HOLY CRAP, IT'S A BLOGIVERSARY!!

I can't believe it, it's been a year since the birth of Laugh It Up, Fuzzball!!! My day has been so awful that I completely forgot about my blogiversary. Wow.

So...it's been a year. I hope to hell that I've improved since my first crappy posts. As of this morning my blog stats show 397 posts, 627 comments, and 17,122 hits. I know, there are a lot of blogs that get 20,000 hits a day, but I'm happy with what I've got. I have received an enormous amount of support and encouragement from some very cool people. (I've also...uh...borrowed a lot of great ideas from you guys.) So thanks to the people who, like it or not, gave and (for some) continue to give me my daily inspirations for LIUF. Here are the names and/or addresses of some of the guilty parties. Shame on you for indulging me in my blogginess:

• A Perfectly Cromlulent Blog  -- Pete, you know you're my e-crush 4EVAH baby!
• Bombadil's -- Bombadil, you've been with me since the beginning. Is this like some sort of endurance test for you? Or could it be that...you like me, you really like me! (tee hee)
• Dooce -- As I have said many times before, Heather Armstrong is one of the funniest people alive. I only wish I could be half as witty...
• Apropos of Something -- Jess, you too have the honor of being a Fuzzball e-crush. Yes, I said honor, dammit. Why are you running away? WAIT!
• Erin Abbott -- Another incredibly supportive blogger. You rock, chica. :)
• Tequila Mockingbird -- Julia's blog makes me tear at my hair and gnash my teeth in sheer jealousy. Brilliant.
• Arcane Gazebo -- Whether you like it or not, yours is the first blog I ever read, and I thought now that's for me...and Laugh It Up was born!
• The Best Friend You All Wish You Had -- Thank you, Cealie Lee, for always loving everything I write, even when it's crap. Thank you also for the irate phone calls and emails demanding blog updates. I promise that you can guest blog WHENEVER YOU WANT.
• Sister of Fuzzball -- Thank you also to Lindsay (aka Mailbox) for her spontaneous comments and occasional guest posts. She is truly THE funniest person I know, (sorry Heather).
• And a final thank you to all of my readers who don't comment or who I might have forgotten because I suck. I love you ALL, I promise.

I realize I'm going on and on like I've just won an Oscar, so I'll shut up now. I'm off to find someone to sing Happy Blogiversary to me. You don't think that's weird, do you? Well, DO YOU? >:|

congratulations, mailbox--it's no wonder you get any work done.
now, i'd like to thank the academy for this award, even though i know no one is listening, and everyone is just waiting for the orchestra to interrupt me, and while half of you are dissecting my outfit, the other half are yelling about how awkward the lady is who stands behind and leads the winners offstage, cause it never fails, they ALWAYS start walking off the wrong way, thus ensuing the "whoaaaa whoops there almost exited stage left instead of stage right i am such a goofball!" situation, which usually ends in the actor/actress/sound editing nerd/peter jackson's facial hair waving their awards in a seemingly gracious manner like "thanks...again!" but inside they're really waving it like "eat shit fools it wouldn't make a difference if i left the stage on the back of a 3rd grader's banana seat 5 speed i've got a damn oscar and you ain't got JACK see you at the post show suckaaaaaas"

congratulations, mailbox--it's no wonder you get any work done.

I believe you mean "it IS a wonder that I get any work done." And I don't. So there. Thhhhpppbbbbbbtttt

[sister]

perhaps i WAS saying it is no wonder you get any work done, because i believe you are SO organized, you have time to keep your blog updated AND pull a daily erin brockovich on your workplace. perhaps THAT IS WHAT I WAS SAYING AND YOU WERE JUST ASSUMING I WAS BEING SARCASTIC AND NOW DON'T YOU FEEL BAD ABOUT THAT?

sincerely,
a horrified sister

Dude, it's impossible for me to pull an Erin Brockovich, since she was working against The Man, and I am working for The Man, (very successfully, I might add). *knock wood*

Happy BLOGIVERSARY to you!
Happy BLOGIVERSARY to you!
HAPPY BLOGIVERSARY DARLING FUZZBALL!
Happy BLOGIVERSARY TOOOO-oooooo YOOOOOO-ooooooUUUUUU!

I typed BLOGIVERSARY four times (actually five) without error--pretty impressive huh? It's been a great first year--here's to many more. love you more.

[Tracy]

I AM impressed, especially considering it is a COMPLETELY made-up word! You are the bestest friend ever, you Sea Mammy, you. :)

[Bombadil]

Ah Shux! I guess somebody has to put up with you.

I guess I am just like a kamikaze. Take a few shots of sake and just head in head first.

Brockovich? You mean you walk around the office with way to much cleavage? If so, then I guess I do really, really like you.

[Jess]

Happy blogiversary! I think this officially marks the first time I've been the object of anyone's e-crush. ;)

[Pete]

I think this officially marks the first time I've been the object of anyone's e-crush.

You and me both. Obviously she hasn't seen my club foot. Or lazy eye. Or rap sheet.

Congrats, nice lady. Here's to many blogiversaries to come.

[Not Casey]

Wow. A year already. Man. Just, seriously. Just man, man.

Man.

Oh man.

p.s.
Who are you again?

[Tracy]

You mean you walk around the office with way to much cleavage?

Cecile, don't say a word...NOT A WORD. >:D

I think this officially marks the first time I've been the object of anyone's e-crush.

You guys are too modest.

Man oh man oh man. Man.

[Tig]

Hmmm, and I somehow would have thought Clive's old lady would easily outpace my visitation rate. Wil Wheaton trashes my paltry 300-400 a day.

BTW, I added you to my ever-expanding roll of Texas Blogs.
