Interesting....

Penelope Trunk has a new post up about happy or interesting lives, with a little questionnaire. As most internet quizzes go, it's not to be taken completely serious, but it does show you a little bit more about your decision-making.

I scored right in the middle of wanting a happy or interesting life. I think this is because for the last 25-ish years or so (or maybe 20, if we're going with cognizant years) I have desired a happy life. I'm now coming to turns with the fact that I will probably never be completely satisfied with my life, but I would at least like it to be interesting. I think I scored in the middle because I'm still switching gears, dragging my feet, and throwing the occasional temper tantrum.

I would like to have an interesting life. I think if my brain is engaged more often, I won't worry so much about things not turning out the way I expected. I admit it, when I was 16, I was sure I'd be married to my high school boyfriend by now. In fact, when I was 19, I was sure I would have at least one child by now.

Looking back, I think I prefer it this way. I'm not completely happy, but how can you not at least be pleased to be an executive*-writing-bellydancing-computer geek who can find the answer to how Skynet knew Kyle Reese existed in under 30 seconds?
