I joined this site a random day,

Not expecting much.

And for those first few weeks (about 7)

That was how it was.

Reading random stories,

Not interacting much at all,

Never ever expecting,

What would come with next year's call.

But around Christmas 2023,

I found myself amazed.

As that was when I began to find,

Amazing friends in this place.

And ever since for a full year,

With plenty of ups and downs,

This place has felt like a second home,

I can't thank you enough.

Of course I have been careful,

And have kept most of you at arms reach.

But I have let a few find their way,

Into my own corner of space.

So thank you one and all,

And Merry Christmas if you celebrate.

Thank you all so goddamn much,

For making my time here great.

I will not list you all,

(As we'd be here all day),

But here's a few highlights,

To get it out of the way:
