  • Looking back - 2003 to current

    It is hard to believe I started this thing in April of '03 muttering thoughts of insecurity and loneliness. It will 10 years come next April, I will be 30 years of age by then. So in a moment of nostalgia and a curiosity I took a look at my post archive and came up with a host of figures:

    I have posted 1338 entries not including this one.

    My median is 10 per month.

    The most entries I have ever posted in a month is 36.

    The least amount of entries I have ever posted in a month is (not withstanding zero): 2

    My most productive years are:
    2010: I had 305 entries
    2009: I had 239 entries
    2003: I had 167 entries

    My least productive years are:
    2007: I had 24 entries
    2006: I had 73 entries
    2004: I had 80 entries

    Longest time without posting anything was an entire year between Nov '06 and Nov '07. Ironically one of the hardest times in my life.

    I have posted 67 entries so far this year.

  • It's always interesting to look back through your archives. I try to go back and get statistics, but I always get caught up reading my old posts and lose track of why I was in my archives to begin with. You've inspired me to try again. This time I'm going to stay focused!

  • interesting. now I kind of want to look back and see how many I have.

    I think I know which year I have the least and it's because I was really happy.
    so 30? are you going to do something big or are you one of those people who are dreading it?

  • Nice stats! How many were photo posts and how many were poetry vs prose?? (I am coming up on a milestone for posts... but I keep forgetting to look)

  • I love your statistics. I did not know you could do that.

  • Did you painstakingly count or is there an easy button to do this? It is pretty neat !

  • @awoolham - No I entered this all into Excel based on the post calender on Xanga, I even made a chart...

    @ANVRSADDAY - It ain't easy...

    @murisopsis - I was thinking of that when I did this...and to figure that out would take forever...I think though that 2009-2010 were almost entirely words and the more recent stuff has been 70% photos-30% writing at least that is how it feels...

    @TheSecretLifeOfPandas - Probably dreading...I am not exactly where I want to be...

    @saintvi - ha...good luck...I do the same myself...

  • Yeah I feel ya. my birthday just passed and I'm super not in the place I want to be or probably should be at my age.

    also a whole excel spreadsheet? that's kind of intense. I'd probably make it to 2006 and then get tired and give up on it.

  • 2010 was a good year. I posted a lot because I had no life. You inspired some of my posts. You wrote a lot of creative (and funny) stuff that year.
