eight is (hopefully not) enough

Delicious Juice Dot Com is 8 years old today. Hooray!

Each year we hit this milestone I am amazed anew – I never knew I had so much to say, or that people would still be reading me after all this time.  I know it’s just a dumb little website, but I’m very fond of it and a little proud, too. I’ve thought a couple times about ending it, but the notion usually lasts for about 3 seconds before I realize that I don’t *want* to stop writing and I *like* having a blog and even when I am not dazzlingly entertaining, someone will be out there reading what I had to say. That is a very comforting thought, not in the least because if I slipped in the shower and broke my neck, eventually someone would wonder why I haven’t been posting and maybe try to find me before the cats could eat my face.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask for a present, because it is my e-birthday: please deleurk and say hello. There’s been a lot of traffic ’round these parts but very little activity in the comments, so please take the time to say hi. If you’re new here, introduce yourself! If you’re old here, tell me what your favourite Delicious Juice post is! Stroke my ego – it’s my birthday, and I’ll be a diva if I want to.

Okay, it’s not MY birthday, but you get the idea.

Hooray for 8 years of Delicious Juice Dot Com! Here’s hoping I never run out of things to say!

  1. happy… huh. i guess blogs don’t have belly buttons, which is what i usually say. hm. i guess a good ol’ Hippo Birdie Two Ewe will have to suffice.

    go-go-gadget blog!

  2. Happy Happy Birthday!

    Been reading since Josh introduced me a zillion years ago.

    A particular post doesn’t stick out to me, but I’ve always enjoyed reading your amusing take on day-to-day things, how in any situation you can seem to Find Down, and learning what life is really like at a space station.

  3. Happy Blogday, Kimli. How can I possibly pick a favourite? But since I go back to the old, orange-in-a-box layout, I remember liking your “about me” stuff with your tattoo pix and your corsetry pix. (*Insert standard disclaimer about not being creepy or a stalker, blah blah blah.*) And I thought your “Hex Angels” bike gang idea was sheer genius.

  4. Happy Birthday Dear Blog…..Happy Birthday to you. I must tell you my day just doesn’t start until I read Delicious Juice. Thanks for all the awesome posts Kimli.

  5. Happy Blog-be-borned Day!

    WOW, dude; like eight years?! That’s some majorly impressive achievement! AND what’s more, you pretty much always have something interesting to read (that’s not a slag to you, but just thinking of other blogs I’ve read… or possibly written myself. Ahem).

    May you enjoy another 8 years or until we all start having things firewired to our brains or something. :)

  6. Happy Birthday from Minnesota!! Been reading for years. I can’t remember who introduced me to your blog, but I think it might have been on someone’s blogroll. You make even the most mundane things entertaining!

  7. Happy bday, DJDC.

    I can’t pick pick a favorite post. It’s not fair to the other posts. I love them all equally.

    I hope you produce many, many, many more.

  8. delurking to wish you a festive birthday! your writing style has kept me entertained regardless of where in the world i’ve read you from. keep smiling and writing :)

  9. Yay for 8! I first started reading (via 3WA) many years ago. Didn’t you have a layout even before the juicebox one? I can’t remember how many years! Anyway, I have recently been returning to read the past few months and have thoroughly enjoyed the posts. Especially scooter posts. I live vicariously. The opera ones were cool too.

    Happy Birthday Delicious Juice!

  10. I missed the blog-day celebrations! Darn it all! I’ve been reading DJ for many years, I also found you on 3WA. I think my favorite post was when you gave me a random shout out for a Secret Pal month. It made me feel all famous and stuff.
    Keep writing, I like having proof that there is at least one woman slightly more nerdy than I… my boyfriend refused to believe it until I got him to read a few of your posts! YAY KIMLI!

  11. I’m a day late!! But belated birthday wishers try harder! Looking forward to many more years of your incisive commentary and dirty, dirty girl jokes. Huzzah!
