job woes

i've been consumed with trying to figure out what it is i want to do with my life. for a long time i thought i wanted to be a children's book editor. and now that i'm a children's book editor, i'm thinking i have possibly made a mistake. granted, it would be different if i were working on the new gossip girl book, or at least some kind of goosebumps-like series. or cookbooks--that would be fun. instead, i'm editing titles to teach kids to improve their reading comprehension and problem solving skills. SNOOZE.

so i've made a list of the things i like to do, in the hopes that i can get a clearer idea of what career i should pursue.

-internet shopping
-internet stalking
-shopping
-reading
-cats
-cooking
-looking at engagement rings on the internet

clearly, i am meant to flounder aimlessly through my life, trying on careers that will eventually be so boring that i'll contemplate sticking sharpened pencils in my eyes for entertainment value. is this my fate? this sucks.
