This weekend, the sitemeter odometer ticked over to the 10,000 mark. That's ten thousand visitors since I moved here from blogspot. Is this a world beater number? Nope. But it still seems highly significant to me. When I started this blog, I did so because I just felt like I had some things to say and I wanted a forum in which to do it. And now just over 10,000 people have stopped by to read. In the process, I have made some new friends and been included in a community of pretty wonderful bloggers. In fact, if you are not aware of Mu.Nu., graciously hosted by Pixy, go click on the sidebar labeled "Munuvians" to browse through the list of the denizens of MuNu.
I'm still not really sure what my blog is, though. I don't think it fits neatly into a simple category but that's not a bad thing. Feel free to chime in if you have mentally slotted my blog into a category. I'd be very curious to hear where you've put it since I have no idea myself.
Anyway, thanks for coming and reading. For those of you who have left comments (I heart comments), thanks doubly!

Posted by: Wicked H at December 6, 2004 08:07 AMwell...i agree it doesn't fit in a category...and that...is a good thing.
congrats on the 10,000.
Your blog doesn't have to fit in a category. In fact, other than the music blogs I have listed (because they offer Mp3s of rare or hard-to-find music), I don't have any "themed" blogs I link to. And if I do accidentally link to a "theme" blog, I eventually take it off because it's too one-dimensional for em.
I like "people" blogs, where intelligent and very nice people like you talk about whatever interests them at the moment. Their life, their relationships, their thoughts on the world. Whatever they are thinking about.
That's why I keep coming back, Random. :-) Congrats on the 10,000!
