Happy Birthday Dear Whateverrrrrrrr,
Married To The Sea





Guess what? It's my blog's birthday! Well, it was on June 4. I missed it because I'm a negligent parent. This is probably foreshadowing for when I'm a mommy and I only sporadically celebrate my own child's birth so when he/she grows up, he/she has no idea how old he/she really is. So when people are all "Rhinestone, how old are you," he/she'll be all "20 or something!"

But that's a story for another post!

It's funny to me that I've been doing this for just a year and yet I see it as such a big deal. Other writers have been doing this waaaaay longer and waaaay better. Maybe it matters so much to me because I'm a commitment-phobe so this is a novelty. Then again, what am I committing to here besides myself? Not a ton. So, not so impressive.

This has been a good year, though. I've made friends through this little blog, and I've been lucky enough to find better, funnier blogs that give me insane internet crushes on women and men alike.

The caliber of people to whom I've been introduced through this little vehicle just boggles my mind and takes my breath away. Remember when you guys helped me raise over 2,000 dollars for the cause that is dearest to my heart? I can't even think about that without experiencing a heart-crushing bit of joy. I will never know how I got so lucky.

Does anyone know the ratio of blog years to people years? I can't tell if my blog is ready for her first cigarette yet.

Apparently, these are some of the posts that you guys read more frequently over the past year, so I thought I'd line them all up, both for your convenience and so that I won't have to write anything else right now.

I wish I could give my blog a cake, but instead I will offer this picture of me CUTTING a cake. It's at a Halloween party, so you can see my costume- I went as Lady Hulk. Obviously. The brown on my nose is from earlier in the evening when I had been a Chipette- I guess I lost interest in that? Not sure. Next to me is the Shmifter and her rack. Almost competes with my Hulk Pecs. Behind me is a kid named Tim. He's a douche.


It's carrot cake, blog! Your favorite! I love you!

    Happy belated birthday, Hobocamp! If you want, I can sneak you out to a strip club for drinks later.

    Which I guess is highly inappropriate, considering your age. But highly inappropriate? That's how I roll.
