(Heck, while writing this, I went to 2001. Uh. Just imagine I have 2k for a second)
What do I even say?
In 2000, I was 8 years old.
Last January I hit One Thousand followers. I was shocked. Baffled. Confused. And Honored. For someone who considered stopping after his pastebin hit 5k reads, seeing where I am right now still feels... shocking.
With the amount of words that's under my belt, the number of stories, most around me say that this was something that was just a matter of time. Heck, Regidar said to me that I'd have 2000 followers eventually. And I didn't believe him. And he was right.
So, here I am. I suppose I should say some words.
This hobby has always been fun for me. It's always been about enjoying myself. Not taking things seriously. Making people laugh. And having a good time. The fact that I wrote about my favorite pony turning into my favorite snack food proves to me that over the 4 years I've been writing, nothing's changed. I'm still having fun. Just more people are around to enjoy it.
Still, I can't say I don't feel honored that 2000 people clicked that little button to Follow me, saw the number of shitposts I make, saw the number of blogs I make, and STILL decide to endure my bad puns. I doubt that I'll ever reach something like the "top 50 most followed" on the site. Hell, most people wouldn't put me in a top 50 best writers on this site, even if I did. But the fact that I can make everyone laugh, do this silly podcast thing, meet cool people and do cool things? Well, it's all I need.
So, thank you. Thank you to each and every one of you who followed me. I hope I can continue to make you laugh, cry, smile, brighten your day, guess your fetish, or whatever I decide to do for even longer. (Putting off Office Love not being on that list)
The last few times, I did really long extended lists to explain who I need to think, or do a retrospective on all the stories I've written. People have asked me if I have anything special for 2k followers.
To be honest. I have nothing. I genuinely didn't think this would happen.
So. Uh. Thank you. Maybe I'll do something separate that's a special celebration story? But right now? I'm just more taken aback than anything. Thank you.
Most importantly, if there is one single solitary person I could thank right now, take this special moment to really appreciate and genuinely give a shout out: It would have to be Anonpencil. Nobody else could kick my ass as hard to be a better writer, remind me that I need to write Office Love, challenge my thought processes, and teach me about the craft of writing on top of being the best girlfriend in the world 
. Without her, I don't think I would be this far. I don't think I would have ever gotten as far as I have in real writing either.
Just. Thank you guys. Really. I only wish I had more to give.

There. I unfollowed you for a second so that people could see the glory.
You’re welcome.
Congratulations buddy! Give it another year, and you'll have 3,000 followers, two years tops!
Priest, you're awesome! I just have one question: are you saying Anonpencil is a girl?
I popped your 2K cherry. You're welcome, Priest.
Congratz on 2k.
Super gay bro.
Office love when?
Well, someone's getting drunk tomorrow!
But seriously, congratulations Priest. Your writing has produced many laughs from me and has given me a great deal of enjoyment over the several months I have been following you. You deserve this milestone.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY.....
Thank YOU. And thank you specifically for mentioning Office Love... thus hopefully not forgetting about it.
You do.
