I want you to post more often. This is me getting actively involved.

Beer.
I'll be more proactive after work.

That pretty much sums up my philosophy these past several months, but it makes action more difficult because I find there's not much I want.

I think you may want to consider fixing the link. But that's just me, I'm happy to be wrong.

between this and nickerson's "untitled draft #2", I feel like actually doing something...so if I quit my job, go out and buy a guitar, start a band and get famous, I shall make sure to thank you both in my grammy acceptance speech

For me, it's like the song says: "But how can you know what you want / Till you get what you want / And you see if you like it? / ... /What I want most of all- / ... / Is to know what I want."

World peace and happiness?
Oh, and a uninterrupted night's sleep.

So for me, anyway, the trick has been to figure out what I want. This question does clarify things for me, though; if I'm not actively pursuing it, maybe what I've thought all along what I really wanted isn't? I suspect, though, the *real* answer is that I'm going to have to say goodbye to my long-time companion, FEAR, and embrace the unknown, actually commit, and go for it. And that's scary.
So to you, Annie, and to Peter McWilliams, thanks for the kick in the slats. "I needed that."

Sometimes it's because I don't want it enough, and sometimes I'm just too tired. Or maybe I don't want it enough to get enough sleep.
