This postTop of the Mountains turns two years old today. It’s come a long way, I think, from those first baby-step posts to where we are now, with over eighty readers. Thanks, everyone! It wouldn’t be the same without you. :)
As befits a nostalgic post like this one, I thought I’d go through some of my posts over these past two years and bring ‘em back to life. Not every month is represented, and some months have far more than others. Oh well. :) Here goes:
First post, March 18, 2005: Germanic languages.
May 2005: Elder Oaks’ talk on dating. In Bookworms Anonymous I said I found it hard to make time to read. Well, since then I’m happy to report I’ve fixed the problem. If anything I’ve gone too far in the opposite direction. ;)
September 19, 2005: my decision to become a librarian.
October 2005: Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled.
November 2005: my first (and last) vlog post.
January 2006: LibraryThing, watching the Joseph Smith movie for the first time, and what I want most.
February 2006: Poisons and Paradise, about entertainment choices.
March 2006: why I dress the way I do, my stake president’s counsel to avoid MySpace and Facebook, and how my laptop died (and I still haven’t gotten a new one, almost a year later :)).
April 2006: Orson Scott Card’s essay on homosexuality, and a link to my Beyond project (genealogy software), which has been hibernating for a while now but once I graduate I’ll have time to resurrect it.
May 2006: heavenly autographs, censorship, Sabbath sports, passion, dating, and seven reasons to study the classics.
June 2006: fairy stories, War in Heaven, my decision not to kiss till the altar, blogging advice, my encounter with President Hinckley, and an ode to Taco Bell.
July 2006: why I’m not an English major, the law of consecration, reading Grimm in German, Jane Austen, and infatuation.
August 2006: more on blogging, modesty, evolution, classics, cooking, leaps of faith, conspiracy theories, and my reader’s edition of the Book of Mormon,
September 2006: attraction, optimism (this one was actually about a girl), random observations, and Mormon literature.
October 2006: our refined heavenly home, awkward moments, more on dating, the campaign for real beauty, search terms people found my blog with, and the beginning of my photography career.
November 2006: languages, mythopoeia, photography, freeing the OED, Richard Dutcher’s apostasy, invisible children, the origin of my surname, and Santa Claus.
December 2006: Here, There Be Dragons, excellence in school, and the digital divide.
January 2007: food storage, being educated, homeschooling myths, the third installment of My Favorite Things, black Mormons, and photobooks.
February 2007: memorizing the Lady of Shalott, the Word of Wisdom, and the digital revolution.
And we’ll leave it at that, since this month’s posts are still fresh.
