I've been thinking a lot about where I want to "settle down". I feel like I can go anywhere I want and set up a home base wherever I want, or even choose not to settle... it's an even more exhilarating feeling of liberation than moving out of my mom's house ( Read more... )

Then apparently I'm not a normal girl...
Yes, its fun to dream, and I'm not attacking you on that part, but still - its very amusing to watch you (very seriously) plan where you want to have your children grow up.
Hang on - in order to have children you're going to need a female of sorts to bring them into the world. Have you decided to find a wife BEFORE you have kids, or are you going to adopt? Or find a husband, I don't know. Never mind. I'm rambling...
...You ARE serious, aren't you? About the whole life planning thing? Hell, I know men TWICE your age who have no idea of what they want to do/are doing.

well, that last bit about my children was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but... yeah i have to admit i've thought about it.
a female? hell, i was planning on surgically inserting a uterus into my body and cloning myself. next year, if possible.
:p but really, i have possibly misplaced confidence that i'll find a life partner. i don't think i could ever handle being a single dad... and i'd say it's pretty far-fetched that i would ever have children before i'm well into my 30s.
the thing is, if i don't have a plan, i'm apt to wind up doing nothing. i don't want to do nothing. so i have to have a plan.
hell, last night i stayed up reading about the Kardashev scale and transhumanism, and it reminded me of how much i love thinking about the future. in this case, hundreds of thousands or millions of years into the future. i've even figured out exactly how i want my funeral to go.
