14 Year Blog-iversary

 So today marks 14 year since I started this blog, which is so crazy to think about.  I started this blog originally as a place to host my drawings of the ABBA members, and it became a place to share my thoughts and obsessions about my favorite band in the world.  I started this blog as a child, not expecting anyone to really view my blog.  I don't really know how many viewers I have now, Blogger doesn't really have an easy way of tracking that information, and if anyone who found my blog back then is still following today, I really appreciate it. :)

A quick update - I apologize for being kinda quiet here lately. I am still actively listening to ABBA quite often (we recently but a thumbdrive of our own ripped music in the car, and I put a couple of ABBA albums on it - just a couple so as to not overwhelm everyone hahaha - and it still brings such joy when one of the albums I put comes on), and I am just as obsessed - I just haven't really had much to talk about.  I still get ideas for YouTube videos, I just haven't really had the energy to actually do the work and compile them.

But, in some more uplifting news, on February 6th I adopted a new friend for my budgie Mordecai.  His name is Pebbles and he is an absolute sweetheart.  He seems to have some beak overgrowth issues and some feather breaking tendencies that seem to be due to some past trauma that he had in his previous life, but otherwise he is quite happy here, spending a lot of his day foraging for millet and seeds, singing, and trying to get Mordecai to play with him.  Mordecai does play with him, but my boy always has been a bit of a grumpy bird, so he's not always in a playful mood, but the most important thing is that they get along and Mordecai's depression has subsided. <3  

Although I've never been the most vocal about myself and my personal life, only giving tidbits and small details about my life, I realize longtime viewers have basically watched me grow up, and that is quite humbling to think about.

Again, I appreciate anyone who's stuck with me this long, and happy anniversary to this silly little blog of mine. :3
