After I hit post I thought to myself, I really should have designated names for the quotes. I totally see the confusion as the result of my being tired and vague.
Sorry!
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Oh, I just thought it was funny, bonny! Nothing to apologize over! :)
Hrm. Flight tomorrow, have to leave house at 5:30AM. ...and yet, time to get off couch and pack? Heck no!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Um, is anyone still around? I need advice. There's something thumping around in my attic. At first I thought it was just the wind, because it is very windy here, but the wind has died down and I'm still hearing strong thumps from the attic. I can't get up there - there's no pull-down stairs and I don't have a ladder, and even if I did, I'm not keen on sticking my head up there. At least I'm fairly sure it isn't a person; there's no way a person could get up there from outside, and they could easily have gotten into the house already if it were.
What the heck do I do? Call Animal Control? Wait til morning and see if it stops? It's midnight, and I'm worried.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aw man, I have NO idea what to do!
Sounds like a critter to me though -- raccoon or squirrel who thought your attic must be warmer than trees.

I can't see how any creature could get into my attic from outside, to be honest. It's got me pretty spooked. It sounds like it's trying to dig its way through the floor - which would be the ceiling of the upstairs hall.
If it were daytime I'd call somebody.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Possum!
Some animals can fit through insanely tight spaces, which means Animal Control sounds like a good choice, and also opens up the prospect that you have an octopus stuck up there.

I can't find a number for Animal Control, for fuck's sake. I almost called the police, but they couldn't get into my attic, either - cops don't carry ladders around in their squad cars.
Fuck, I'm so nervous about this, I'm almost sick. The cats are freaking out, too. What if it is a person? What if it's an animal and it breaks through and falls onto the floor?
Why isn't there a "I'm Freaking Out, What Do I Do?" hotline?

It is not an octopus. Octopuses are quieter and require water.
Possums can't climb. It could be a raccoon, or a really big squirrel. Or a crazy human.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I would call the non-emergency line for the police.
