Intelligence of blog entries
At the beginning: They must be perfect little essays.
These days: It’s okay to do a rambling and marginally understandable post on my confusion over the word NEXT.
Attitude of husband on my blogging:At the beginning: You started a blog. Cool!
These days: You were blogging all that time?
Time wasterliness:
At the beginning: Must get to work!
These days: Must see what my buddies are up to!
Smuttiness of books I read:
At the beginning: Breathless and red faced at first Anita/ Jean Claude sex sceneThese days: “funniest, dirtiest gay porn book ever” constitutes an excellent recommendation.
True Blood and Sookie hits:
At the beginning: What’s that?
These days: Constantly think my blog has become really popular, only to realize every Tuesday that everybody on the planet is Googling off that stupid show!
Time spent analyzing book covers featuring half naked men:
At the beginning: I'm not really that kind of person.
These days: Ooooh! An email from Katiebabs!
Attitude about meeting people in person that I only ever met online:
At the beginning: That is a thing pedophiles do.
These days: Distraught that I couldn’t go to San Fran! But I met Lisabea and Shannon in Chicago.
Knowledge of Richard Armitage:
At the beginning: Who’s that?
These days: Gasp! He touched her hand!
Opinions on guys who have sex with trees and aliens with multiple sex organs:
At the beginning: WTF?
These days: Hello, that plot device again?
Concern that new potential advertising clients will Google me and find my blog and not hire me because I seem [insert unsavory adjective here]:
At the beginning: Totally freaked about it. Keep entries tame just in case.
These days: You can now Google my real name and this blog comes up on the first page. Sort of don’t care. Entries not tame. In denial.
Blogging epiphanies:
At the beginning:
1. Blogger works better in Firefox
2. Shit! I have to think of something new to say a few times a week!
3. Wow, blogging takes a lot of time.
4. People out there do some really scary Google searches.
5. It is scary that I know that.
These days:
I'm in contact with a lot of smart interesting people, and I have made some really great new friends.
Congrats on your blogiversary! It is fun to see how a blog can change...its almost like a living breathing animal....or something.

