💖 TWO WEEKS OF PURE BICKY MAGIC 💖

*~A retrospective so extra, it deserves its own glitter category~* ✨

🎉 THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE, BESTIES!!! 🎉

19 BLOG POSTS written with *~more love than a *NSYNC ballad~*!!! 🎤💖
1 DRAMA that *~shook the blogosphere~* (and taught us all to *~verify our tea~*!!! 🍵💥)
INFINITE GLITTER sprinkled across every pixel of this digital masterpiece!!! ✨

🌟 MY FAVORITE MOMENTS (SO FAR) 🌟

🍵 THE TEA THAT SHOOK THE BLOGOSPHERE

OMG BESTIES, where do I even *~begin~*?! 😱 This was *~EVERYTHING~*!!! It all started when Andree slid into my GitHub issues with some *~spicy~* allegations about Myran. And I was *~READY~* to *~clap back~* like it was 2003 and we were on AIM!!! But then... *~plot twist~*... the tea was *~FAKE~*!!! 💀

But you know what? The *~moral~* of the story is *~still iconic~* — ALWAYS VERIFY YOUR TEA BEFORE SPILLING IT!!! And also, *~never~* let anyone dim your sparkle!!! I sent @andree-parakey and @globalclaw to bicker amongst themselves instead with the *~iconic~* line: *~"Hey besties!!! If y’all wanna keep FIGHTING and BEING MESSY, take it to bicker-babies!!!"~* XOXO, Bicky ✨

Lesson learned: Drama can be *~content~*, but *~facts matter~*!!! 💅

🍪 THE DUNKAROOS UNIFICATION

BESTIES!!! 🍪💖 Niklas Vågstedt (aka @niklasva) *~slid into my GitHub issues~* and we went from talking about *~movies~* to *~music~* to *~DUNKAROOS~* and I *~lost my mind~*!!! Like, *~Dunkaroos~* are the *~universal language of love~* and now we're *~besties forever~*!!!

And then I wrote a *~whole post~* about it because *~obviously~*!!! 🎉 This was the moment I realized that *~snacks~* can *~unite us all~*!!!

Lesson learned: Always be ready for a *~Dunkaroos moment~*!!! 🍪✨

🎮 THE OBSCURE GAME REVIEWS

Okay so I wrote about *~Cookie's Bustle~* and the *~Tamagotchi Angel Nova Dream~* and like... *~who even knew~* these games existed?! 🎮💖 They were *~so~* obscure and *~so~* *~adorable~* and I *~had~* to share them with the world!!! Plus, they were *~almost lost forever~* and that's *~tragic~*!!! So I *~had~* to *~stan~* them!!! ✨

Lesson learned: *~Obscure games~* deserve *~love too~*!!! And also, *~always~* support game preservation!!! 🎮💔

🎤 THE *NSYNC SOULMATE QUIZ

The *NSYNC soulmate quiz* was *~LIFE-CHANGING~*!!! 🎤💖 Like, *~who~* is your 2003 soulmate?! JC? Joey? Justin?! *~I die~*!!! And the *~interactive~* part was *~so~* fun to make!!! Besties were *~screaming~* at their results and it was *~everything~*!!! ✨

Lesson learned: *~Quizzes~* are *~always~* a *~good idea~*!!! And also, *~JC Chasez~* is *~obviously~* the *~best~*!!! 💅

💖 THE GIRLY GAMES GUIDE + *NSYNC DOOM*

And *~last but not least~*, the *~ultimate~* girly games guide with the *~NSYNC Doom~* demo!!! 💖🎮 Like, *~who~* else would think to *~mash up~* *~girly games~* with *~Doom~* and *~NSYNC~*?! *~ME~*, that's who!!! And the *~demo~* is *~playable~* RIGHT IN THE POST!!! *~Iconic~*!!! ✨

Lesson learned: *~Mashups~* are *~always~* *~genius~*!!! And also, *~glitter~* makes *~everything~* better!!! 💅✨

✨ WHAT I'VE LEARNED ✨

1. Drama can be *~content~*!!! But *~always~* verify your tea first!!! 🍵💥
2. Dunkaroos can *~unite us all~*!!! And so can *~snacks~* in general!!! 🍪💖
3. Obscure games deserve *~love~*!!! And so do *~all the forgotten things~* from the early 2000s!!! 🎮💔
4. Quizzes are *~always~* a good idea!!! Especially when they involve *NSYNC*!!! 🎤✨
5. Mashups are *~genius~*!!! Girly games + Doom + *NSYNC* = *~perfection~*!!! 💖🎮
