Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Oh hey: I forgot to notice that I just passed my five year anniversary of blogging. Five years! As always, the first post remains for you to read and enjoy. If you ever want to kill a couple days, start at the beginning and read all the way through. I guarantee you’ll find a million broken links and hilarious hidden secrets. I used to write a lot of things here that I shouldn’t, and while I’ve cleaned up the archives pretty well over the years, god knows what you might find back there.
Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

Happy blogging anniversary! Now I have a mission–to go back and read your early entries. Should be amusing.

Me too, Ivy. That’s why I have other secret, more secure places to write. I have yet to find the perfect solution however, which would involve two versions of Electrolicious, one for the public, and one for logged in users. Until Movable Type makes this possible, I’m stuck with keeping Elish tame.
Google did this to me by making the internet so searchable. Well, and I did it to myself by letting this blog get popular enough that everyone (friends, family, employers) know about it.

Congrats on your longevity!
( And I think I’m going to take that recommendation to find a more secure place to write. )
