an anniversary post because TOMORROW is my blog anniversary.

Tomorrow is the 2nd anniversary of my blog. Yay! I love blog anniversaries. I like them more than my own birthday...um...no comment...
I still don't have a lot of ideas for my blog's little birthday. There will be a giveaway most likely someday pretty soon. I have an idea for that, but I'm not sure how it'll turn out and first I have to make it. Means a lot of thinking and crafting over the weekend (which starts tomorrow afternoon...do I ALWAYS have to point out that my weekends start wednesday afternoon? Apparently, yes).

This is a pre-anniversary post. I don't have anything better to do, except going to university...where I should be right now...but who cares about university? That's why I'm sitting in bed with my pj pants on (it's 4 pm) listening to Tom Milsom. I just downloaded some more of his music, which he gives away for free (or you can pay if you want) and every time I download something I feel bad for not paying. But one day when I earn my own money I'll download some of his music again, just to give him money. I really want to do that :)

The last year was amazing. Internet-wise. My real life is nothing else than a mess. So many things happened. My first blogger year was good as well, but I feel like the second year was much better. I got closer to my followers and I feel at home when I open Blogger.
I'm also much more me now. I've always been me, but it was hard for me during the first year to be 100% me without trying hard to be perfect. I'm not perfect.
I also met some awesome people. I totally count Shaynie and Hope to my best friends now. Thank you! :)

I entered the world of Twitter, which was one of the best things I've ever done. I refused another year to join Facebook, which is also one of the best things I'm doing...avoiding Facebook.
And finally today at 5:30 am (or something like that) I joined Tumblr. Which was also a long way. I always thought Tumblr is great, but I never wanted to join it. Recently I followed a bunch of Tumblr blogs wihout having a Tumblr, which turned out to be hard. Imagine following 10-15 blogs wihout having them in your Reader or on your Dashboard.
That's why I joined Tumblr. My Tumblr ist called "scraps of old volumes, wire and glue". Check it out and feel free to follow (and you are also welcome to do this crazy thing where you follow it without having Tumblr, which I have to warn you will turn into you making a Tumblr).

My Tumblr titles comes from one of my favorite songs ever. The Worm in the Apple - Ezra Furman and the Harpoons.
Titles...hm...I like the title for my Tumblr and I'm okay with my blog title. It could have been worse. I chose this name two years ago, when I had no idea how to name things and my English wasn't the best back then.
Another good thing. My English is much better now. When I started two years ago I could have never written such a long post. The internet is the best way to learn English.

Now, this was a lot of rambling. Before I go and try to find something to eat (haven't eaten anything yet...only some chocolate) enjoy this little video. I put together a video with all the pictures I took with my webcam since December 2010. I love to play around with my webcam.
Bye.

  2. Sometimes I feel bad when I download free music too but I don't have tons of money so... yeah.

    You are one of my best friends too! ♥ :D Seriously, the internet is one of the most amazing places on earth. :) I can't imagine living without it. Like, what did kids do 100 years ago? They must have been bored out of their wits, haha. ;)

    Ah, I loved that video too much! :)

  3. Shaynie: Of course you are! :)

    Natalie: Thanks ;)

    Hope: I have no idea what kids did 100 years ago. I don't think they were bored, but their life was completely different. I'm super happy that we have the internet. I wouldn't know so many people around the world without it :)
