I've gone past my 200th entry without noticing it!
The last time I had a blogging milestone (read entry #100) I tried my darndest to make it special, but the effort wasn't very well appreciated. This time around I've forgotten totally about it.
(And yes, I do realise that for some reason the tags on those entries read #211 and #109 respectively. I think it must be because I had some unpublished/deleted entries...)
My first entry was on December 8, 2003. The 100th entry was on July 7, 2004. The 200th entry was about my impending work trip (yawn) and was written on February 28, 2005. It took me 212 days to reach my first milestone and 236 days to reach my second. That means, my pace has slowed down from 0.47 posts a day to 0.42 posts a day. (And FYI, you can easily calculate the number of days in Excel so I barely spent 5 seconds calculating this.)
I wonder if this means I'm slowly losing my enthusiasm for blogging, given that
a) I've forgotten the milestone, and;
b) my pace is slowing down.
Or maybe it just means that I have less bullshit to write about these days...
And using the same handy Excel capability, here's a list of interesting facts.
1) I have been walking/talking/bugging people for 9952 days.
2) I studied in Singapore for 4351 days.
3) I spent 1371 days in Berkeley.
4) I have been working for 1547 days.
5) I have been playing softball for 6636 days.
6) I have been waiting for Flyboy for 1069 days. AND COUNTING...
This means that up till today, I have spent 15.5% of my life working, 57.5% of my life studying, 66.7% of my life playing softball and 10.7% of my life waiting for Flyboy.

And you don't see anything wrong with this?
*tears hair out*
Posted by: Nat at March 7, 2005 02:52 PMHey Nat,
I've given up on even reminding her...
Scrabby..
anyway congratulations on Post #202 girl!
You've provided some entertainment and humour at those exasperating hours of screen staring...
Keep it up.. !! ;-)

I think it's great that you spent 2/3 of your life playing softball!!!! I can probably claim the same for myself, right? I can't think of a better activity to occupy most of my life!

B & Nat: Of course there's something wrong.
When I get to 15% of my life you guys seriously need to kick my ass. That would be July 18 2006.
When I get to 20% of my life you guys need to kick HIS ass. That would be May 1 2008.

=)
