Based on a reddit thread ("What are you waiting for?"):

1. Why haven't you started that side project that will make you a filthy rich?
I'm still thinking about the idea. Still needs more refining and analysis.

2. Why haven't you asked him/her out?
Because I'm already in a satisfying relationship, thanks.

3. Why haven't you gotten a job?
I have a job. And it rocks.

4. Why haven't you started that term paper?
I'm going to interpret 'term paper' as 'letter to the Globe and Mail'. And yes, I'm on it.

5. Why haven't you started that book yet?
I'm still working on "The Origin of Wealth". Fabulous economics book. I recommend.

6. Why haven't you finished remodeling the bathroom?
We're renting. If we bought the place, you can bet that's what we'd do!

7. Why haven't you taken a shower or brushed your teeth yet?
Because I work from home, and my sleeping schedule's all over the place. Plus, I enjoy working in my PJs.

8. Why haven't you come out as an atheist to your family?
I did to my mum, and she's the only one who cared. She supported my decision. She was a bit 'disappointed' at first, but then when we discussed what exactly "atheist" means, she and I realised we had a lot more in common than previously thought.

9. Why did you stop practicing the guitar?
Guitar isn't for me, but piano is. I try to get in 3 hours a week practice.

10. Why haven't you scheduled the trip that you always wish you could take?
Trans-Siberian Railway through Mongolia... it will have to wait until we have enough money, and probably until our girl is old enough to appreciate it. But as soon as those things happen... XD

11. Why don't you just pick up the phone and dial when you know that person is waiting for you to call?
I call my grandmother every day.

12. Is it really that hard to do daily exercise?
No, it isn't, for someone in good health. But it's hard to go up a flight of stairs right now. Still making up blood loss.

13. Is the money at your job really worth trading you sanity for?
My sanity isn't going anywhere. The money isn't amazing, but it's better than a lot of places. Plus, I love my job. I would rather have a job I love with OK pay than a high-paying job I hate.

14. Your kid is old enough and still doesn't have a job, why haven't you kicked his ass to out?
Her only jobs are sleeping, feeding and pooping.

15. Why haven't you taken taken those business classes?
Bleh. How about law, or pottery, or sewing, or metalworking? I haven't taken those because I have a newborn to take care of! Also, we have no money to spare for such indulgences at the moment.

16. Why are you so afraid of firing your lazy employee?
I don't have a lazy employee, but if I did I don't think I would be afraid of firing him.

17. Do you really think someone better will come along, that your significant other is replaceable... so why don't you commit?
I am far too satisfied with my relationship to ever consider schocchan 'replaceable'. I love him to pieces.

18. Why haven't you set goals to drop your addiction, avoid distractions, break bad habits?
You're assuming I commit to regrettable things. I don't.

19. Why are you so set being content with being discontent?
I'm not discontented... just wanting to explore the world.

20. Why are you still reading Reddit/Digg/LJ/Fark headlines and trolling the comments?
Because it's fun and I enjoy it.

and yes, this is the FIRST and ONLY time I took this quiz, just in case you're wondering. And I didn't cheat.

I know this is my 'quiz' account, but I'm actually going to write something!

A list of things I'd like, if I had the money. This does not include trips. I would travel everywhere, given enough time and money.

- A Mac Mini (or maybe a desktop Mac to do my photography, music composition, etc)
- A really awesome sewing machine. (I really want to sew my own clothes. Only one shop sells clothes I really want, and it's a 6 hour drive away. Not so bad, I guess.)
- Weighted keyboard and piano (with sustain pedal)
- Sewing lessons (sounds stupid. I can sew, but I can't sew well. It drives me nuts. I'm not disciplined enough and I think lessons would really help)
- Metalworking class (yes, unscrupulously copied from luniana, but honestly, I have so many ideas for awesome jewelery. I've wanted to do it since I was about 15 but I had no idea that you could take LESSONS!)
- Glassworking class (I would love to try!)
- Art class. I'd love to learn about basic art principles like colour theory (ishako did these sorts of lessons, and they really intrigued me)
- Cello lessons. I don't own a cello, and I've never tried. But I just love the instrument so much, and I'd love to at least give it a try.
- Cooking classes. I would love to get a professional cookery qualification.
- Massage/acupressure class. Because it would be so interesting!

So, as you can see, I want to learn how to do EVERYTHING. If I had unlimited money, I would get a MMus (Master of Music) in percussion and/or composition. I would do the aforementioned classes. I would also enroll to do a PhD in Computer Science.
