I intended to do a flashy fourth anniversary post; I failed my first attempt, had an idea for another one, and then didn’t manage to finish it by the actual anniversary (May 14/15th), which I forgot was approaching until the 19th. But it feels wrong not to mention it at all, so here’s a mind-blowing summary of my thoughts on the site’s fourth birthday:
This August, I turn 20 years old.
This blog is now four years old.
I’ve been running this site for a fifth of my entire life.
[For the record, I can’t remember if this blog was made on the 14th (the day before the first post), or the 15th (the day of the first post), especially because the post was made early in the day. I’d know were it not for the fact that this isn’t the original site and only dates back to last November. Hence, the first image is the 14th and D-Boy’s b-day is the 15th.]
If you keep running this blog until you’re like 70 or so, then you’ll have been aniblogging for 79% of your life. Moral: keep at it and you’ll eventually get to 100%!
oh math
Congrats.
Happy birthday … or creation day … whatever. Anyways, congratulations!
How about that, it’s about a fifth for me too. From this point on, your fraction will always be higher than mine.
Interesting point. But this is my first real site: how long have you been at it with the inclusion of your old site?
Congrats! How does it feel to have been a blogger for a fifth of your life?
Crazy. It puts into perspective how much anime has effected my life. i started this blog soon after getting “back” into anime in 2007, after a couple of years away from the medium, which I’d been into since 2001. I’ve long been excited about my upcoming 10 year anniversary as an anime fan, but it’s only just occurring to me that ten years is *half of my life.*
I dare you to get to 1 half. You’ll have to run it till you’re….ahh fuck it I’m not doing the math.
If I run it till I’m 32, I’ll have run it for 16 years. TBH, I *really* don’t see that happening lol. I don’t consider this site a permanent fixture of my life, especially since I’ve grown more and more distant from it already.
I’ve been running WRL for an 11th of my life…
Why did I say that?
Don’t worry I was already thinking it lolololol
My my, that first post. :) In a way, though, it shows you’ve grown up with the blog, like Chang and Eng.
Congratulations on four years!
Actually, I think that first post is unexpectedly consistent with my style. There are a really small handful of my oldest posts that make me go “wow… that doesn’t suck as much as I expected” and that’s one of them. Of course, that all goes down the drain as soon as post #2 misspells “massugu go!” in the title.
Welcome to the blogger oldfag bandwagon, chap. Have a seat over there.
Grats on the four years.
I’ve blogged for this long just so I could be on that bandwagon lol
Won’t lie, this blog is part of the reason why I started my own! Giving congratulations is the least I can do,
Also, D-BOY!
I knew you’d like that one hehehe
Congrats on the 4-year anniversary! ^_^ My main web site will be turning nine years old in about a month and my blog will be five years old this October. So I’ve had a web site for nine years and I’m 25 years old – so that’s approximately 1/3 of my life =)
Congratulations on the 4 years. That’s an impressive amount of time to have kept doing anything in this day and age. I mean, marriages don’t last that long. Wars don’t last that long.
It’s crazy that me, king of giving up early, has done anything this long. Easily the longest consistent element of my life to date besides anime fandom itself.
ah 4 years. it’s been about 5 since i started “stalking” you XD
congrats and no matter how long you keep this up for i will continue to enjoy reading your stuff ^__^ <3
How is that possible? I had this blog long before I joined anime-planet…
