This time last year, I started blogging. That’s 12 months of my life straining to plop words into cyber drainage. It’s 365 days of digesting verbal concepts and expelling them into posts.
Twelve months of blogging is a long time. No wonder my pipes are tired!
In that time, Fangirl Sings the Blues has changed focus a little. Initially, I established this place as an adjunct to fictional writing, a forum where I could say things like ‘I have finished another novel! I am rejected! I am drafting and I hate writing.’ Or, ‘buy a book, save a student getting me back as a teacher…’
You know? All those inspirational things one thinks when they are writing! Also, I wanted a spot to chat about music, TV, movies and pop culturish stuff, however I’ve moved off on a tangent and included lots of anecdotes and RL idiocies.
It’s been fun. I don’t know whether it’s helped my actual writing, but it’s been a great way to keep in touch with family and friends I don’t see as often as I like — usually because of their restraining orders against me.
Writing on the net often makes you think you’re talking to yourself, especially if no one comments on your post. I used to care about that a fair bit, now I don’t mind at all. I talk to myself in RL, so why not do it online? It’s the first sign of insanity. Oh? Really? Well, I must’av lost my marbles years ago.
Thanks to friend and family who pop into Fangirl Sings the Blues every now and then. It’s lovely to hear of rellos and mates who read and find something to nod along about, or random people who’ll pipe up in the middle of the doctor’s surgery and say ‘hey, don’t you do a blog?’
No wonder the doctor will prescribe laxatives.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FANGIRL SINGS THE BLUES! Sometimes, only an Abba Megamix will do.

The question is -- did you have marbles to start with??
I've had a little posse of five year olds here today -- fresh from their kinder session and ready to wreak havoc on my home. I wonder how many years it will take to remove the last traces of glitter from the carpet? Note to self -- five year olds have no hesitation in upending an entire tube of glitter and care little about where it ends up. Perhaps I should have waited until older children were home from school and could adequately supervise pre-schoolers because I am obviously incapable.
Oh -- what, you want me to leave a comment about you? Okay -- happy bloggy birthday Fangirl! It's been a pleasure to read, comment, learn. Here's to the next year(s) out there in the ether. *air kisses*
PS Went to Amir's today. All I can say is YUM! Happy voting tomorrow xxx
Maybe you should look under the bed, behind the couch, and under the dryer for those marbles? That's where most things get lost, no? Congratulations to making it to year one! Know that even though I don't comment on everything, I read pretty much each entry, 'kay? Happy writing, Miss!
No marbles here, love, *g* But you've known that for nigh on 20 years, and it's never threatened ya before. Just that I'm smarter than you? No? Oh, I thought I was for a second.
Thanks darl. It's been fun, and here's to more ether and full-body holds.
I hear you regarding kiddo's parties. Hope my fave spag nose had fun. give her a squish from me until I see her to do the same.
Chat soon. Maybe I'll call you from work? *hugs*
Oh, I know!
Thanks hon. I do appreciate the reading, no commenting is fine too, for sure!
TBH, I've looked everywhere for those marbles, but they're not forthcoming. perhaps I never had them in the first place? Happy weekend.
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear FGSTB-ee, happy birthday to-o-o-o you.
Suppose you expect a pressie too, just like the Funkster??? Well Lovey, life's full of little disappointments, so suck it up and just continue your wonderful blogging!!!
Luv your guts (and your marble-less head too!!) xoxoxo
Wishing you a very happy 1th birthday!
It's always nice to come over and see what you're contemplation of the week is, and you always love the chats and are welcoming and fun
Here's to many great more years of singing the blues, but I worry that the elderly ladies in the banner haven't have a sit down or cuppa for a while. Are they are on Mother drinks?
Hello there lady. How's fangs? Saw some of your peeps today, which was lovely. They have something Applish that i want. I've decided I wanna iPad and an iphone 4. Please get me in the Christmas exchange, lol
Thanks for your lovely words. I look forward to my next blog, if only to relieve the strain.
Love you, even if you have all the marbles at your place.
Oh, the ladies wot rocking the banner are high on Mother's drinks, Sez, but also LIFE. They rock the life. they are only as old as the people wot they feel, yanno.
Fangs for the lovely birthday greetings. That year went really fast. Also? Thanks for visiting and chatting sometimes, you are always welcome. AND, like Billy Joel, I love you 'just the way you are'. You 'uptown girl' you.
