Statistical Analysis (or, Who Are You, Lone Visitor?)

And if that title didn't put you straight to sleep, I don't know what will (no offense to people who are into statistical analysis).

One of the great things about keeping this blog is the lovely toolset that Blogger gives me to track things like pageviews, audience, etc.  It doesn't drill down to an individual person or anything like that, but country of origin, linking page, and such are at my fingertips.  Ordinarily, I see a brief spike when I post a new blog and self-promote on Facebook.  People like my parents and a few close friends check in to see what I'm rambling about now and, within a day or so, the pageviews flatline again.  I'm mostly journaling for my own entertainment, so it's not a huge blow to my ego when I don't get pageviews for a while.  I'm not a huge source of news, or a celebrity, or hosting a depository of cute cat photos, so, admittedly, the draw is limited.

What spikes my curiousity is after I haven't posted anything new for a while and then get a single hit.  Especially when it's from a country where I don't know anyone.  Who is this single person, and what brought them to my tiny corner of internetdom?  Did they find what they were looking for?  I'd love to be able to engage this lonely visitor in a dialogue, just to complete that connection.  Was it a random blog link, or did they come, searching for beer, music, zombies, or religion (and what sicko [other than me] would combine those things)? 

People are notoriously loathe to forfeit their anonymity, but I'd really enjoy hearing from you if you find yourself here and don't already know me personally.  If you don't mind, drop me a quick comment, letting me know what brought you here.  I think it'd be a fun experiment.
