Kevin Babbles: Kevin Babbles Turns Seven

Kevin Babbles turns 7 today. Seven! I never would have guessed back in 2005 that an activity I set up to keep my creative juices flowing would still be an everyday part of my life.

I apologize if I've been a bit neglectful of this blog as of late with fewer posts and seemingly less inspiration. Unlike when this blog started, so much of my time is now taken up by writing for work that it feels less like a "break" when I blog. That said, most of my employment has come either directly or indirectly from this blog, so I know I owe it a great deal of gratitude. I promise that I can't imagine kicking the blogging habit anytime soon, and I appreciate the readers who keep coming back to see what I'm babbling about... you help keep this fun.

Per blogiversary tradition, here are some of my favorite posts of the past year:

17. The time I contemplated being completely honest with my doctor

16. The time Melinda caught her niece engaging in an unsavory Christmas activity

15. The time I attended my first concert with my father and a pair of overly amorous lesbians

14. The time I had the best seat in the house

13. The time I was traumatized by the police's raid of Occupy Los Angeles's encampment

12. The time I used Facebook to solve a mystery… and destroy a relationship

11. The time my friend accidentally wrote a controversial abortion poem in middle school

10. The time I got you excited about Eurovision OR recapped the festivities

9. The time I learned the true definition of the word "cousin"

8. The time I channeled my inner Nicholas Sparks

7. The time I was appalled by my mother's sexist board game
