Happy (some) LJ anniversary to me!

[thistlechaser]

Just a few days late! I made my LJ on August 15, 2002. I've written 4,280 posts, 33,633 comments received, 33,556 comments left by me. Look how close those two numbers are!

(Some) years... I had just moved to California, I was obsessed with FFX (not FFXI yet!), and I had still been MUSHing. My first comment (and the code for my LJ -- you needed a code to make a new LJ way back when) came from mallen, who I'm no longer in contact people (but he was Rory, PokeMUSH folks! He owned byte-me!). The second comment I ever got came from tersa. :D

(Edit: Math fail or year fail? I have no idea! But eight years makes more sense, fits better with how long I've been in CA. Happy some anniversary to me!)

For people with no interest in these facts, have a cute picture instead!

Ten years...

Wait a minute...

What are we waiting for!

If it was 2002 that the LJ started, and this is the 10th anniversary and it's only 2010, either I sucks at math or I missed something that makes it 10 years.

It's early! Cause the world is supposed to explode or something in 2012!

It makes sense that your received and left comments are so close, since you response so reliably (unlike me)... but man, off by less than a hundred out of over thirty three thousand? That's impressive!

Ya but the Mayans wanted Thistle to hit 10 years on LJ so they decided to hold off the end of the world until December 21st 2012, we'll still make it!

mallen has a wife and son now! And works for the corporate headquarters of Target, last I heard.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oh well hell! How embarrassing!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I heard he was married! How cool!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I was surprised! Now if only I had been closer on the year! :P

Math is your friend thistle!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Clearly no it's not!

Well at least the baby otters(?) are cute!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I think otters, yeah. And they are! :D

[dementordelta.livejournal.com]

\o/ Go you! Congrats!

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yay, thanks! :D

A friend of mine just described otters as what you would get if a puppy and a kitten had a baby.

Ha! That sounds about right!
