Top 5 Things On My Mind
December 2nd, 2005
I am, quite frankly, brain-dead this week. So brain-dead, in fact, that I couldn’t even think of something to make a list about. Weird, huh? Anyway, today you’ll be treated to a list of the top 5 things I’m thinking about this week:
5. Will Nick remain famous now that he and Jessica have split? I really hope so - I think he’s so sweet! I read that he has a sitcom in the works, which I would totally watch. Or at least, I would support it in theory. And I’d download a couple of songs off his next album. On another note - I’ve never been happier to learn that a woman refused to sign a prenup. Go Nick!
4. What on earth makes people think that it’s okay to litter? Do these people walk down the street and think, “Gee, you know what I really like to look at when I’m outside? Trash! There’s just not enough of it around! So I think I’ll just drop my Dunkin’ Donuts cup on the sidewalk!” Or maybe, “Well, that’s enough of today’s news. Hmm… there’s a trashcan 3 feet away, but that’s really too far for me to walk with this thing. I better drop it here.”
3. Who will go see the new Harry Potter movie with me? The only friend of mine that likes the books, Nicole, already saw it without me! ARGH! I don’t have a problem with going by myself, but it’s so fun to talk about how the movie compares to the book afterwards….
2. When will Alexis’ blog be up and running normally again? I’m dying without it!
1. You know how in the movies, mall Santa Clauses have fake beards, and inevitably some child pulls it off, causing chaos and stampedes? Has that ever actually happened?
Because I’m bored at work, I did a LexisNexis search to answer your question about exposed mall Santas. I found a lot of references to it as a generic situation, but sadly, no concrete examples. (Then again, that could just mean that my searches weren’t very good.)
However, I did find this: In the December 24, 2003 edition of The Roanoke (Virginia) Times, they ran a piece in which teenagers told the stories of when they stopped believing in Santa. Bryce Bauman, a senior at Franklin County High, said: “I was 6 years old and Christmas was coming up. My parents took me to the mall to see Santa. I asked Santa to bring me a bike and afterwards we went around buying presents for the family. I had a large drink at lunch and now needed to go to the bathroom. My parents took me to the restroom and when I went to open the door, there was Santa sitting in the stall with his beard hanging on the hook. I ran outside to see my parents just in time to hear them discussing how they were going to sneak the bike in the house.”
That must have been an interesting Christmas at the Bauman household.
Anna, what are we going to do…? I’m not sure about you but it’s getting harder and harder to enjoy my blog because of all the spam it’s getting attacked with. You may be having a similar problem… I enjoy my normal site about sexy kissing because it doesn’t get cluttered with shallow comments, but when I’m visiting other blogs and places on the web looking for sexy kissing stuff it seems to be everywhere.
Well, good luck with your website goals. I wish you the best.
I’m updating tonight. Bitch. The blog is almost in complete working order.
I love you so much. Like soooooo much and your new photo make me so so so sos os os os osos HORNY!
Is that comment spam disguised as a complaint about comment spam? Amazing. That just blew my mind.
P.S. That is a hottt photo! Damn!
I have a request. I’d like to hear about the top 5 moments that have taken your breath away.
Your new picture is gorgeous!
Let’s get together soon! Miss you, sweet Anna.

I will see it again…Cedric Diggory is so cute!
Ok, update on the Santa question. In the Worcester Telegram & Gazette, a mall santa named Frank Jenkins was asked if the beard is real, and he said, “It is. Believe me, it’s been pulled a few times.”
So if kids are pulling the beards, clearly there has to be some possibility for mayhem.
