Pretty much the same as you, only without the vomiting, hair cutting, marriage, barnacle consumption, and dress purchasing. It's scary how much we have in common...
And uh, I'm just working a job I don't like for money that I certainly do like

Finding time to do the writing/music thing on the side, which is truly where the big bucks are.... or not *sigh*. And I plan to move in the next year or so, because my current city is about as exciting as the Friendship board...
