Against all odds, this highly inconsistent blog is close to reaching 500 followers. It is also reaching its third anniversary, though I can’t recall when the exact date is until I check. How did this happen? I seriously have no clue.
So what should I do? I’m asking everyone now because I was busy last year and totally pretended the latest anniversary and milestone didn’t happen, so maybe I should try to make up for that. After all, you all stuck around to read my infrequent and sporadic posts. (Giving my latest followers YouDeserveGod.com or naturalskincarelove the benefit of the doubt that they keep up too.)
Previously, I have thanked individual people by name (when I had few enough followers for that), did song covers (which still make me blush), and just gushed my thanks all over the place. What’s next?
Feel free to shoot me a suggestion in the comments, use my contact page, or talk to me on Twitter. I value all suggestions!
Congratulations on the milestone! Impressive number of followers, too!

Congrats, Moyatori! Maybe you can have a list of your favorite posts, have a special congrats for your 500th follower, and/or making an original song for this occasion.

Early congrats! Maybe a list as ospreyshire suggested, or a q&a.

Q&A is one thing I’ve never done on this blog or Twitter, so who knows, I might give that a go!

Maybe take recommendations from your followers (anime-only if you want to stick to your theme, or anything if you’re game for it), grab a random number generator and watch what you’re dealt…it’ll be interesting!
Anyways, congrats on your upcoming milestones.

Idk if you knew that before, but I’m crazy about random number generators, and that sounds like a very plausible idea!

Nearly 500 followers in 3 years? That’s more than me and my blog has been going for 8 years… Congrats! 🙂

I’m fairly baffled myself. I guess I do follow new blogs from time to time, and if they generally blog about similar things, they tend to follow back. Consistent blog-reading is definitely one aspect I’ll have to keep working on though!

Congratulations. Why appologize? You blogged when you could and they have been good blog posts. I like the recommendations from some of your commentators.

Thanks for the kind words, Pat. Not blogging consistently doesn’t trouble my conscience nearly as much as it does many of my more diligent peers. Apologizing because of…the Canadian in me?

Canadians do have a deserved reputation for being nice. Never accuse our nation, especially our President of that.

Congratulations on reaching 500 (as well as on your blog’s third anniversary)! One thing I can suggest apart from a Q&A was maybe write a post about how far your blog has evolved since you first started it?

Congratulations Moya, most bloggers do not last this long at WordPress.com from my experiences, and so that alone is an achievement.
Maybe you could look at your all-time WordPress.com stats and share what some of your most popular posts & pages, clicks, referrers, commentors, countries, search terms, et cetera are.
Have a nice day,

Thank you, John Jr! Stats are certainly fun. I’m thinking I might save most of that for the end of the year, but perhaps it wouldn’t hurt to give people a glimpse of the (rather unexciting) stats in advance.

You are welcome Moya, you are probably right about waiting until the end of the year to share your stats, this post alone along with the conversations here are probably good enough as a celebration. 🙂

Thanks for that! I already have an anime for my watch (Kino’s Journey), but feel free to suggest any titles to me anyway!
Btw, I watched Angel’s Egg thanks to your suggestion and absolutely loved it. In fact, I’m tempted to call it the best film I’ve seen all year!

Good, Angel’s Egg was actually one of the anime that I was thinking about recommending, and so I am glad that you watched it and liked it. 🙂
I look forward to reading a possible future post about it on your blog. 😉

Chris Stuckmann mentioned that in his video about this movie, that was my own thought as well, and that was part of my own crazy personal interpretation that I did of this movie during a moment of depression et cetera; I actually found my note of my crazy personal interpretation years later, and I made a blog post about it.
