the other day, someone at my school found my blog. I know that b/c of my little sitemeter doohickey. seeing the post immediately prior to this one, you may see that it kind of freaked me out. who was it? did they know it was me? [highly likely, since so few of us have children, and even fewer have children the ages of mine .... I know someone with a 3 year old, and someone with an 18 year old.]

Today I checked my little sitemeter, and at that time, I had 12 visits for the day, but 58 page views. That is very unusual for me. 58 page views? So I looked, and saw that one person had viewed 45 entries. what the hell? did they have nothing better to do with their day? Then I saw they were from McLean, Virginia. Beloved and I were laughing about what could possibly be there, and I said I thought there were gov't entities in McLean, but couldn't remember what, so I looked it up.

Oh, no big deal. Just the CIA.

pfft, and i was worried about future employers? ha!!

Also - has anyone heard of this "Umbria Listens" company? They seem to troll the blogs out there to find out what "people are saying" about a product or an issue. I guess companies pay them to create these "reports" about what is being said, and who is saying it (demographics, not addresses and phone numbers). A few people have been to my site from these reports. The concept is pretty interesting. I suppose it was just a matter of time, but yet it makes sense in this ingenious kind of way.

y'know, i'm sorta wondering about the connection between those hits you're getting from the CIA and your truthlaidbear classification. could it be a cover?

then again, once you progress up the gene pool the larger predators are going to start noticing you anyway...
