1. What I am doing. 2. I am. Oh, okay. I might more time off to travel and to take some classes outside of my profesional life. Not doing that because money is not no object. ---

I’d probably go back to teaching horseback riding part time and spending the rest of my time faffing about, crocheting and cooking. Why don’t I do it? I did it for two years and it turns out, when money IS an object, being incredibly poor is depressing. ---

1. What I’m doing right now. 2. I am, but I do wish I didn’t have any debt and that I could go out with friends after work without regretting what each drink costs. Still, I enjoy each day at work, and not many people can say that. ---

1. I would fund and produce a reality show featuring the looniest of loony conspiracy theorists, letting them explain in exorbitant detail who and how and why these massive conspiracies exist. First season – The TIME CUBE! 2. These people scare me. I would need to hire someone to kill them after filming their episodes, which would make their theories much more popular, AND raise the ratings of my program. And eventually the only conspiracy theorists left would be the ones who figured out MY conspiracy to kill them all, which would be true and bitterly ironic at the same time. ---
