The Year of The Blog
Posted in Blog, Photo Blog by: LottieTime really does fly by. Today is my One-Year Bloggiversary and what an year it has been. In the past 12 months, I have met the best people in the world, amazing, funny, kind, intelligent. I have somehow managed to accumulate just over 300 posts and over 2500 comments (no wonder I have a mountain of work sitting on my desk).
Thank you everyone for being so nice and keeping me company and particular to the more seasoned bloggers for not laughing at me.
You all Rock!
March ….A bit of slow starter due to exams.
April…New bloggery paintballing.
May… Beach Season begins
June… If this building had burned down, the Internet would have gone silent.
Okay – this is also June but Kilkenny ROCKS!
July… And the cocktails started to flow.
August…Perhaps the most fun yet. It definitely warrants two photos.
Then September… My first soundcheck…
October.… And I chose not to ride with Batman
but we did have some good Suntory…
November…the Burlesque bug catches more people in it’s net
December...
January …Did I mention I was in New York? (It still counts as a blogger related thing as I met other bloggers over there)
February… and i’ve caught a slight case of the Twitter bug.
Roll on the next 12 months!

Congrats lovely lottie
You are an inspiration with your wonderfully named blog.
In fact seeing as I set up my, all too oft neglected online home a month before you
I feel more than a little shamefull.
Thanks for commenting on my blog and reminding me when I was letting it slide.
You are a great blogopolis ambassador

@Elf – Fair weather blogger? Where’s your commitment, your stamina? I suppose you’re one of these people who care about other things other than blogging. Pah! (But thank you all the same)
@Darragh – I Know you do! It took me ages to weed down the photos of the two of you. He may have a problem there.
@GoE – You’re so lovely to say that. Can I now claim credit for your blog? I’m pretty sure that’s how it works… No?
@GM – i hope so!
@Ciara – It came around so fast – I had to throw this post together at t few minutes to midnight last night. Hence not great quality photos but you get the gist. ooh and look at my demon eyes.
@Anthony – Shhhurrrrup!

Comhghairdeas missus! I love that corset dress you’re rocking by the way, it’s giving me gúna-envy.

Congrats lovely! Excellent choice of pictures !
You deserve those lovely shoes for your fun year two of bloggery!
March 10th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Actually that Kilkenny photo – that’s the first time I noticed Jason Byrne and Des Bishop!
March 10th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Congrats Lottie. I’m still laughing at Darragh leching over Ben at every opportunity – see Sep & Dec. You could probably make a calender of months with Darragh drooling over Ben. It all starts to make sense..

I’ve been a bit out of the loop today so sorry to come late to this
I remember saying to you recently that this place above many others I know has been mutating so much over the last few months and has really been becoming something compelling and extraordinary and fascinating.
I don’t say that lightly and I don’t just say that because you’re my friend…
Happy anniversary

‘Must be great to touch a fellow-blogger. (sigh)

Roll on Kilkenny ‘09! I love your blog, happy blogaversary

@Kitty Cat – It’s pretty though isn’t it. I love it.
@Whoopsadaisy – My head is still a little spinny.
@r – Thank you. (and for the text too) You make me cry!
@Sinead – Big glasses and Polaroids all the way.
@RP _ they just slipped in there. Given the look on Jason Byrnes face, you have to question where Anto’s hand is.
@BNGR – Hmm. I didn’t realise that Darragh was having a lash at Ben in both of those. Big idea for next week maybe. I’m so going to do that!
@Rick – Thank you. Im not really sure how that’s happening but hopefully it will find it’s path soon.
@Ken – Not as great as you might think.
@Sinead – Yay. my hangover today is a result of Kilkenny next May. it’s not good that it’s starting already.

Great sum up of the year, think these kinda posts RAWK!
Happy blog birthday!
As for Darragh? He knows what side his bread is buttered….

@Ben – You have a beard now? Thank you. I think you were the first “blogger” I heard about following some shindig in O’Neill’s. It’s all your fault really.
@r – Don’t. Please. I’ll cry.
