bound by wild desire, I fell into a ring of fire...
I fell into a burning ring of fire
And it burns, burns, burns, the ring of fire, the ring of fire.
The taste of love is sweet, when hearts like ours meet:
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
Starting with a little travel blog in the autumn of 2009, being read by half a dozen friends, this how I felt after I started posting to memes: as if I'd fallen into a ring of fire in a three-ring circus. I now have 255 followers and my stats page shows almost 55,000 page views (not including the times I view it myself), with 3,588 of them last month alone. Today there are a thousand posts to be found on my blog. I have more, in draft, which only I can see. I can't help but wonder how these numbers translate into blogging success. Is this good or not? I don't know.
My 1000th post is being posted for my favorite meme

Thursday Theme Song
because song, whether on radio, in the car, on a record-player, on TV, on cassettes, on CDs, at home, on vacation, wherever two or more members of the Davies family happened to be, was an important part of our lives. We were always playing "Name That Tune" — if the radio announcer didn't give the name, we'd say "Who sang that?" or "Who played that trumpet...that saxophone...that piano?" and the winner didn't get anything except the right to gloat until the next song came on. This probably started when I learned to talk, and it continues. Even without Mom and Dad, if I'm with one of my brothers we can't hear a familiar tune without trying to see who can name the artist fastest.
Thanks for the memories, Anni!
