, aren't you?  Here.  I'm officially taking over this post.

You can't do that!

Watch me.

Hello there!  To all you poor abused people who have somehow gotten sucked into reading the writings of our sadly deranged authoress, greetings.  To those of you who have stuck with her from the beginning I have only one thing to say,

"ARE YOU NUTS?" 

To those of you who are new, and perhaps yet unaware of what you've gotten yourself into, I have a more profound word...

"RUUUUUN!! 

Now.  Quick.  Before it's too late!!"

Hey! Wait a second!  You can't say that to my readers!  YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!

It was a joke, Siegfried, a JOKE. 

Not a very good one.  (Humph.  Some joke.)

Well let's start again then, shall we?  How's this?

Dear readers, what Miss March would really like me to say is THANK YOU!  Thank you to all of you for reading these insignificant little ramblings, and for being such all around great friends!!  It's the friendships that make blogging really worthwhile.  And she wants you all to know that she's really, really grateful for all the kindness and encouragement you've shown to her over the past couple of years.  She has friends now, which she couldn't claim to have had before, and you're those friends!  So thank you all so much!  *lots of hugs*

(Alright.  That wasn't too bad.)

(Thank you.  *bows*)  And now comes the second part.  The part where Miss March gives us an illustration of the ups and downs of her blogging career.  Basically a behind the scenes look at what too often happens when she publishes a new post.

What?  I'm going to do that?  Now?

Yes.  Roll 'em.

*deep breath*   Okay...

 

Working feverishly to finish a post before dawn. (Slight exaggeration.)

 

 

Finally done.  Whew.  That's a load off my mind.

 

 

I do hope I didn't say anything too awfully ridiculous, though.

 

 

That's not likely, is it?

 

 

Unfortunately, no.  Ooooh!  What am I trying to do, embarrass myself for life?  I'm sure that post was horrible.

 

 

My readers are probably all giving me this expression right now...and why shouldn't they?

 

 

That was a confusing, embarrassing post.  I know it was.

 

I wrote that?  What was I thinking??

 

 

I haven't had any comments for days.  It's official.  Nobody liked my post.  I've failed.

 

 

I'm so disgusted with myself right now.

 

 

I think it's about time I gave myself a talking to...

 

 

From now on, I shall be sensible.

 

 

I JUST GOT SOME COMMENTS!  Eeee!  All's right with the world...

 

 

Perhaps, after all, the next post may be allowed a little bit of silliness...just a little.

 

 

When will she learn?  Oh, when will she learn?

 

 

I realize that was like, totally random.    But I had some good pictures and I wanted to use them.  And I had a sudden burst of inspiration so...there you have it.   That's that. 

 

And now let's move on.  Because we still have one more thing to talk about.

 

Blogging stats.  

 

I don't think your readers care to hear about that.

 

Well, maybe not, but I would like to include them for my own sake then.  Because it's fun to look back on them later. 

 

True enough.  Proceed.

 

Wow.  I'm a little worried.  Where are all your insults today?

 

I have a cough.

 

Oh.  And that makes a difference?

 

No, but I thought I'd mention it. 

 

O-kaaay.  I'm confused.

 

I don't mind.  You can be confused if you want to.

 

Right.  *shakes head to clear brain*  What was I talking about?  Oh, yes!  The stats.  Well, here they are...

This post feels rather scattered and not so polished as it ought to be, but I find I'm pressed for time so...this is it. 

 

This is the end.

 

"The end."  Ah!  The sweetest words I ever heard. 

 

(Humph.  Good-BYE!)

 

And "good-bye" is even better.  You're making me so happy right now.
