46. I am officially past the half-way point of NaNoWriMo. In 15 days, I wrote over 25,000 words, making this officially the longest thing I have ever written in my entire life. I still have no idea where this story is going. My main character is getting a little annoying, because I’ve made her quirky for the sake of comedy. Imagine someone more neurotic and cerebral than I am, who imagines marrying every man she meets and spends every waking moment over-thinking relationships that never happen. So really, she’s like me to the nth degree, but with a fascination with marriage chucked in (whereas I am more likely to ignore romantic potential in members of the opposite sex, she sees it where it doesn’t exist). Right now, she’s mentally planning her wedding to a man she talked to on the train (she met him less than 24 hours before this… she’s totally wedding-crazy). She's a serial-dater with less stability in her love life than Paris Hilton. I’ve introduced four love interests, and even I don’t know which one she’s going to end up with (if any). I'm enjoying the adventure of writing this, as things keep happening that I don't expect (and I'm not sure how that's even possible).
47. One of my coworkers told me yesterday that he thinks I’m a snazzy dresser. I don’t believe anyone has ever told me that before. I was thrilled. I always try to put interesting ensembles together, but generally it goes unnoticed. And I have some coworkers who are always dressed a little more formally than I am, so I assume I look bad. But apparently not. My coworker thinks I always look put together. So yay-hooray for that!
48. I’m terrible at gauging cereal-to-milk ratios. I always end up overflowing. So, when I’m by myself, I pour the milk in the bowl before the cereal. It makes it much easier. I don’t do it in front of other people, because I don’t want them to see how weird I am. Add this to the list of random things I’m bad at.

First off, I love your blog. Second you are not alone in your cereal/milk dilemma. Since I cannot remember the last time I ate cereal at the breakfast table I have come up with a solution that works for me. i take everything with me to my room (Cereal,Bowl,Spoon & Milk) That way if I have too much milk I can add more cereal, or too much cereal I can add more milk. It is a simple existence but it works.
i cannot wait for this story of your to be finished, I am sure it will be an entertaining read. Currently I am reading "Into the Wild" let me just say WOW.
Thanks for the comment...lets all be fearless!
Have a great day and let us not be brought down by those negative coworkers that love to be depressed!
Until later
Your friend

I too have that cereal problem, and my solution is similar to the one above here. Though, I just remain standing next to the fridge while I scoop the cereal into my mouth. That way I'm close to both milk and cereal should I need more of either.
Good luck on your NaNoWriMo there.
I agree with the cereal milk thing. It is so true! I just end up adding more and more cereal to match the milk until I get so full I want to skip lunch.
To The Chaotic Libra - I'm glad you still love my blog. That's a decent solution to the milk/cereal dilemma. Glad to hear I'm not the only one dealing with it. I haven't decided whether I'll let people read my NaNoWriMo novel. It's really, really terrible... I would be more embarrassed by it if I weren't so proud that I'm still writing it. It's a weird sort of feeling. We'll see.
To R.E.H. - Another person with the cereal problem! Thanks for the luck. I'll need it.
To odd facts - I can't believe there are so many people who relate to that. Here I thought it was just me!
