Well, this is my first e2 birthday.
I think I’ve got the hang of e2 now. This took some time. Everything2 is the largest community I‘ve ever belonged to - my home town has only 30,000 people while e2 has 55,000 users. I find this more than slightly odd. I first came to e2 when I was 14, so my perspective may be quite different from the average noder’s.
E2 has introduced me to many things. With the help of various mp3 file sharing networks it has widened my musical experience greatly. I would like to thank e2 especially for showing me:
There are many others, but these are the ones that come to
mind immediately. As well as informing me about rock and roll, e2 has
enlightened me about
sex and
drugs (sex and drugs and rock and roll - ah-hah-ah-hah). But really, e2 has shown
me a lot of
things that you don’t get taught in school.
When I first came here, I had no expectation of where (level/XP/nodecount-wise) I would be now. This year I am setting myself targets: I want to be level 4 or above, but I don’t think I will get above level 5. I also, more importantly, want to have done something for e2 that will make it a better place.
I love you, e2!
