Bored, therefore:

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal if you are so inclined.

Er, given my horrible track record on these things, no promises, though I will definitely keep topics in mind!

When I was a kid, my ambition was to never grow up! I didn't want to stop make-believe or stories and have to enter the real world and deal with bills and whatnot. I was particularly freaked out because I had no ambitions and thought I would be a total failure at life. This sounds rather sad, typing it out, but it's true....

Now that I am (sort of) grown up, I have discovered that I don't have to stop make-believing or reading fun stories, and that dealing with bills sucks, but it means I can finance my own hobbies. I'm getting into a career that I'm enjoying, though it was something I never would have thought of as a kid, and it has been a nice surprise to realize I am not, in fact, a failure at Real Life.

That's really sweet, I was pretty sure that most people couldn't wait to grow up. I thought that it made you capable and responsible and was generally entirely different from being a child.
