I'm sure you guys remember when we were obsessing over "one-year" marks. And a lot of us had been here for a year at that point, but some of us hadn't...

I'm sure that A LOT of you have been here for a year now, but there's a lot of new people here, too.

I'm pleased to announce that April 21st was my 2-year mark!

Which means on April 21st, 2009, I was the n00b that was... n00bish. I was 13 years old, in the 7th grade, and preparing for my final tests in school. On April 21st, 2009, the wiki was so different. It was at the beginning of its journey (which started June 2008, I think). The people here were different, too, and some of you have stuck it out with me.

Now, we have 70 active users (and counting), a grand total of 19,506 edits (and counting), and 2,586 articles (and counting).

On Tuesday, April 21st, 2009, the top ten songs were:
 * 1) Kelly Clarkson - "I Do Not Hook Up"
 * 2) Eminem - "We Made You"
 * 3) Flo Rida - "Sugar" (ft. Wynter)
 * 4) P!nk - "Please Don't Leave Me"
 * 5) Beyonce - "Halo"
 * 6) Kid Cudi - "Day n' Nite"
 * 7) Pitbull - "I Know You Want Me (Callie Ocho)"
 * 8) Britney Spears - "If U Seek Amy"
 * 9) 3OH!3 - "Don't Trust Me"
 * 10) Shinedown - "Second Chance"

How many of you guys remember those? LOL, I only remember, like, 4 or 5.

O.o Wow the world is weird.

Well... anyway... 2 years... Osama bin Laden wasn't dead then. xD And I hadn't had cancer and all that stuff.

Now I'm in high school, learning to drive, and next week I'm seeing a doctor I see regularly for lasers for a scar on my neck. Haven't things changed?

2 years means hard work, and I'm not allowed to stop. I'm not allowing myself, anyway, and I hope the rest of you think that, too.

So... yeah... going for 3 years now! WISH ME LUCK!
