In order to stop my mother's persistent nagging, I tried reading that book in high school, but having had the attention span of a goldfish, I didn't even come close to finishing it. Cue quarter life crisis.
So I'm thinking of applying to grad school but I also have to consider what to do beyond that. So I did some poking around online, looking at various jobs in journalism, publishing, teaching, etc. but it freaked me out too much and I had to stop. Everyone tells me to do what I love, but that's a whole lot, often contradictory, and not always practical in terms of a career. Some things that I like...
reading
people watching
busywork
making coffee
reasonable grammar
blogging sometimes
eating
traveling (see above: eating)
good music
so-called quirky humour
cleaning, sometimes
learning new things
movies
making stuff
making stuff work
making stuff look nice
HTML...ing
seeing the product of my work
a job well done
So what should I do? (Skills in all of the above will vary.) Right now I'm leaning towards a journalism or communications & culture program at Ryerson, but I have to decide if I even want to go to grad school. Also, need to determine how to fund two years of school. And what school to apply to. And when to start. And what to do in the meantime before school starts.
Gah! Have had way too much time to think about this. Someone distract me please.

Quite frankly what leaped out at me was that you would be suited for something in communication arts--media design, or graphic design maybe. But it combines a lot of those things on your list, and you can either go to Ryerson or Seneca, and transfer your Queen's credits over.
Just a thought, anyway.
