@Project_Worm: YOU'RE IN HIGH SCHOOL! Now I feel old...
Join the club. It means this pup wasn't even born, when I graduated! lol
Yes, yes. 18 year old Senior...
It's all good. We all have to be 18 at some point. lol
It's good that you've given thought to what you want to do though. Take some advice from the old guy: don't lose sight of that. Without giving you a whole long story, I did everything the hard way, making all of the cliche mistakes, and maybe a few that you'd find unique. It has delayed my dreams of writing and publishing, and I'm now at the age that I have to face the possibility that it may never happen for me. I still hope that it will, but at this point, it may not.
Pay your bills and get laid when you can, but don't create so many bills and get so over your head inbetween someone's legs that it keeps you from pursuing your goals. Enjoy life, but live sensibly, and keep tapping those keys. Make your dreams happen first, and they will take care of your bills, and you'll have time to enjoy a love life, instead of trying to fit a little play between double shifts and sleep.
Forgive the sermon - I'm feeling a little manifesto-y tonight. I had to learn from my mistakes as I went. Being practically at that border between being young and being old, I've come to recognize why old people are always lecturing younger people (in a style much like this little rant from me to you). It's not that we think you're screwing up. We just want to save you from our mistakes. Meaning: if I can give you the benefit of learning from my mistakes, so that you don't make your own in the same area, I will lecture all day long. It's not to beat you down and hold you back though - quite the opposite. It's to help propel you forward, so that you get to your goals faster than me. Learn life's lessons at the earliest possible time, so that you don't get held back. ;)
(man, I really don't know where that's coming from tonight, but I hope it helps you sometime. lol)
