Today marks 5 years of animoller.com. On one hand I find this quite an odd occasion; on the other, I find it stupid seeing how I’ve had a stupid personal website on various other hosts and random do/ma/in/~names since 1998. However. To mark this absolutely and truly momentous occasion I have compiled a list of made-up statistics:
- 23,000,000,001 million hits
- 5,001 user accounts
- 49,001 insightful articles
- Plus other made-up statistics too
I have posted:
- About an annoying ex-workmate with a gigantic hairy mole on her cheek, which almost got me dooced before the term was even coined
- About a nutty ex-flatmate who kicked me out because I didn’t inform her the night before of my late shower before work and because I watched her television without thanking her for being so kind as to let me watch one of her two televisions which was in the lounge, whom I never heard from again, thank God
- Obnoxious goth poetry involving words such as “angst” and “blackened heart”; thankfully, I started wearing colour again before I killed myself for being such a fucking twat
- About politics. Twice. Can’t say if there’ll be a third time, unless I turn off commenting.
- A slagging off about girls on the Internet, because I am full of enmity
- A retarded Apple Switch parody, which is sadly my biggest claim to Internet fame to date and probably forever
- About Lindsay Lohan. Worst mistake ever.
- About breaking a nail on October 11, 1999
Since uploading my first post, I have:
- Moved from Microsoft Publisher, to Dreamweaver, to Notepad, to Adobe PageMill, to Blogger, to Organizine, to a custom CMS, to TextPattern
- Grown from an angsty 18-year-old goth to a grumpy 25-year-old
- Had a terrible total of four long-distance relationships, not all due to the Internet; each time telling myself “that’s the last time I’ll be doing that!”
- Left New Zealand and moved to Texas with my burly American fiancé, then husband, then ex-husband
- Travelled lots. Like, quite a bit really.
- Made one friend. His name was Harold, and he only showed up when no one else was around. Sadly, he died in a tragic wheelbarrow accident.
- Become painfully unfunny in my old age
- Invented the Internet. Or Bob Dole. Actually, I think I invented Bob Dole.
In conclusion, happy 5th domain registration birthday. I wonder how many more there will be, and will I be getting a cake?
WOO Congrats. Sad thing I’ve only been reading your site for, like, not half a year, but it was enjoyable!
So yeah, another five then?
confetti Wheeee! confetti
I did like that switcher parody, I even think that was what first got me to your site. I see you are hiding it in a dark cave with a stone in front of the entrance, but I found it anyway

So that got me here. What made me stay was the infamous “Ani vs the weather”, I guess.
Keep it up!
i have always been a fan of the one where ani runs around the back yard in texas getting all sweaty and bitching about the heat.
that was great.
If you was in Wellington I’d buy you cake and coffee and say thanks for the writing.
Treat yourself!
seeing as we’re re-capping, remember that one email i sent you defending that one person? well you were SO TOTALLY RIGHT.
No, I don’t, but by golly I am going to try and find it from the archives! Although, I have a feeling that it could be the reason why we stopped talking to each other? Girls, eh.
Loved to been part of the ride, at least for the last three years or so…
heh, I KNEW you invented the internet. Get Al Gore on the phone!
Congrats on the ani Ani. Had a Q about your photography, Do you do all digital? What kind of camera do you use?
I wish I hadn’t just read all that lohan shite.
Happy 5th domain day!
[OMG] you didn’t mention Pea in there! [FACT]
Thank you very much for the card!
i remember that video of you running around your backyard, wiping the sweat from your upper lip! that was wonderful. A FINE MOMENT IN THE LIFE OF THE INTERNET.
Nice. Got to watch out for those blackened hearts. Is this the end or just the beginning?
No cake for you, dumb bitch!
Hey, Congrats! I’ve actually only been on this website for about a week or two! And i think it is really fun. I read the lindsay lohan site and i can’t say i loved reading all that crap. Well, hopefully someone will send you a cake!!!
