Well, isn't this peculiar? Although I don't have the ability to see which searches led people to my blog, I got an email yesterday from a Brazilian chap who had found my website in this way. He searched for "Military service in Italy", which is strange, as I have no recollection of writing about it. And searching Google doesn't come up with my blog at all! Most bizarre.
Of course, I can't comment on Italian military service as I wussed out of it. I was 16, after all. My brother also decided against the idea, but managed to get himself arrested at Venice airport thanks to not having filled in the correct forms! How we laughed!
Anyway, I am now officially too old to do military service. Woo hoo! Though that's a double edged sword, sigh. I wonder what else I'm too old for? Professional tennis? Youth hostelling? Seducing 18-year-olds? Hmm, I'll get back to you on the last one...

(yes, it does. unless they are nasty and filter out referrels from search engines, you should be able to get search referrals from that)
Posted by: Caitlin on July 21, 2002 02:52 PMClick your Sitemeter. Click "By Referrals". There you go. Strangely, I don't see any Google referrals in yours. I normally see plenty, so it's either new that they filter them or you're not getting any lately ;)
Posted by: brian w. on July 22, 2002 12:17 AMHmm. Google doesn't seem to find my site at all, which is a shame. Any suggestions about how to change this? I am a publicity seekx0r!
Posted by: Mark on July 22, 2002 05:34 PMFunny, one of my fratellastri escaped military service in Germany by moving to Pisa at the sweet and innocent age of 8. Actually, it was a tiny little village NEAR Pisa. They have a quarry and an absolutely ancient church/ruiny thing of some kind. OK, that's where my expertise on all things Pisa ends. Guess I'm more of a Firenze gal.
