Hello my fellow Water Drinkers, Fountain Fairies, and TEA Enjoyers, October 17th was a very special day for this website. And while I indeed planned on making an article, we all know that neither time nor my ADHD are ever on my side when I go to make anything, but considering the way this site was made (Late night on the 17th bleeding into the morning hours of the 18th), I think today still technically counts for an anniversary post being on time. But yeah, it's the 1 year anniversary of this site.

So, originally I had made my 150 followers special and had expressed my grattitude at you all for deciding to come and spend your time here. However, I will reiterate once more: Thank you for continuing to follow me, leaving kind messages and compliments, and just stopping by. When I first made my site, I had never considered it really growing the way that it has. I just kind of made it due to boredom and frustration at other web communities not exactly providing the experience I wanted when it came to self expression, so I'm happy to know that others like my work. I hope to return to the rest of my work in full force so that I can continue to provide content that hopefully most people like. With that said, let's continue to the main point of this article.

I remember there was a quote from a favorite musical of mine that has always really stuck with me, even as far back as highschool:

"How do you measure a year?"

Outside of the obvious passage of time, it is quite hard to quantify. Luckily, I have a folder worth of data that can put some sort of numbers forth, and that's what we're going to be looking at. So, on my attempts to measure my year with Neocities, please join me as we compile these records together.
