The Funky Brown Chick is No Longer a Virgin
Wow! Time flies. Believe it or not, tomorrow I’ll celebrate 365 days of blogging. Yep, the Funky Brown Chick turns “1” tomorrow. It will be my 265th post. If you’ve been reading along for a while, you’ve suffered and enjoyed a few “New York City Firsts” with me. There was my first post, first NYC date, first New Year’s Eve near Times Square, first Manhattan celebrity sighting, first MTA Transit Strike and a bunch of other firsts. Given that I’m a total attention whore who’s always up for a good party, I’m going to extend the “1-Year Birthday” throughout the entire week. I’ll post each of the following to celebrate the past year of the blog: (A) Best of the Funky Brown Chick; (B) Worst of the Funky Brown Chick; (C) The Original Funky Brown Chick Quiz—What You Should Have Learned About Stolie By Now; and (D) The Funky Brown Chick Delight—A Surprise Post. Please use the comment section below to let me know which you’d like to see first.

I discovered your blog this weekend. I have to tell you I absolutely love your blog and all the topics you cover. I have read every single post. I am seriously considering a move to nyc but the high rents and everything else are holding me back. If you have the time, check out my blog beautyinbaltimore@blogspot.com

The order you have them in now is great. You start with the best, confess to the worst and when people have a little background, you hit ‘em with a pop quiz! Of course, surprises are always more dramatic when delivered at the end. With a music sting: BUM BUM BUM BUUUUUUM!

Happy Bloggie Birthday!!! It’s been a wild year, huh? So fun to have it all documented, I’m sure!!
I’d like to see the quix first, but really, even I know that’s a good Friday post, so don’t listen to me. Do whatever your little heart desires – you’ve never let us down before. :o)

OH HAPPY DAY…
The order that you listed is my vote.

The Juice: Coming up!!! It won’t be tomorrow’s post but it’s coming soon.
channel: Yay!!! Welcome to the blog!! :) Glad you like it and I hope you stick around for a bit. If you’re considering a move to New York, I’d say: go for it. For all of the ups and downs and difficult times and crazy boys and other shit, it’s worth it. And, believe it or not, when you factor out the cost of rents, New York isn’t that much more expensive than other cities. So, really, the key seems to be to find an apartment that has low rent. This is something, I might add, that A LOT of people (self included) want. And, there are tons of Manhattan Refugees in Brooklyn and Queens.
lala: THANK YOU!!!
K: GRACIAS!!!
Howard: Looks like everyone followed your vote! :) Come up soon … complete with the BUM BUM BUM BUUUUUUM too!
AWE: OOOH!!! A poem!!! Thanks! :) And, I’m glad that you enjoy reading.
AmyD: Yeah, it’s been a CRAZY year. I hope the next one packs just as much fun but 1/2 the drama! :)
MamaChristy: THANKS. lady!!! :) Glad to you know you’re there for me no matter what I post.
Mel Chickk: THANKS!!
Pegs: Yeah, I blame it on birth order … I had a few years as one of the invisible middle children among four. I also had many difficult years as the only child in the house taking care of a very sick parent. BUT, the most formative years were my almost *TWO DECADES* of experience living as a youngest child in the house. I *KNOW* attention. I crave it. I love it. I spread it on bread and eat it up. :)
Jay: Babycakes, you’ve been out-voted. But, thanks for the vote!!! And, perhaps, if a few of my lurkers had showing up to vote, the outcome may had been different.
JohnJEnright: Oooh, *3* votes for “D” and all of the other votes for the order listed in the post. It’s those lurkers, man. They should have voted! :)
E: The (vocal) majority has spoken!

THANKS!!! :) And, who knows … maybe you’ll actually read my blog more than once per month next year. ;)
