ah!

so i'm sitting here thinking, 'august 18th. i feel like that's something.' but i often feel like a date is something, and facebook wasn't telling me it was anyone's birthday, so i decided that it probably wasn't anything after all.
um, hello, melilot! oh you who were just at target referring to yourself in your head as mel because you so identify yourself with that name now. it's your 6th blogiversary!!!
so once again, i will use this opportunity to thank all of you for putting up with me so well. without you this wouldn't be nearly as fun. without you i'd have to get a real hobby, like scrapbooking or bike-riding. without you i wouldn't have to think of a third thing to put here to make a flowing triptych.
now, while usually i take my blogiversary to get back to my hobbit roots, i am in the midst of my leakycon tales right now, and i don't want to interrupt the flow. however, after i finish my hp posts, i do intend to get back to my lotr-ness. for now i'll just say this:
