One Fifty

Yesterday's post was my one hundred and fiftieth post on this blog, and I wanted to do something cool and exciting for it.  Unfortunately, I didn't even start writing until 11:45, because I was having so much fun with my roommates, and I knew fifteen minutes was not enough time to write something as good as what I wanted.  So the milestone was postponed until today.

Those of you who know me know that I love any and all milestones.  Really, I just love having a reason to celebrate, and anything that makes that possible is good for me.  So, even though 150 is not necessarily a significant milestone, I am still going to do something special to celebrate.  Plus, I didn't even acknowledge my two-year anniversary of this blog earlier this month, so this post will make up for it.  PLUS, as of today we are know halfway through BEDA!  Yup, today's post definitely has to be significant.

I've been on the Internet now for over a decade.  I got my first email address when I was eleven, and have been slowly building up my presence since then.  I had a myspace, back when it was still relevant.  I got a facebook when myspace started to die out, and then I was introduced to youtube, among many, many other websites.  Needless to say, I have learned a lot from the Internet in the last decade.  So, today I am going to give a list of 150 things the Internet has taught me:
