I am trying very, very hard not to become obsessed with the new statistics function. Even though math is my enemy, I like data, lists, and numbers, especially when arranged in bar graph form. Because I like it, I want to understand it. Because I want to understand it, I look at it often. Slowly, I am coming to understand valuable things, like that I should not get overexcited about the very large number of page views, because you know who's looking at my journal all the time? Me. I can get excited by the number of people who look at my journal because those people only get counted once; I cannot get excited about the number of views because I quite possibly click on my journal and various entries within it a hundred times in the process of editing fics, answering comments, navigating away from it by accident and coming back, etc. etc. It was kind of exciting when I thought 1,962 people looked at my journal in one day though.

What I should really be doing now is working more on my ladies1st fic. I feel sort of left out because everyone else is sweating yuletide, but I have my own holiday deadline story to worry about. boosette, my beta and cheerleader, has gone home for the holidays and I am slightly bereft without her. Do any of you have some free time on your hands? *look at you pleadingly* I feel a bit better about it today than yesterday because it now has a beginning and an end, so I feel like I know where I'm going. But writing for fic exchanges is kind of scary. It is a new fannish experience for me, and I will feel most guilty if it is not made of awesome.

The good news is that I got paid on Friday, so tomorrow I can go to the bank, put money in the checking account that I actually has a debit card attached to it, and then I can buy icon space to upload all the pretty Number One icons that taraljc made me.
