On this, my 3rd anniversary

February 20, 2002

three years ago today i launched my first website, a string of purple pages and sloppy code. a handful of people read it and only a few of those people really knew me. i didn’t know i would last this long. i didn’t really stop to think about it at all.

i read the stuff i wrote then, and i want to laugh and cry and scream and sigh all at once. it’s amazing what changes in one, two, even three years.

it’s amazing what doesn’t.

i guess that’s why i’m still here. i’m still dreaming, wondering, learning, telling, hoping. and i’m still sharing it with you.

the other night, i caught a lipstick drawn girl staring at me from the stall wall of the short stop bathroom. the words above her tired eyes read, “now what?”

and all i could think was, stand up, flush the toilet, put your pants back on and walk out the door.

 


  • I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>


  • I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
    I look on the bright side.
    I take photos. Lots of photos.
    I wish on stars and on websites.


  • I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
    I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
    I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
    I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
