Blogging About Blogging



Okay, so first of all, apparently I was added to a site called Student Bloggers. This site was started in an effort to connect student bloggers together, and categorize them by college. I think this is a brilliant idea, as it will allow students looking at prospective colleges access to a list of blogs written by students from the particular college they're interested in. That said, however, I'm not sure my blog should be read by someone looking to attend my college. I mean, I'm a tour guide, so I do heartily endorse my school, as I've loved my time here, but there's also a great deal of bitching and exposure to debauchery that I'm not sure college admissions would like exposed. Like how they LOST MY [work study] PAYCHECK this week, for example. Damnnnnnn, I need to get paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid.

Whatever. If you're looking for a college, my advice to is if you're touring the school on a Saturday or Sunday morning, get close enough to the tour guide to smell them. Because every tour I've ever given on Saturday and Sunday mornings have been given while I was either hungover or still drunk, and most often, unshowered, in the same clothes I wore out the night before. I know, I'm really classy.

Let's switch gears.

I actually took this idea from an old blog that
Tina had written. There are a lot of advantages to having blog trafficking software. I can pretty much find out anything about anyone who comes to my blog via the software, but I usually don't pay attention to that. What I do pay attention to is how people arrive at my blog. A lot of my hits, believe it or not, are through random Google searches that random people do. Here are my favorites:

5. "Jamaican Ganja"
4. "Ellen Degeneres Hairstyle"
3. "Jamaican Lesbo"
2. "Poughkeepsie Hookers"
1. "Amanda [MyLastName] is a bitch"

Of course, the last one is my favorite. I mean, come on, isn't it fantastically ironic that you search my name along with "is a bitch" and get directed to my blog? At the very least you should be directed to my hate site.

Wait, I don't have a hate site? I guess it's only a matter of time.

    LOL. I loved getting this info back in the day on our old blog The Normal LIfe. At our high point we used to generate over 100 unique visitor's a day. The best search that ever got our blog was something about Beer Pong in womens underwear. Try to figure that one out...

    I'm glad you like the site! The bitching and debauchery is the most important part. I actually went to Marist too for undergrad ('05) and remember the tour guides giving us insights into the bars and parties once our parents went elsewhere. It was the best part of orientation.

    kari: there will be a blog in the near future titled "had some laughs, killed some time".. or maybe we should just go ahead with our tattoo idea...

    alex: that's awesome that you went to Marist- I really like the site.

    tina: I know, I really wish they would provide their names.

    melissa: I mean, yeah, a bitch could describe me, but googling that? really? ooook.
