You’re Watership Down!
by Richard Adams
Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you’re actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You’d be recognized as such if you weren’t always talking about talking rabbits.
Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.

Ok.  In all fairness, I’m probably not just Watership Down, but how nice that one of my favorite novels of all time was my result.  I’d have had to add to my reading list if I’d found out that I was anything by Vonnegut, after all (yeah, never).  He was always interesting in interviews, but I just never made the time to read him.

As a matter of fact, there are a great many things that I’ve not made the time to do over the years.  Blogging comes to mind fairly frequently, but that’s actually fairly low on my list.  Exercise, self-enrichment, romantic dinners with my partner, and travel are things that I’m far more concerned about.

For my recent thirty-ninth birthday, I was gifted with a wonderful 80GB iPod Classic, and I’ve been listening to tons of audiobooks for the last week or so.  Three things that I’ve listened to are Crazy Busy by Edward Hallowell, Unlimited Power by Anthony Robbins, and Emotional Intelligence by Daniel Goleman.  To be totally honest, I listened to three Stephen King novels and Terry Pratchett’s first Ringworld novel before that, but I did get around to the self-improvement eventually. 

It’s had me thinking how wonderful a life I do have.  I don’t spend my time on what’s really most important to me most of the time, and I do have some major changes to make if I want to be where I do want to be before the big FOUR-O rolls around next April.  Look for major changes that don’t necessarily appear to be major changes, if that makes any sense.  If it doesn’t, nevermind.  It’s really a lot more important to me than it is to anyone else, and that’s just fine.
