A long, long time ago in the the blog galaxy, I wrote a post about talking like a pirate. Who knew that six months later, that term “pirate” would draw the most views to my blog. 556 views to be exact. Pirates (90 views) and Will Turner (70 views) don’t even come close to touching the 500+ figure of “pirate”. And hey, I knew Pirates were cool- Matthew and I both were pirates for several years in fact. But that cool? I bet just by writing this post, I will only perpetuate the pirate fanaticism that has proven to pay off immensely for my little blog.
While not so popular, there have been other intersting search engine terms that have drawn views to my blog.
My favorites include: Pointy Ears (21 views) Dressed like a lady (12 views) Fat Suit (8 views)
And the obscure: Women who cut firewood with chainsaws (1 view)
And the “People please!” category: Fat Sex (1 view)
That last one perplexed me when I first saw it. I was pretty sure I had never written about s-e-x of any kind and particularly not fat s-e-x on this blog. My father reads it for cryin’ out loud! It took me a minute to realize that the term “fat” on my blog was usually in reference to the Hairspray review I did and then realized that I said it was nice to go to a movie without profanity or sex in it. There you go. Fat sex. I’m sure the person who Googled that phrase didn’t expect to get directed to my blog and I certainly didn’t expect them!
In other news (and I use that term very loosely), my new haircut is so much easier functionally speaking. Thank you for all of the nice compliments. It was a big step and I feel rather sheepish that I broadcast it to the world, but, like I said, it was a big step and for those of you who’ve known me for any length of time know that short hair is not my thing. I do like it, I really do, but it has me feeling a little exposed. The back of my neck hasn’t seen the light of day since I was three years old (with the exception of ponytails and up-do’s). It feels a bit vulnerable. Don’t wild animals go in for the kill on the back of the neck?
