I am the girl of 100 lists
\nFrom what shall I wear
\nTo who I have kissed
\n–the Go-Go’s\/Girl of 100 Lists<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Recently a friend mentioned that he makes lists every day. Being a covetous and envious sort, I immediately wanted some lists of my own. <\/p>\n

Being a procrastinating sort, I didn’t just sit down and start writing immediately. <\/p>\n

Being a forgetful sort, I promptly forgot about making lists entirely.<\/p>\n

Mark thought I could make a list of all my rants about “Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.”
\nThe enforced conformity, the violation of elf labor laws, the bullying, the intolerance, the violence toward the Abominable…the overt sexism and patronizing way Donner treats Rudolph’s mother..King Moonracer trying to pawn off his misfit toys on unsuspecting children. There’s a lot about it that isn’t very pleasant. <\/p>\n

Being an occasionally indecisive sort, i couldn’t decide what format the list should be in. <\/p>\n

So I watched “Rudolph” and ended up with this.<\/p>\n

Maybe I can do a list tomorrow. <\/p>\n

Rudolph says hey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
