User blog:JustLittleOlMe/I've Just Had My First Wiki Birthday!!

A few folks have congratulated me on becoming 1 wiki-year old this month. (August) And Gid even asked me if I was going to write a blog for it. Well, since no one really ever looks at the dates we arrived here, I guess I’ll announce my first Wiki-Birthday! :D

A lot has happened since I’ve arrived here, and I’ve grown a lot, computer-wise! You’ve all become my wiki family, and I don’t want to be without you. Since we lost a lot of oldtimers very recently, I got a bit depressed, but then I figure we lose a lot of folks to college every fall.

On that note, that massive exodus left room for another bureaucrat and two more admins. Drumroll, please. :D As you probably already know, I’ve been promoted to Admin!!! One of my many goals on this wiki! :) Hooray!!

I have met several of my goals, but I still want to learn to draw here. I’ve gotten several links from several of you, but I haven’t bothered trying yet. If any of you have favorite drawing programs here, maybe you could link me? I definitely want to start learning. I might even create pictures from some of my stories! xDD ;)  I’ll probably try Zac’s blog Paint(?) site, too, but I want to start simple.

Again, I’m really glad to be here and be friends with everyone on this wiki! Thank you all for being you! ;) I also hope to be here for a long time to come! :)
