It is my E2 anniversary. I became a user a year ago today, after jbird told me about the site. Thanks J. It's been a neat year; I've learned a lot. I can format simple HTML now. Go me!
This is the sum of my first year on E2:
w/u's : 165
XP : 2803
Node-Fu : 17.0
C!s : 36
Write-up with highest rep : I am not attractive : 33
Write-up with lowest rep : U-Dub : -2
I've been blessed once, never cursed, and never borged.
I am not an exceptional noder, but I think I contribute fairly well. I try to add content, and I try to earn my bullshit.
The most important thing I've learned so far is that almost every acceptable factual node will get at least one downvote from somebody...
...and that's okay, because
XP doesn't matter
Will: He used to just put a belt, a stick, and a wrench on the kitchen table and say, "Choose."
Sean: Gotta go with the belt, there.
Will: I used to go with the wrench.
Sean: The wrench, why?
Will: 'Cause fuck him, that's why.
