Happy Blogiversary to me! Sort of!
See, my first blog post ever was made November 4, 2006...on MySpace. I know that's like the 8-track of social media, but at the time, it was pretty thrilling. Back then I'd been married just three years, was childless, 28, and (apparently) imagined myself some sort of post-ironic social commentator. I know I'm dating this blogiversary from today, the date I first posted on Blogger, but come-- won't you venture back with me through the annals of time to an era when I straightened my hair, watched the OC, and flew enough to save frequent flier miles?
This is from November 12, 2006:

"I just got back from a Death Cab for Cutie show, which was more packed than any I've attended in Columbus (except for that Queensryche show in '99 to which I was dragged kicking and screaming).
There were these two 40-ish guys in front of me, cracking wise, hip in that Weezer-glasses, I'm older-but-I'm-still-down way.
They played "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" mid-set, which is a song I loved back in the early days. Anyway, at that point, one of the two guys leaned in and asked the other one if he wanted to couples skate.
I know. That's some funny shit."

Wow. CLASSY. So 40-ish was "old" back then, was it? Yeah...my husband will be 40 on his next birthday. And "back in the early days" just absolutely belies comment.
That couples skate remark is still good, though. I'd still laugh at that, so we're not so different, she and I.
