I finished my Halloween slideshow this morning. I think our party was pretty cool this year, and I'm proud that every single person who showed up had at least made some sort of effort to be in costume. I missed getting pictures of a few people because I didn't take out my camera until later on, but well...I'm sure I'll get pictures of you at another party sometime down the line.
Also, I looked back at the history of search words people have found my site with for the last 12 months, and compiled a list consisting of the words that I thought were the most interesting. I'm now going to list them and also talk about them. I WAS just going to list them, but I left my knitting stuff in the car last night and Brett took the car to work, so I have nothing else to do right now.
cat (# of requests: 1,453) and jackson (1,161)
I'm surprised that these are so far ahead of all the other terms. Even surpassing words like "of" and "a" (which I wish didn't even get counted anyway). I guess maybe it's because if someone is actually going to follow the link to my site, they're probably looking for me. I'm sure there were plenty of people who only searched for "cat" or "jackson", but there's not that big of a difference between the number of hits each of them has lead to, which makes me think that more often than not people are searching for both at once.
test (596)
Maybe they're looking for tests to take? This theory is only made stronger by the fact that people also pull me up with gay (166), purity (154), iq (138), personality (92), and insanity (10).
body (138) and modification (138)
Often when I see search words that have exactly the same number of hits associated with them, I say to myself, "self, people were searching for those words *together*. So 138 people were probably really disappointed when they came across my site, because I've posted nothing what so ever about scarification, PA's, butterflying, lobe stretchers, or any of the rest of the stuff they were probably hoping to see. (ha, now my site is going to come up when someone searches for *those* words.)
pronunciation (121)
So you're looking for pronunciations. Looking at the other search words, I'm guessing you want to know how to say either L'Occitane (76) (lah-sit-ann), or Bvlgari (55) (bul-gah-ree), so there you go.
bitch (90)
Why would anyone search only for the word "bitch"? I'm sure they were looking for it in combination with other words, but I hope those other words weren't "cat" and "jackson" or else...well...I just won't like them very much.
tickle (69)
These people were probably looking for other people's quiz results from tests on Tickle. Mine are posted in my "online quiz scores" section.
Brett (60)
Brett is the coolest ever. I'm frankly shocked that people haven't pulled me up by his name more often. Or maybe it's just that they usually go to his Brogg instead.
goth (56)
I'm a little "pink goth," but mostly I'm just pink. So if you're looking for a Circe Nightshade, you've followed the wrong rabbit.
sexual (55)
perv.
robertsmithofthecure (55)
weird...I hope this "word" is unrelated to the people who searched for "sexual". I think it's funny how many people search for this as one word, just as i typed it. it's fun to always say his name like that..."robertsmithofthecure"...rather than just "Robert Smith" or "Robert Smith, you know...of The Cure." Ah, girlhood crushes...how I love to make fun of you now that I'm grown....
pee (52) and smell (52)
Ew...why? Yuck...
fear (48) and water (48) and dark (48)
It's nice to see that so many other people have the sense to be afraid of dark water. It's also nice to see that people might have problems with celery (17) making their tongue (17) numb (17) and might have a vomit (6) phobia (6).
wwu (42) and porn (42)
Hmmm...to see what someone might pull up with those two words used together, I did a quick google and was shocked to see 3,310 search results come up. None of which (on the first page at least) appeared to have anything to do with porn.
pootie (31) and tang (31)
Kappa chow, my damies. Kappa chow.
me10 (23)
Now. I can understand how I had one hit for dogcowtattoo because really, every once in a while someone searches for something really off the wall (I still don't know how that pulled up my site though). But *23* hits for "me10"? Who's searching for this? Is it the name of a band or something?
After seeing best (1) in (1) show (1) busybee (1), and think (64) I (178) have (64) a (93) chance (64) with (64) this (64) guy (65), I decided to see if Awstats, the new web stats program my server has listed keeps track of search phrases, because I'm tired of this single word stuff. It looks like it's only been recording data on my site for about a month now, but here are the phrases it's caught so far:
brainteaser test tickle 30 out of 30 Two people in the last month have pulled me up with this, so I feel I have to address it. If you got 29 out of 30, and you KNOW you got EVERYTHING right, you did. I took this quiz and freaked out, because I wasn't guessing; I knew I'd gotten everything right, and they gave me 29/30. So I figured THEY must've done something wrong, so I went back, and by process of elimination, figured out which answer those morons at Tickle got wrong. Question 29, which asks "Which picture completes the analogy?" and then shows X:IX (with the IX turned clockwise, 90 degrees) and then Y:? expects the correct anser to be "it's impossible to know." This is incorrect however, because if you measure the...white space? v shapes? I don't know what they're called. Anyway, if you measure the spaces at the top and bottom of the X's (which you can totally do without the aid of a ruler...it's really f'ing obvious), your answer will be IY turned clockwise 90 degrees, because duh, that's the RIGHT answer. So that's how I got 30/30; I figured out what they did wrong.
the spark gay test If you're unsure of your gayness, you're probably not all the way gay. But also not all the way straight. Your sexuality is "complicated."
jell-o the cat who lived in a mcdonalds parking lot This sounds like it could make for such a sad story...
intuitive interpreter iq
thinking style intuitive interpreter These two seem to go together...I'm an "intuitive interpreter" and I guess I have a pretty decent IQ. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of room in this world for you to be a raging idiot, even if your "thinking style" is similar to my own.
what does smoking do to the smoker s finger s skin and nails I think it makes them yellow. Oh, and they smell like ashtray.
cat blisters on stomach Ew...poor kitties...
tickle sex Tickle sex?
song lyrics i think i have a chance with this guy What's-Her-Face rocks my socks off.
windermere blog Who would blog about a real estate company? Even if it is the greatest real estate company on Earth.
cinema product reviews makeupalley all Yay! Makeupalley! I've never hear of a beauty product called cinema though...
spark gay test Aw...poor confused anonovisitor. See the response for "the spark gay test."
match cat zodiac Um...yeah. I have no idea.
tickle super iq test score My score is 141 and I'm, as I stated before, an "Intuitive Interpreter."
7-up up yours Ha...I still wear this shirt. You're just as outdated as me!
cat in shower picture I'm assuming this person was looking for an actual feline in the shower, which is good, because there's a picture of Sasha in my shower somewhere in the archives from last spring I think.
i think i have a chance with this guy lyrics And again...What's-Her-Face, and everyone else at Homestar Runner, rocks my freaking socks off.
toms of maine abortion Ugh...I hope they're not pro-birth...let's take a look through google...okay, according to their FAQs their company is taking a neutral stand on this issue, which also means do not donate to any organizations that are either pro-choice, or pro-birth. I still don't like their toothpaste though.
Okay, so that's everything for this hideously long post...have a good night, I'm going to eat dinner.
