Introductions first............

Hey I've finally made it! Who would have thought that I could get myself this far without at least one phonecall to some tech-savvy friend or relative to guide me through. I wouldn't say that I know what I'm doing or anything but the instructions are fairly clear so I didn't really have an excuse. I'm trying very hard to get this done today but really good avoidance opportunities keep coming up so it's taking me a very long time. I think that I'm the absolute Queen of Procrastination, even when I'm excited and happy to be doing something I still have to procrastinate. Old habits die hard!
I suppose I need to explain what I'm doing here.... Life so far for me has been pretty good, a few hiccups here and there but in general I've had an interesting, fun life. However, just recently I've noticed that things have got a bit stale and I haven't felt that exciting buzzy feeling that comes with leading an adventurous life. I've thought long and hard about what's changed and I've come to the conclusion that it's me.
I don't mean that I've changed in any obvious way, I think it's more like a refining process. I could say it's a mid-life crisis but I won't because then I sound old. I think that the phrase 'identity crisis' is less age specific so I think that I might go with that. I want to live the life that I dream about, that I've always dreamt about but never lived. Much to my surprise it didn't just happen because I wanted it or dreamt it and no knight in shining armour came along and swept me into my land of make believe.
So to cut a long story a bit shorter, I'm at a crossroads and I've decided that I have to give myself the opportunity to try to lead the creative life that I've dreamt of or I'm going to go crazy.
