Since I have nothing interesting to say right now, and since all of the cool kids are doing it, I figured I might as well cave in, too. So brace yourself for some sheer boredom.

1. I love making lists.
2. I don’t like making this one.
3. I also don’t like bell peppers, not that there’s a connection.

31. Otherwise, I have a pretty good mind.
32. I hear it’s a dirty one.
33. I prefer to think of myself as flirtatious.
