Well, here we are at two hundred entires. If anyone asks me what I've done with my life in the past two years, I can say, "I've gone to grad school and helped run a household," and then when they say, "No, what have you done that is *creative* in the past two years?" I can say, "Oh, I've posted on this website." And then they can shrug and inch away.

Anyway, here are some of my favourite entries from the past 100:

• Schlepping a desk, Silver Cannons and Trivial Pursuit, good indications of how awesome my parents are.

• Little stories like Thank Goodness I'm So Strong, Tow Truck Follies, He Died for Our Sins and Things Don't Work

• Some conversations with Nate. Everyone should have conversations with Nate.

• There are a few posts that have gotten a disproportionate number of hits from Google searches, like the one on Scorsese's Blues, or the one about my dad meeting the cardiologist or the one about me having hadglasses and braces. The first two are kind of flukes, but really, who searches for "glasses and braces"? Stop creeping me out, The Internet.

• Along the same lines, I'll always cherish the hits I got searching for Johnny Fly/His Boy Elroy/Fade to Black because: 1) It's a fine song and 2) I seem to be the Internet Authority on this one.

• If you've been reading this webdiary, you know I have a hopeless infatuation with Blixa Bargeld. You may make fun, but ask yourself: do you really understand love? Love is not a mutual attraction or the feeling of affection for a friend or a child. Love is the lust and admiration I have for a minor celebrity who I have nothing in common with, who I will never meet and who is old enough to be my father. Please enjoy: The time I realized I have a minor connection to Blixa, the time I was saddened because he was married and therefore went to the museum and the time I went to the Einstürzende Neubauten concert , which I wish I was still at.

• Sometimes, I would post about my life. I had a visit from Ben, enjoyed my lovely weekend, learned about Dialog(and met my new friend Brandy whilst doing so) and met Ted Rall.

• I liked writing about Christine, because Christine is TEH AWESOME!!!11!

• Finally, I wrote a bit about my love of comedy here and here.

So, in honor of finally reaching 200 posts, I've added a link to my Amazon Wish-List, (<- over there, on the left), so you can look at it and mock the things I like. Also, I'll be adding a link to Post 200 and Post 100 fairly soon. Thanks for reading! I love you all!
