READ ME. THIS IS AWESOME.

originally i came on my blog because i am having writers block on my 10 page research paper due in 2 days. So the logical remedy for me is nonsensical writing about things in my life. it loosens the creative juices, apparently.

my topic was going to be on grammatical errors of the general public and how much not only they themselves piss me off, but how people who obsessviely correct them piss me off, too. but then something sort of awesome happened. (i say sort of awesome because im not entirely sure if this information is truly as cool as im about to make it sound)

so as i was logging into my account, i noticed the format had changed. not surprising because my last post was in january and thus i am out of the blogspot loop. those of you who know me or think you know me, might already be aware of the fact that i am not....how you say.. good..?...at change. so i was not very thrilled about the whole thing. but of course, like facebook and other conforming social sites, you have absolutely no choice in the layout of the program.

ANYWAYS, this post pretty much all boils down to what happened next. so, like, stop skimming and actually pay attention now.

the new layout features a section entitled, "stats." ...well i think its called that. seems legit. anyways...
"Stats" is all about the history of your blog and views and followers and posts and all the usual stuff. but now, i can see how many people have viewed my blog in the last days, weeks, months, and years its been alive.  guys.. guess how many total views my blog has gotten????

1,591! needless to say my mind was and still is pretty much blown. and i also feel special. :)
now i am kind of in love with that number. so i did some research....

1,591 is the U.s. code prohibbiting Sex trafficing of children. (score!)
1-591 is part of the area code for Bolivia
1591 is the number of weeks old you are if you are approximately 30.5 years old.
1591 is the number of times the word "the" was said in the movie Benjamin Button.

also, there is a section of stats that has a world map and it shows the places that my blog has been read. Welllllllll guess what?!! i have fans in Alaska! :) so.. Alaskans, by all means, message or comment. send me some snow or some sled dogs or something. that'd be awesome.
