One feature of WordPress is the sharing of search strings. I get a kick out of this– am sometimes flabbergasted as to how those particular words brought them to my blog. And though, this one isn’t in the little section I’m sharing, it has been more than once…
“Dude. Hey you, looking for Hannah Montanna in a thong– Go away.”
And since I typed that, we’ll get to see how many people are sent here now after looking for that same string of words. Jeez. She’s a baby.
Here are today and yesterday’s…

Okay, in the saving of this draft, half the searches disappeared. They were the disgusting ones. (I had no idea this blog is so heavily edited… must think on that… hate… censorship… )
But since I don’t have it in me to type up the worst one, I’ll just share this. Some man is loving his dog way too much. And yeah, I’m aware that phrase could have several meanings, but I think I’ll change the subject now. <g>
But, this made me think of some of the weird search strings I type in occasionally. While writing, I’m always having to look up the most obscure stuff for research. I should keep a running list for you guys.
For instance, in my current WIP, I have a witch who uses different herbs in spells, etc. I have a most excellent reference book. This one.
Read about it here.
But knowing what herb is used isn’t the same as handling it. Ever tried to look up the smell of something on the Internet? The texture? Night. Mare. The last one gave me the woody texture of the root, the lightly hairy sides of it and get this… a pleasant aroma.
Pleasant aroma? What a subjective term.
No. I need comparisons. One of the herbs is agrimony. This is from the rose family so one might assume it smells like roses. All of you are smart enough to realize the error in that ticking bomb.
Research can be fun and it can be a pain in the ass.
In other news, I got my first book in the mail for a blog review. An author requested I review their book and sent me an advanced copy. How freaking cool is that?
In the famous words of Navin R. Johnson, ” I’m somebody now!”
