A Quest for Randomness
I like to think of myself as a versatile gal with many skills and interests. Over time, I’ve realized that my diverse interests can actually make me come across as more “random” than “versatile.”
This observation became crystal clear when I perused pages of the key word searches that bring people to this blog. They are the very definition of random, yet each one aligns with the topics covered here, making me feel more random than ever.
These examples will help illustrate my point.
“chirping in my ear when I blow my nose”
Although I wrote about a horrible cold, mine did not include any ear chirping. Which is a a good thing, cause knowing how neurotic I can get, I probably would’ve convinced myself that a miniature bird was living in my ear.
“when will my bloated belly turn into baby belly”
This is a good question. I have to say, it’s great when people start realizing you’re pregnant instead of thinking you just stuffed yourself at the Chinese buffet the night before.
“go to guy caulking tips”
Are there really “guy” caulking tips? And how are they different from the go to “girl” caulking tips? Is it that the girl caulking tips involve sipping cosmos and watching reruns of Friends while caulking and the “guy” caulking tips encourage belching and wearing butt-crack revealing pants?
“hot tonight”
I don’t know if this person was commenting on the weather or making a statement about their sex life, but I can tell you my post about hotness are G rated.
“boy pregnant belly”
We all know I’ve been writing up a storm about pregnancy and pregnant bellies, but mine have all been related to girls being pregnant. I didn’t even mention that guy who is really a girl who got pregnant and was on Oprah.
“fe fi fo fum”
Of course I used this phrase. How else would I introduce a post about our electrician who is an Englishman?
“room made of coal”
When I blogged about having a coal room, I meant it was a room that originally held coal for our boiler, not that the room was actually constructed from coal.
“dust bowl for electrician”
Perhaps there really is a “dust bowl” that electricians need, but all I can think of is The Grapes Wrath and The Great Depression and why would I want that for my electrician?
“how far away to release trapped coon”
This, too, is a very good question. Based on my coon trapping experience, all I can tell you is that it should be past Hwy K on the other side of the freeway, near that nice wooded area.
“belong in the water”
I actually don’t understand this one, but it leads to this post on Behr’s Porpoise paint. Was this post really the best search result for this phrase?
“john madden, joey bag of doughnuts”
I don’t really talk about sports much here, seeing that the only exposure I have to them is thanks to my husband’s love of football and the Brewers. However, I did talk about my donut pajama pants, which involved a reference to Joey Bagga Donuts, the nickname of former Packer player Frank Winters.
As you can see, there are definitely some random people out there doing Google searches for random things. And it makes me quite happy that their randomness randomly brings them to my random blog. And maybe now if you do a search for “random,” it will lead my blog.
Aren't those fun? Mine are boring:-(
