Happy Valentine's Day

I hate this holiday. I'll post about why later....I have other things to talk about now.

Oh my God, you guys, I am so sick. I had a friend pick up Gatorade and Jell-O for me. She also brought over candied coconut, Vietnamese teas and noodles, and I don't even know what else. One of the guys on my floor is out getting me spoons and chicken noodle soup.

I should go to health services but I don't know if they're open. See, campus is actually closed today due to the snow. Health services is closed on weekends (they're stupid like that) so I don't know if they're considered "emergency" enough to be open. I don't have the energy to go to health services and then come back up three flights of stairs to get to my room without resting in between.
Now, before you rail on the complete stupidity of that (which, yes, it is completely stupid) I'd like to point out that we're two miles away from a professional medical facility. If you're in that rough shape, you go there.

Anyways, enough about that...let's talk about important stuff: my blog!!
I was looking at my Feedburner today...I have 16 subscribers, and only 5 of them are bots! Exciting!!!
I checked out the google searches leading to this blog. Sadly, none of them are bizarre or funny or weird. I'm so disappointed. I mean, Paul at least gets stuff about peeing and athlete's foot on his blog! I get "buttprints in the sands of time", which would be entertaining if I hadn't used that phrase.
I'm getting an average of 11 return visitors every day according to ActiveMeter. You know what that means? You like me, you really like me! I'm averaging about 90 page loads every day too (but at least 20 of those are me. :P)

So, I took this little ego boost of information and registered my blog on Best Gay Blogs.
It asked me if I had a logo. I don't. I know how to make or edit pictures. I'm prob'ly the least tech-savvy out of all of the bloggers on the 'sphere. Which is sad because I'm among the youngest, and shouldn't I be techier than you guys? Yeah, I should.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone wanted to make a logo for me? Pwease? :D

Awww... Kendall called you pookie! Funny thing about BGB, (if you're up for a story, that is...) I thought they listed you in their blogroll after they'd noticed your blog. Here I had been blogging for a year and couldn't figure out why in the heck they had never seen my blog. I had just about given up and decided that their criteria for a "best" gay blog was just too stringent for me to meet, when a blogger friend told me I had to register.

I am now over there, although I'm a bit embarassed that I didn't know about the registering thing.

One way to increase your blog's traffic is to leave witty remarks on a popular blog like the Great Cock Hunt, or Completely Naked, or Aussielicious, or Joe.My.God. That will attract visitors to your blog. Do it when you have an interesting post up for folks to read. If people like what they see, maybe they will return.

Your current illness is probably viral, and unless you are dehydrated there is nothing anyone can do for you. So drink your gatorade and stay in bed. Continual high fevers are a cause to see a doctor.

Hope you feel better soon. :)

Pookie?

...alrighty then.

Brad, for a while I thought the same thing. I owe Eric, from Confessions of a Southern Boy in Yankee Land, for the whole realization that you have to register. Don't be too embarrassed by it.

Sue, I know that it probably is viral, but I also have this penchant for getting pneumonia and last year I got a rather severe case of strep throat. I'm pretty sure this is neither, but it's better safe than sorry, I figure.

The "logo" doesn't have to be a logo. If you're young, gay, and cute just throw up a picture of yourself like I did.

That's enough to attract a gay readership right there.

Good advice Adam. I followed it. :) I dunno if it's the best picture of me (would they prefer one with less clothes? Probably.) but hey, I like the picture!
