10 years ago today, I posted the very first entry on this blog, featuring my recap of and yapping about the first chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga! In my cold open to that post, at the end of the very first paragraph, I joked about how focus was not one of my strong suits.
In hindsight, that was a fucking lie.
What madness caused me to consistently comment on every single chapter of three separate manga for a decade straight? I can't say, but I AM comfortable saying that this is the longest running project of my life, and despite how strange some others might find it, I am immensely proud that it's reached 10 years old. As a container for my thoughts on specific fiction, it's been invaluable, and as a way to just get out of my head for a little while and into pulling apart another world, it's been a godsend.
I've bought it a nice little cake for the occasion, even though my husband and I will be the ones consuming it. If I had a little more foresight, I might have ordered something beautiful and ready for social media, but alas, it is a mere generic celebration cake from the grocery store.
