Second Blogiversary!

Today marks my blog's second anniversary! It also marks the release of the first episode of The Guild Season 4 (yay!), so make sure you go check that out...after you finish reading my blog post, of course.

Last year, for my first blogiversary, I listed ten facts about me that hadn't come up before on my blog. I am not very well planned out this year, since my parents are in town visiting right now. Still, I managed to put a little something together. I figured I'd give visual (and audio) proof of some of the things I mentioned in last year's blogiversary post.

There are two pieces of jewelry I always wear. A silver ring and a gold necklace (no, silver + gold don't match, but I like them both!). Here they are.

That gold ball is actually the moon. Look up James Thurber's children's book Many Moons, and you'll understand.


Kind of abstract-viney. By Harriet Forman Barrett.

I had really long hair from 7th grade to halfway through my sophomore year in college. About hip length, but never long enough that I'd sit on it when I sat down (though I could sit on it if I tipped my head back a bit). Here's a picture (not perfect because you still can't see the bottom of it).


OK, this didn't come up in last year's post, but it was mentioned in a recent post, so I thought I'd demonstrate how I move my baby toe onto the toe next to it (you can also see in the video that I can move it underneath the other toe, but I think that may be a little more common):


And, at long last, I demonstrate my infamous "ear snap":



I can't believe I've been doing this for two years now. I love the friends I've made blogging, and the conversations we have online. I like how I can share some things with you, under the veil of relative anonymity, that I can't share with most other people I know in real life. Thanks to everyone for reading my blog. You still always make my day.

I love your moon! I adore that book and used to read it to my Girl Scouts as a camp counselor all the time, I've practically got it memorized. So wonderful.

Happy Blogiversary! Oh my goodness, what great control of your pinky toe you have! hahaha, I tried multiple times after watching the video and I fail!

Cassey - Thanks!

Rosalind - Isn't it delightful? I was in a star/moon/night sky-themed revue my senior year in high school, and I turned the book into a ~10 minute skit. I played the Princess Lenore and got to cast the other actors. I've never been a good actress myself, but the other actors were really good, and I have very fond memories of that show. A friend gave the necklace to me when I graduated. Perfect.

Soph - Thanks. I've seen a couple other people who can do the pinky toe thing. One is my mom, so maybe it's genetic. Truth be told, I can only do it with my right foot. I can't figure out why.

Total bonus points for clipping a spectacle-shaped segment from your face. I would've just done a big, black box...

I have duly commented on YouTube re: your freaky anatomy.

Eleni said...

Haha, you liked that, didn't you? Hmm, I could have done like a Geordi La Forge visor or something. That would have been cool.

My freaky anatomy? OK, maybe that's fair.
