Happy Birthday, Dreamwidth
Apr. 30th, 2013 11:26 pmTime zones? What are time zones?
So four years ago today, give or take whichever end of the day we're talking about, I was sitting on this very internet (if not this very computer), excited, thrilled, terrified, and amazingly restless, waiting for the Open Beta to commence.
We ordered pizza for the Faultless Pajama Foundry apartment where Dreamwidth's owners and spice were huddled, waiting to make sure everything went off without a hitch.
There were some bobbles. Mark oopsed the website at least once. There was a problem with the shop and there was another seed account sale for people who didn't get a chance the first time around.
It was incredible.

zarhooie said, we probably wouldn't want to go through all that again, but oh my god. It was amazing. I have met so many excellent people, including and especially
zarhooie -- I gave her my phone number so she could call to keep company and keep safe on the road when she was headed somewhere or other, and then suddenly we were inseparable. I was thinking "Who is this Kat person and how come she is always on my phone?" and then we were braintwins. I wouldn't trade her. ♥
Here's to another four and beyond.
