Okay. I’m at 50, and I think a little break is needed after this.

41. I am a procrastinator’s procrastinator. In my current position at work, I’m normally hot and heavy in the middle of a project during this time of year. It’s always right around Thanksgiving, and it kicks my ass. This time around, the project is insanely intricate, and I’m going to be taking vacation time off next week for the holiday so I can visit my parents. I’ve already told my counterpart that I’m NOT going to spend my vacation stressing about this project (though I’m sure I will). We have seven days including today. The countdown begins. I wonder when I’ll start? [Additional note: This one’s actually not my fault. I’m waiting for a budget blessing from the prez., and I can’t get a straight answer from my boss. Could this be the firing I’ve been bracing for?]

42. I sometimes feel inappropriate jealousy pangs. Q. has updated his “dating diary” for the local paper with some juicy tidbits, and I felt my face flush as I read. What the hell? I hate his ass. Why am I jealous? And why do I keep checking the damn site for more updates on a pretty regular basis?

43. I am insanely addicted to the internet and emails and such. Perhaps Bob Geldof has a point. I don’t remember what I did without it, but I damn sure know I’m getting too much of it. What if we find out someday that computers cause cancer? I’m so dead.

44. I get ants in my pants. I get restless every few years and feel the need to pack up and move on. Guess I’m right on schedule. I hope I can do this…soon.

45. I collect all things giraffe. I have little giraffe statuettes, giraffe print purses, giraffe picture frames. Granted, I don’t really display the stuff—most I’ve gotten as gifts from friends who know the baby giraffe story. Basically, I was out one night and fell on a choppy, broken sidewalk. As I was falling, my arms and legs went every which way, just like a baby giraffe that’s learning how to walk.

46. I like semi-filthy Ketel One martinis.

47. So my suitemate and I crawled into the back of the car with, um…I think four complete and total strangers. I’m pretty sure they were almost as drunk as we were. They drove us back to our dorm, but just as we were about to get out of the car, we asked them where they were going. They were football recruits (we went to a MAJOR football school), and they were staying in a hotel by the airport. Well alright!! Now we were talking! We told them to keep driving. Our request was granted. And someone pulled out a bottle. And I tipped the glass up again, and again, and again. All the way to the airport.

48. I once got in trouble for pulling the neighbor boy’s pants down.

49. I’ve always had a thing for David Letterman.

50. I also have a thing for puppies. I babysat for Jen’s new baby today:
