I know who you are, sort of

Since I let the cat out of the bag a few days ago that I know who's reading this blog (in an anonymized sense, with locations and search terms, but not actual names or anything, unless it's so obvious to me who you are by the town you live in), I thought I might as well go all the way and talk about who is reading this blog. From what I can tell, there are three groups of people.

1. A whole mess of people who live in Athens. Or else one person who is very obsessed with me and looks at it 50 times a day, but I prefer to believe the former! Anyway, if you live in Athens, don't worry. You're hidden among a whole sea of people and I'll never know exactly who you are unless you tell me, which I sometimes wish some of you would. Especially if you're very cute and nice and single.

2. People that I knew in the past. Some of these, like I said, are obvious because of the city. I only know one person in Thief River Falls, and it's my ex-husband. (Hi!) Others I just know have to be someone I know, but I haven't figured it out yet. At any rate, if you are one of those people, you don't have to be shy about it. You could actually say something to me one of these days. I don't bite.

3. A whole bunch of really confused people that find me by searching Google and Technorati. Sometimes I can tell what they're looking for, and sometimes their search terms just baffle me. (Like "darkly stuffed animals," for instance.) The posts that actually get found by people on purpose are the ones where I talk about watching TV online. That series is very, very popular, and I'm glad to know I've done something worthwhile with my life, even if it was only helping people figure out how better to waste time.

Other people are looking for something and put the phrase in without quotes and so get a false hit on my site. I once called a post Return to Mayberry, for instance. I was being deeply ironic, but apparently a lot of people are looking for that movie available to watch online, and so they keep hitting on my site because it contains all those keywords. Sorry, but I don't know where you can find that online, but you're in a large group of people who are looking for it! I do, however, know where you can find Magnum, P.I., online, which is another thing people look for: Netflix Instant Watching. I don't know anyplace that has it for free as of this instant.

There have also been a lot of people searching for "sweet vu" and finding my site because I once quoted a Bee Gees song with "sweet deja vu" in the lyrics. I finally Googled Sweet Vu and was disgusted to find that it's a porn site. Yuck! I hope you guys don't leave too much of a mess while you're here, but I can guarantee there's nothing you want to look at, no matter what the filtering software people might think.

Well, there you have it. That's my audience for what it's worth. Oh, one other thing I've figured out: there must be 6 of you who subscribe to the RSS feed for this site, because on days that I post something new here, I always have exactly 6 hits. I'm a pretty good logician, huh?
