h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Tomorrow is my birthday, but I'll be out of town (and probably away from an Internet connection) so I'll post my birthday thoughts today. It's been an interesting year. It has been another year of new experiences and things learned. I've started going to a new school, met new people, made new friends, and tried new things. I've learned a lot on H2G2, in school, and in life. In fact, the first time I read The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy was less than a year ago, and so was my first visit to H2G2. A lot of things have happened since that fateful day when I first checked The Book out of my school's library. Unfortunately, one of the things that happened was the death of Douglas Adams
This will be my first birthday as a researcher. I only recently became a researcher on H2G2, although I used to read many entries in the pre-BBC days. One day a couple of weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to start writing some entries of my own, so I registered. Since then, I have written three entries (not counting my personal space), posted to numerous conversations, and read countless entries.
All in all, it has been a fun year. Have some cake while you read my entries. Happy Birthday to me!
