There are days like today, when I’m just itching to write because it means that I’ll get five minutes to put my thoughts together.  Unfortunately, my thoughts don’t amount to much today, so I struggle with the internal battle of “write crap? or just refrain from writing?”.  Clearly, I’ve made that choice.

I worry that a lot of my writing is mere drivel, stuff that doesn’t mean a hill of beans and won’t change the world any time soon.  But on a day like today, I simply need to look at my referral list to see what kind of search words brought people to my gate.

Though some readers visit search engines and type in the phrase “the + anvil + tree” to get here (just bookmark me, people!), there are some other interesting turns that will show up in my statistics.  Today, for instance, the search words below have brought readers to my doorstep:

• “lumpy vagina”
• “autistic animals”
• “flea bites” (this is my all-time number one referral)
• “ap day” (no clue)
• and “fat labias”

I’m hoping the last one is an unfortunate coincidence and someone was trying to find the website of a band that they follow. (Because isn’t that an awesome band name?  Fat Labias?  I would SO buy their shirts.)

But I look at that varied list and think, “You know, if people find their way here because I offered them everything from autistic animals to lumpy vaginas, I must be doing something right.”
