Hiya.
So, I don't even know if anyone even noticed, but I've had my blog set on private for the past week. Because...I've been getting bajillions of page views from really spammy, shady sites. I know a lot of them are probably just spam bots that aren't even real people viewing my blog, but still...it's sort of upsetting, you know?
So I set it so only I could view it for a few days, took it off private, and the next day I had a bunch of views from the same site. Anddd I set it back to private...
Basically, I'm not sure where to go from here with my blog. I have a lot wrapped up in it...almost two years worth of posts and rants, confessions, experiences, etc...I don't really just want to leave it. But it isn't the greatest feeling to look at the blog stats and only see page views from blah sites.
Ya know?
So yeah. That's just kind of a heads up I guess. I may be quitting the blogging deal for a while and leaving it on private, or I may switch sites (even though I hate all the other ones) or I might just bite the bullet and keep using Blogger. I'll let ya'll (the real people who actually care and read this, that is) know in the next few weeks what the deal is :)
All of that aside! I figured I'd just post a quick update of what I'm up to, what I've been up to, etc.
In the past two weeks, I've:
Seen my best friends.
Stayed up late and slept in.
Stressed. Lots.
Caught up on all of my TV shows.
Taken two Tylenol PM and been knocked out for almost ten hours straight (this was today/last night...I may be up for a while...)
Missed people.
Not missed other people.
Shopped 'till I dropped. Haha...seriously though. We were exhausted. And then we went to the Nordstrom's cafe and only ordered lemonade and coffee...the conversation that ensued was pretty much:
"Wait, are we supposed to leave a tip?"
"Yeah, like 15 (now I know it's 20...) percent I think..."
"Oh..."
"That would only be...seventy cents."
"I'll leave a dollar."
Oddly enough, I think they were glad to see us leave...like, why though?
Listened to Scotty McCreery's album a countless amount of times. Basically...that's all I've listened to for a week straight.
Done a lot more but I think the Tylenol PM stole my memories, so...
Currently I am:
Sitting in my living room.
Listening to "Someone Like You" by Adele...for the third time in a row. This song never gets old.
Periodically glancing at the TV, which is on mute, and tuned to American Pickers on History Channel. I had to mute it because...well, they're at a clown museum. And it's sort of creeping me out.
Debating whether I should read The Hunger Games again or watch Dr. Who...like I said, I'm probably going to be up for a while.
Drinking Candy Cane Lane tea.
Trying to come up with another story idea. I actually have a few...but they're all falling flat.
Wondering how the "Someone Like You" video can be so emotional when it's just her walking around...well, nevermind.
Listening to Kyler England's "Alchemy"....seriously such a gorgeous song, both composition and lyrics.
Looking for something better to watch.
Contemplating again whether or not I should watch Dr. Who...
In the next week, I will...
Go back to school.
Die from sleep deprivation.
Go to the Dr.'s about my back (I will also just hem all of my pants legs from now on to prevent further occurrences like this one)
Take the placement test at the college.
Meet with an adviser at the college.
(Hopefully) register for math & science at the college.
Not want to go to the college.
Stress some more.
Pray some more.
And, again, (hopefully) decide what to do about this blog...
Okay, that's all for today...
Agh Blagh.
I'll talk to ya'll later.
;)
I got Adele 21 for Christmas from my nephew. Love it!! I also checked out Alchemy and agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI read on the Blogger forum that there were some Blogger spam problems. I use Akismet but then I use Word Press. Hope it gets worked out.
