You know, I criticize others for preferring security over freedom (hence Shrub's ludicrously high approval rating and the continuing errosion of our freedoms in this country), but at the same time, I find myself failing to live fully or originally, without the strength of will or motivation to do much about it. I had hoped that this "time off" would force me to examine what I really want to do with my life, but all I seem to be doing is wondering what kind of job can I get, not what do I want to get. And I don't know how to break out of the need for the security only a bi-weekly or monthly paycheck can give me. *sigh*

Well, when it gets to be its worst, I guess I can look at Sarah's list of what she doesn't want her life to be, and know that someone somewhere knows what she wants.
