Oh, is that the time already?

A year ago today I wrote my first post. The fact that November 11 is the first day of the carnival season was a coincidence. No, really.

I can vividly remember the frame of mind I was in when I decided to start blogging. Not exactly the chirpiest one, but looking back now I must say that the *things* that were bugging me back then feel small and insignificant in comparison to what is choking me these days. Ah well. You live and learn. Or maybe not.
