I really do not understand.

By far, the most common Google hit on my website involves a word I do not want to actually type, as it seems that would only exacerbate the problem. Suffice to say, someone (or several someones?, I suppose) keeps searching for that holiday that is on December 25, except without the "t" in the middle of it. I am continually returned as one of the top results.

I find two things particularly intriguing about this.

1) That mis-spelling appears NOWHERE in my entire diary. Even when spelled correctly, it is only mentioned twice.

2) That word also serves as a very common nickname for me among my friends. It just happens to be a convenient concatenation of my first and half of my last name.

How in the name of Pete did Google find out about my nickname?!? Color me completely confused, amazed, mystified, and very, very curious. Clearly the people at Google have been employing the services of some particularly puissant psychics. Who knew?

Also, I keep turning up for searches regarding that really hot, David Beckham-eqsue hairstyle I favor. That is, in a word, bad-ass.
