Well, it has been 19 years since that fateful day 19 years ago...
Did Witchface mean to say "19" twice?
Who cares. Just let them get on with it otherwise we'll be here all night.
As I recall, our very first post did not have a title - that came later. As did the eye. No, not the one on the Sideboard (although that one did come later, too), the tiny, blue, glowy thing in the 19 year old post.

As blog beginnings go, it could have been a little more spectacular, I suppose. Having said that, I'm glad it didn't happen like this. At least, I don't think that's how it started?
Didn't it?
I don't know, I was asking you!
My mind has blocked out the traumatic incident that led to you and your bloody SubC taking up residence in it, thankfully.
Hey!
Yes: Hey! And, traumatic?! I hardly think it was traumatic. In fact, I'm sure it was wonderful! You should be grateful I arrived to instill a bit of pizzazz into your life because you certainly weren't doing anything with it.
"Pizzazz"? Christ. No one says pizzazz anymore.
Oh, pish posh. Anyway, it's a good job I did turn up - just think how lucky you are that this isn't going to happen now.
That happened because of you, you silly witch!
Yeah!
You're the one that cuts the toenails, so it's clearly your fault.
If you hadn't been in me then you wouldn't have been summonsed to the future and my great-to-the-power-of-six (or is it seven?) nephew wouldn't have had to travel back in time to stop it from happening!
*Ahem* We're getting somewhat off topic, here.
What exactly is the topic again?
Who knows? Some sort of half-arsed anniversary malarkey, I guess.
Well, it's certainly half-arsed. The time would have been better spent
visiting everyone else's blogs and replying to previous posts' comments.
That will have to wait until tomorrow as we're in the middle of an argument now!

Jon has already provided the link to a similarly themed choon in the comments, so here's a little something else for this post's soundtrack - Donovan and "Season of the Witch"
You've been blogging for 19 years? Congratulations! I only have 15 years under my belt.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Thank you, Janie! I'm pretty stunned to have made it this far and I'm not sure I'm ready for my twenties.
DeleteN-n-n-n-nineteen, nineteen
ReplyDeleteN-nineteen, nineteen
You missed a trick with that one...
Congratulations, by the way! I'm only at a mere 17 years. Jx
Ah, thanks for the congratulations and the link, Jon. It did pop into my mind, but fannying around with YouTube would have sent me down a procrastinating, video-clicking rabbit hole I didn't have time for.
DeleteOnly 17? But didn't you have a different online life before your Blogger blog? MySpace or somesuch?
I'm counting "The MySpace Years" as part of the greater whole, as every single thing I posted there is now reproduced here... Jx
Delete19 years? Our little lad has grown up so fast!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to believe I was only - [does some hasty calculations] - um, 18 when I started?
DeleteI am very glad to have met you in MJs shanty tavern.
ReplyDeleteThe feeling is mutual, dear Mago. Where would we be without The Very Mistress and her den of iniquity?
DeleteThe mind boggles.
DeleteThe mind boggles
DeleteIs your boggled mind why you posted twice, Very Mistress?
DeleteHooray! Happy 19 years! I'm happy to have met all three IDVs of you! There really couldn't be a more awesome song to celebrate with, by the way! It's one of my favorites! (Look at all these exclamation marks I've used; can't you tell I'm excited for you! ;))
ReplyDeleteAh, thank you, Melanie! I'm glad you're using up some of the exclamation marks as without Ms Scarlet around to make use of them, they were building up enough to be a tripping hazard!
DeleteDear gods-and-witches! All this reckoning of years and, worse! having one's own reckoning of years requires either a glass of fizz or a nice lie-down. Bit early for fizz (and I had extra fizz last night!) so another coffee may be the answer.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on staying the distance and introducing me to some of your friends. Cheers!
And thank you, too, Dinah! It's always sensible to have extra fizz as one never knows when the opportunity will arise again.
