Do YOU know what today is??? It’s fourth year anniversary of SC :)

The site was created June 30, 2005. I was 15 at the time. Now I’m 19. Boy how times flies…

Through all the drama, endless debates through my comment section, the updates, the contests, and all those youtube videos….I’m happy to say that while not every decision I made might have been the best decision, it’s got me to where I am now. And at the time it seemed like a pretty dang cool decision so you know maybe it was the best one HAAAAAAAAAA in your face :D

Oops. Seriousness….

Thanks to all the veteran visitors (and even the rookies!) of swimchick, since I am NOW off school I hope to be able to update some more and change this stupid layout. Getting on my nerves.

Man I really just ruin the whole serious vibe hahaha can’t help it.

Anyway, to all the commenters, what has been your favorite swimchick moment?

Comments

OMG!!!
i remember coming on here back during the NEOPETS age. you’ve always had the most gorgeous layouts and perfect content!!
your tutorials have taught me like at least 70-80% of what I know now!!!

KEEP IT UP!!
without swimchick; id be a suckish ametuer graphic person.

Happy anniversary! If you have screen shots or old graphics throughout the years, you should post them in a blog to sort of create a visual time line to see how the site has grown :D My favourite Swimchick moment(s) are the changing of the layouts :P Haha I don’t care if that doesn’t count xD

Happy anniversary!! My favorite Swimchick moment was the first time I visited this site. I was a (pretty sucky) designer at ldesigns.e-fans.net and I was like 10 years old (I’m 12 1/2 now). The first blog I read of yours was something about Lysol spray and it made me laugh so hard. I think you were like afraid of someone Lysol-ing you at night or something? Haha =] I’m not completely sure abou the rest but I remember that much.

Happy Anniversary birthday thingy! :D
Ive been following your stuff for like two years, and wow I cant pick a fave SC moment! there are soo many, you’re just so hilarious :P but the best were usually the ones involving your family, esp Lisa! I am a Youtube addict and like used to go through all of your vids when i was bored.

Wow, I sound like a stalker. anyways SC is like amazing KEEP IT UP!! hahah.

Congratulations ! Happy birthday Swimchickk ! Good thing SC wasn’t born on February 29th! It’d technically only be 1.25 years old [ ;

I don’t think I have a favorite Swimchick moment. I always enjoyed your comment conversations with your neighbor ..Ali Ayoub ? Don’t remember his name ] ;

Ah, yes – anything with Ali was quite hilarious. I miss that guy!

LOL.Happy Anniversary!
Bonne Anniversaire! Bonne Anniversaire!Bonne Anniversaire!(maybe that was too much )
I remember the time,on April Fool’s day,when you and Katya set up this whole “we hate each other coz they’re copiers” act,I know I totally fell for it. The first tine I visited was two years ago,and the site looked so different then-it was all cyan and white and had a sidebar with your bio and stuff on it.(Later you wrote an article on how unimaginitive that is. :p)

i remember when you lisa cut her own hair and you changed her computer screen to a picture of a chinese todeler.

about a year after sc started i started with the tutorials, and then i remember about 6 months of coming back for just tutorials i read one of your blogs and died laughing, and i read 36 of the previous ones then and there.

i have alot of spare time :|

there has been so many memories. I’ve been on swimchick since 2-3 years ago and stopped going here but now, I’m back again.

Happy birthday to SwimChick and congratulations to you for keeping this site up! :D

Keep up the great work; I ♥ this site. :)

For some weird reason, I haven’t read about you or Katherine yet, so today I decided to:

“I’m Jessica. Middle name’s Rodina, born September 25th, 1989 in Detroit, Michigan.”

I was born on September the 25th, 1996. :D
We share the same birthday, haha. (:

Happy Anniversary SC!
My most memorable moment was probably when I actually won some advertising on this site! Ha or that time when u wrote that review on Kat’s site and i didn’t agree with parts and then u and i got into a discussion abt it…what was funny was that i got like a million hits that day lmao

Dang! I wish we would have done this on your webchat thingy-like you sometimes do. =D Well-happy anniversary swim chick! :D

my favorite times were when you did the webchat. they were really funny and cute! =DD

Happy Anniversary!
Wow, I can’t believe it’s been that long.
I’d have to say I loved that video you made with your neighbor Ali – when he pretended to be a guy who accidentally called the wrong number.
I always wondered if you made a sequel for that. :)

Happy Anniversary!!!
I still remember when you were hosted at Bruised Heart, I think it was, and you weren’t even sure about getting your own domain.
Man, it’s been such a looooong time, haha.

Happy Birthday SC! Wow, the Neopets era seems so long ago :) My favourite memories are of previous layouts and tutorials and definitely a few debates and dramas! It’s a shame that when you switched to your new system your old archives vanished :( Would have been funny to look at the old stuff!

I liked when that one kid stole your stuff two times.

I remember coming here years ago…around the time when the site first opened :) But i’d have to say the most memorable comment of yours (from last year..or a year before) was when something went on fire and you tried to put it out and then you said “well now you know who to call if there’s a fire…fire fighters” or something like that…I don’t know why but I found that really memorable :D

Keep up the great work btw

I remember being your friend on Neopets and you were just opening your site. I also remember when you had the forum going and I was a moderator ;) Thanks for keeping this site alive. Although I do not do anything related to graphic designing, I like reading your blogs about your life and family. It keeps me entertained. Happy birthday !
