On Wednesday, August 1, our beloved blog turns two years old.
The date is also GAPA Appreciation Day and marks the beginning of GAPA Appreciation Week (hear, hear!).
Patience, Please
This site is under reconstruction and will look strange for a while. We regret the inconvenience.
hey, and it’s been a few days over two years since i moved! and a month less than two years since i joined the blog. Happy b-day blog, and huzzah for the flamablamablous GAPAs!!!
For some weird reason I thought it was three, but when I calculated it last night I saw it is two… HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!! THANK YOU GAPAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *pies*
Something I think would be really nice is not posting mean comments on the normal ones, like HT, evolution, etc…
Hey! We can celebrate with the GAPAs during the kokonventions! And mail Paul some cake! Well, the last part might not work out, but we could probably mail him an instant cake mix!
Two years? That seems like forever! I wish I’d come earlier.
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear Museblog!
Happy Birthday to you!
2) Hey! The cake thing probubly WOULD work! We could Bake it and put it in one of those sealable cake boxes. Then we put it in a “Fragile” box and surround it with bubble wrap! LOTS of bubblewrap! TONS and TONS of bubblewrap. Then we can mail it.
5-That would be a very good way to send it, but I was also concerned with spoilage… But if we could somehow create a vaccume inside the box… *Begins dreaming up strange cake preservation methods*
It’s about a year and a few months since I joined.
Happy Birthday, MuseBlog!!
I love museblog! I’ve been here for 1 whole year!
Oh, man…this happy day brings tears to my eyes…*sob*…HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MUSEBLOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[>[|)
That’s ironic. One of the few days that I come here (yeah, sorry about that…) and it happens to be MuseBlog’s birthday. I’ve been here for a year and almost 3 months now. I’ve been here for a while! Although I could have sworn I was here in ’05, but oh well. I’m probably mistaken. ^_^

Wooooo!!! Happy birthday, O beloved blog! *showers with choklits and pies* *sniff* It’s grown so much…

The Ballad of Museblog and the GAPAs
Once, long ago, before Museblog came about
There was (and is!) a great Magazine
Filled with science, canceling all doubts
That any was more fit for a certain group of teens:
The kind read and wrote, all just for fun
Who strayed away from the norm,
They didn’t watch much tv, the swam in the sun
Reveled in things like this Mag’s different form
It talked not of fashion or makeup or glitz;
Not of cars or celebrities
But instead dwelled in odd facts and wit
Language, math, and history
This magazine, rightly christened Muse
Was more often then not a source of joy
A chance for these kids of a different hue
To escape from the reality that’s employed
So one day, a writer, esteemed for the knowledge he shaped
Had this fateful thought: “Why should such a treasure
Come only once a month? Why limit such an escape?
We should give them a place to converge, at their leisure!”
So this writer called Robert, he modeled and molded,
And a Fan page was what he wrought
Slowly but surely it unfurled and unfolded
But this was not the end of his thoughts
He set up GaBoomBa, a place where could write
The Musers, at their own will
Their messages and comments were like sparkling lights,
Guiding others to this new place of thrills
And so GaBoomBa grew, but no longer were there
Just letters, there were conversations
From one to another, and Robert got his share
Of these these bright-eyed children’s revelations
So, he decided, we’ll change this format a bit!
Make it easier for them to talk, sing, and mourn;
He uploaded new software and pulled off some tricks,
And lo! Museblog was born!
First, tentatively, then with greater rush
The Musers took to the space
So Robert invited Rosanne to share the moderating brush
His writing partner and he, together they made it great
So, within time, a year had passed
With it bringing floods of new bloggers
They commented rapidly, ever so fast
The Admins worked at the speed of a blur
But, came a time when Rosanne had to leave
If only for a short while
But she, her bright mind did perceive
A way to keep up their smiles
She invited two people, as Robert had before,
To share in the Blogging resplendence
Rebecca and Paul, who we had previously adored
Soon became even more a part of it’s recesses
So now, as a second year draws to a close
And we still are cheering you on
You let us converse and rant and compose
As we approach yet another dawn
So let us take a moment to remember all you’ve done
The hour’s you’ve so willingly put in
You can’t conceive how we’d mourn if you were gone,
Near as close to us as our kin
Robert, the wise, the first to bring forth
This place of such happiness
He answers our questions with lightness and warmth
None can doubt your finesse
And Rosanne, ever the bright
Smiling as she mod’s even we can see,
Though we’re miles and miles out of sight,
We bow to you and doff our hats, on bended knee
Rebecca, though she dove in later on,
Is a sorceress of the mouse and the brush,
She weaves pictures of Muses and colors upon
A palate, of digital art as well as on paper lush
And dear Paul, though he lives far away
Is never not close to our hearts
Music, of all sorts he can play
On bagpipes and hurdy-gurdies, sounds rivaling art
So, our dear Admins, this day is for you
To do with as you please
Relax, enjoy, bask in your glorious reviews
And pies, as far as thy eyes can see.

