Yay me! (aka this is the beginning of The Gay Gamer's 10th year as a blog)

Just in case you haven't been keeping track (and, really, why would you?), I published my very first post here all the way back on Feb. 1, 2007.

In other words, this is the start of my 10th year as a blogger.

OK, so that's not entirely accurate. What do I mean? Well, I took a bit of a break from The Gay Gamer after putting about six months into it, and I didn't come back to it again until the beginning of 2009.

Regardless, I'm pretty proud of reaching this milestone, so I'm going to celebrate it. Uh, yay me!

I'm also going to thank everyone who has visited at one point or another--especially those of you who have felt comfortable enough to leave the occasional comment.

If you've yet to leave a comment, why not start now? I've had some really wonderful conversations with folks in that section of the blog between 2007 and now, and I'm a firm believer in the old idiom, "the more the merrier."

Whether you come here to chat or lurk, though, I appreciate the attention all the same. Thanks again for helping make the last nine years of my life wonderful.

Is it weird that I'm celebrating the fact that I've published 2,000 posts on this blog since I started it all the way back in early 2007?

I hope not, because that's what I'm doing with this post.

Mind you, this isn't actually my 2,000th post. That post was published a few days ago. Technically, this post is this blog's 2006th.

Still, better late than never, right?

In all seriousness, I'm pretty shocked that I've made it to this point.

I'm fairly certain I know what's kept me going for the last six years, though: all of you great folks who visit and comment and otherwise help make this a blog one that I continue to enjoy updating on a nearly daily basis.

Thank you all for your support, kindness and friendship.
