Living in Narnia's 1 Year Anniversary
That's right, one year ago today, I stopped containing my bitterness and annoyance and started writing about it on the internet. On this blog, to be exact. It's hard to believe it was a year ago, mainly because every year I expect something amazing to happen that puts me in a wildly different place than I was during the prior year, and every year I become increasingly panicked that I am closer to being 30 with absolutely nothing to show for it except a slammin' body and bitchin' face. I actually hate anniversaries generally speaking, because the last time I was dating someone for a year I received a SpongeBob Squarepants watch from K-Mart as an anniversary gift in lieu of the diamond stud earrings that I had selected for myself and requested via telepathy. We broke up shortly thereafter.
On a "serious" note, I just wanted to thank you for reading. I "struggle" with "depression" and getting a random "thanks for writing" email or a comment letting me know that someone is out there agreeing with me about The Bachelor really helps. As does fish oil.
Highlights of the year include being picked up by Racked, CNN and Awful Plastic Surgery. I am especially proud of the Awful Plastic Surgery mention, for obvious reasons. Anyway, I'm happy that I've been able to give a voice to the bitter, disenfranchised people that I know exist out there. The people who are not willing to accept mandals. The people who are angry when boring political programming interrupts critical shows and become infuriated when Tim Russert is treated like a fallen hero for simply having a heart attack at his desk and dying. The people who yearn for an official ranking of candy bars based on deliciousness and who believe in their hearts that Nights in Rodanthe has ruined their lives. I am proud to speak on behalf of those 327 unique people (according to Sitemeter), and I look forward to the day when I am paid for doing so.

You are way cooler than the Facebook guys...
Graduations, Marin!
Expect a bouquet of balloons from mom that she bought at Thumbs Up.
those balloons look like they came from THUMBS UP!
I can honestly say that your hilarious, dark and witty blog has saved me many a day from jumping out a window or having a breakdown in my office in BigLaw. If that is a sad reflection on my life, so be it. If that ain't enough of a reason for you to live and keep blogging, I don't know what is! But really, knowing that there are really intelligent, witty, pop culture savvy and generally kick ass people in this world makes me feel like yes, there are still genuinely interesting people out there in this world that have unique things to say and that do make this world a better place and make life a little more bearable in these trying times!!!! YOU ROCK!
thanks for writing.
that is all.
Marin, thank you from me and my mom for writing such hilarious sh*t. Love, The Wisnia Family
