this one's for Dave Hewitt

He's the one who still wanted Sam Johnson's Goth Girl Blog Day to exist, years ago.

He's the one I wrote the post for last month, mistakenly, when I misremembered which day of which month the event occurs on.

That's a reflection of how long it's been since I was inspired to post a GGBD entry.

For the record, the marking of GGBD is, and has always been since its creation, on February 25.

Here's one from my stash, about the Goth Girl and her black diamond dream.

Feel free to look for others about her.

So... I've spent an hour or so going down rabbit holes on Sam's archived blog.
The origin of Goth Girl Blog Day seems to be February 2005.

It then appears in 2006, despite his talk of not being a Goth Girl.

Also in 2007:

Plus 2008, which he said would be his last:

And that it was, as he doesn't even mention GGBD in 2009.

So, that's four years for him.
I did five annual GGBD posts, starting in 2010, until the one last month.

I'm not saying there won't be other posts to celebrate her special day, but I'm not saying there will be, either.
