I've got way more books than shelf space right now, but I'm having trouble finding floor space to put another bookshelf.

There is no age limit for a career crisis, Juliana. I don't usually recommend self-help books, but

Okay. After devoting myself almost full-time since 10:30 to this, I owe the DMV another $21 and they promise that's it, no more mystery charges sprouting up out of nowhere. I'm still expecting to be roundly fucked come Monday when I go in to pay, but for now that's what they're saying. Then there's the car insurance and the credit card payment and we're done for the month. And after this weekend of relative-hosting, the credit cards go in the freezer.

And jeez, how pathetic is it that I'm having the traditional mid-20's "I don't know what to DOOOO!" angst at 31?

Of course then I'm all "I'll write a comic! I'll go to grad school! I'll design clothes! I'll knit couture dog sweaters! I'll have a girly pink sex shop! I'll fight crime! It'll be awesome!" Then I fall over with exhaustion at how busy ideal me is.
"I'll write a comic! I'll go to grad school! I'll design clothes! I'll knit couture dog sweaters! I'll have a girly pink sex shop! I'll fight crime! It'll be awesome!"
I want you to do all of those things!
FWIW, I didn't publish my first book until mere weeks before I turned 40.

YES. "I'll study Shakespeare! I'll own a karaoke bar! I'll become a massage therapist!" Oy.
Clearly, you and I should go into business together, juliana. For we have ideas that are both right and good.

I turn 40 in ten weeks. Crap.

Yes. Also, we are very pretty and can hold our liquor.