*dances*
27- *claps madly* Hooray!
*pies everyone*
Oh GAPAs, I cannot thank you enough for the many threads you have given me and others, although I pestered in a most antisocial way. My gratitude becomes even less adequate when I think that without you, there would be no MuseBlog!
Long live the GAPAs! Three cheers! *gives all four of them pieces of pie*
See museblogg? I left caps lock on for you! We love you museblogg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY! Happy birthday Museblog!!!! Didn’t we already have GAPA appreciation day? Or was that a thread? Not that the GAPAs don’t deserve another one of course. Everybody! For they are jolly good fellows, for they are jolly good fellows, for they are jolly good fe-ellllloooowwwsss…which nobody can deny, which nobody can deny…um i don’t know how many there are. You get the idea.
happy birthday museblog although I just joined three days ago
by the way what is the GAPA
36- The (G)reat (A)nd (P)owerful (A)dministrator (s)
Yay!
(27) Many thanks, Jadestone. I am honored.
“Robert the Wise” — I like the sound of that.
31-That was great, then!
Into the third year of life, huh? At this rate, there will be so many MBers…
27- Flamablamablous!!
Amazing ballad, it’s very true.
Thank you GAPAs!
Anybody who joins(ed) around this time will be coming in at a very grand point, if not a silk-pie one(throws another pie* who’s going to clean this all up? Oh, I almost forgot, I hired people to set up the party stuff…and clean it up…I knew it would be no fun cleaning up after a party!
*munchmunchapplepie* 
Let’s have a debate about what kind of pie is the best. Pumpkin pie is the best kind of pie because the stuff doesn’t fall out when it’s thrown/eaten.
I remember hearing once that if you had to live off one kind of food for a long time, pumpkin pie filling would be a good choice. Apparently it has almost all of the nutrients you need for the long haul. I haven’t checked that statement, so I probably shouldn’t repeat it. Still, it’s another point in pumpkin pie’s favor if it’s true.
45-w00t! I would probably get sick of it, though.
I heard potatoes do the same but lack calcium (though mashed potatoes would fix that).
Anyway, they’re not pie. That sounds interesting abbout pumpkin pie. But… it lacks choklit In order to survive off one food for the rest of yur life, there has to be choklit there to console you to this fact. Does pumpkin pie go with choklit? (I’ve never tried it, pumpkin pie that is).
I just like apple because it tastes good, and cherry and some others are a little too soggy/however you wish to put it. As I grow “older”, I more and more don’t enjoy very soft foods. Example: When I was younger (maybe just because of that), I liked thick frosting and very little cake. Now its the opposite. It’s odd…it even goes to sweet things like that…
45- Pumpkin isn’t my favorite.
Strawberry or Strawberry mango. Or silk.
47-Pumpkin pie goes with choklit ice cream.
that sounds weird
52-But again, remember, choklit tastes a lot different than chocolate…
36- If you had read the H2G2 you’d know that…
54- I think you mean HG2MB.
53- But it must go with both! Choklit covers everything, chocolate is the nicer expensive kind, and both are necessary for survival! (yes, yes they are. DOn’t look at me like that.)
56- That means I’m going to die, doesn’t it.
57- No, you get extra bonus life points for the 100 mile diet that makes up for the stuff you’re not having.
No, I am not confusing life with a vidio game! Sheesh.
55- Yes. Yes I did.
This has been an interesting conversation.
58- Good. I don’t want to die.
I actually haven’t started the diet yet, I’m waiting until after my birthday, so that I can have cake and spaghetti on my birthday, and because at this point we’re in the middle of moving, and there’s not a lot of time to sit down and think about it.
What diet? I hope you don’t die. Without MuseBloggers there would be no MuseBlog, *gasp* Oh the horror!!!!!!!!
Happy b-day MuseBlog, we love you!!!!!!!!
27~nice ballad, I like it! Now we need the tune that it goes to…..
Thanks heaps, *of pie* OEADs!! *pies with heaps of smart pies*
MUSEBLOG RULES FOREVER!!!!! yaaaaaaaaaay!
thank you GAPAs for creating the museblog. it has made my life visibly beter. i have met some awesome people. aw man im gonna star crying in a second. you guys are awesome *snif* i love you all. *SOB* dont ever change *BAWL* yes i actually DO love you that much. my life has filled with a new sense of belonging.
What does “pwns” mean?
“Pwns” is an online gamer’s slang word for “owns”. Have you been to the HG2MB yet?
65- It’s a joke. “Pwt owns and is awesome!” becomes “Pwt Owns” becomes “Pwt Pwns”.
Whoa…….was this my first day on the blog?
OH SHOOT.
Speaking of birthdays, I just remembered that my blogiversary was April 18th. Oh well.
2 years* and still blogging!
*2 years not including the inumerable breaks I took, especially the 6-month long one I took after my first 2 or 3 posts. But still, 2 years.