Holly: LOL. When I grow up I want to be like you!
ReplyDeleteRenee: Okay, THANKS for that, and hold on, why do I not even know that SHOW? I'm totally investigating this - it looks fantastic.
Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeleteDirty gay porn is the new 'paranormal' soon we will be flooded with many, many James Lear clones! Gasp! I can't freaking wait!
And just to keep the blog at the high smut level a blogiversary present in the shape of a cautionary tale. Black mesh briefs....not a good look!
Sayuri: OMG, so funny. Also, I noticed that was an ebay image? WTF were they selling there?????
ReplyDeleteI know! And the best was that came up after doing a google search for 'sexy men'. LOLOL
ReplyDeleteEverybody will not think I spend my days email hot men covers to everyone!
ReplyDeleteLOL
Congrats!
Still looking for the hot menz....not sure this is working!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blogiversary! It's been a year for me too. Boy, how time fly's and perceptions change.
ReplyDeleteUh, KB..you do! Stop living in denial.
ReplyDeleteKB: nobody thinks that at all!
ReplyDeleteSayuri: Okay, that came up on Sexy men?
Brie: Thanks!!
Holly: SNORT. Yeah.
No that last picture came up when I searched 'Richard Armitage Spooks'! I shit you not!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, i finally found a little tottie you may enjoy!
Happy Blogivesary
*salutes*
ReplyDelete'Tis an excellent blog, to be sure.
Happy Blogiversary, darling CJ! You're one of my favoritest people in the blogiverse and I'm so glad we're friends.
ReplyDeleteCome to DC this summer...all the cool kids are!
Sayuri: Wow! Thanks. I wonder if that photographer has airbrushing software?
ReplyDeleteT: Hey you! Thanks
Kati: Well that's good as YOU are one my MY favoritist peeps. Yeah, I'm totally looking at DC!!
*rubs eyes to get rid of black mesh briefs image*
ReplyDeleteIf there was ever an argument for why boxer briefs are sexy (and male "lingerie" is not), that pic was it! ;-)
Spooks is the British spy series that is known in the US as MI-5. It's been broadcast in the US over the last couple of years on A & E and BBCAmerica. RA is the 3rd male lead they've had. The first 2 were Mathew MacFayden (Pride and Prejudice) and Rupert Penry-Jones (Persuasion), so he's following in some pretty cool footsteps.
It's really dark and has some great writing. Even my husband was excited to see "Guy" would be part of a new season. I can't wait!
Congratulations CJ!
ReplyDeleteand the whole post is a riot! This:
"Constantly think my blog has become really popular, only to realize every Tuesday that everybody on the planet is Googling off that stupid show" OMG so true! hahahahhahaha
Love your blog, kiddo.
Happy Blog-Is-Old day! And to think, it took me almost a year to jump on your bandwagon (I mean that in the dirtiest way possible).
ReplyDeleteRenee: Can we start Spooks in the Richard season?
ReplyDeleteAna:Thanks buddy!!
Raych: LOL, welcome to my bandwagon! I'm glad to be getting to know you and your blog too.
Bon bloggiversaire, cherie! (I'm almost certain this means "happy blogiversary" in French.)
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy your funny, clever, warm voice--even though I don't know any of these books, except for the Nancies, of course.
While things get pretty convoluted on MI-5/Spooks, there's usually a large story arc that ends at the end of the season (as there was with Rupert P-J in the last season aired here in the US). There's a little carry over thru out the entire series, but you should be fine to pick it up with RA.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the lonely bird????
ReplyDeleteHappy B-Birthday CeeJay. And let me just say, the m-agnum d-ouble h-ung never looked so good.
See how I did that so no one would know?
Happy Blogiversary! I am so glad I met you because of blogger. I've made so many wonderful friends on here too.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, CJ. Your post totally cracked me up. So very true. :D
ReplyDeleteEllen: Thanks! I'm so glad you visit, even though you don't know the books.
ReplyDeleteRenee: Okay!!
LB: the bird is below!
Rach: I thought of you on this post, when you sent me that book when my cat died.
Bridget: LOL. Yup, sad but true.
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteWhat a hysterical post, and a terrific blog!
Hilarious post! Congrats on a year in the blogosphere.
ReplyDeleteWell happy blogiversary Carolyn Jean. And I'm happy for any small part I may have played in you 'getting to know' Richard Armitage - and by the way - holy hannah to Renee for the link. Damn but I wish we got that show here! I was in the movie store the other day and saw some Spooks DVD's and just about got them - -but then thought 'Wait, RA probably isn't in them yet'
ReplyDeleteCongrats! ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy blogiversary to you!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd ahhh... yeah, so dirtiest gay porn book ever title please????

Kwana: Hey, thanks and thanks for stopping by!
Congrats on the blogiversary!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you started it because I would have never met you...uh, online. Yes, I'm a CJ stalker! lol
“dirtiest gay porn book ever” constitutes an excellent recommendation.
LOL and this is why I love your blog - ok, among other reasons! :)
Happy Blogiversary, CJ!
ReplyDeleteI think I've pretty much established by now how much I love you and your blog, but I'll say it again: I'm educated and or entertained every visit. You are one of the most intelligent, articulate, witty and creative bloggers I know.
Your blog was one of the first ever reader blogs that I would visit before I started my own. It's true. I've been your fan since the days you only had one to five hits per day! ^_^
Cheers!
xoxo
Lmao. Happy Blogiversary!
ReplyDeletewoot! I laughed at your list because it mirrors my own internal monologue very closely.
ReplyDeletehot gay pron rulz!

ReplyDeleteWhee!!! I'm so happy to have met you online and cannot wait until the day we all hang out and giggle over hot chocolate, brownies, and half nekked menz with piles upon piles of TBR books around.
Teehee.

Happy First Blogiversary, CJ!!!
ReplyDelete(I'm such a dork I missed mine last February)
LMAO at the changes you went through. Kinda scary to think about what you might be up to this time next year.
Probably singing the praises of that were-sheep porn book I keep hearing about.
Yep, I'm betting farm animal nookie by next year at this time.
;-p
Happy anniversary! Isn't this blogging thing great? It was fabulous getting to meet and drink yummy sangria with you. I hope we can all do it again some day.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm so late on the blogiversary but HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY! Great post.
