why not?...oh.

I kind of want to just choose some completely unexpected career. Like opening a bakery. I mean, I can't really bake (unless you count Betty Crocker, or recipies from the first page of Google search) but I could learn, right? Learn a bunch of recipes, maybe figure out how they work - what tastes good in what, what does what to the texture, why the hell red velvet cake has vinegar in it, etc. Besides, I can just hire some bakers to bake for me, and myself just manage the business. I don't know if I'd be good at managing a business. I'd probably be too scared to make any real bold business moves, and end up losing a lot of money. I think I might be pretty good at creating the concept for the bakery, though. It could be one of those theme bakeries. Kind of like Psycho Donuts without the donuts. Or the psycho. Well, I'd probably still have donuts in there somewhere, but instead of psychos I'd have something different. Like rollercoasters. Yup, I could have a rollercoaster themed bakery. And different stuff could be different rides, and the staff could scream when they had your order - no, they shouldn't. I wonder if a themed bakery like that would count as a creative and daring business move.

The moral here is I should never run a bakery.

I don't even know anymore

You know what would be a great job? A critic. Like a book critic or a movie critic or a TV show critic, just sit around and be surrounded by fiction all day and then look in-depth and talk about it. And then get paid for it.

That would be a great job for me - I mean, seeing as that's what I do with pretty much everything I read or watch anyway. It's kind of a problem , actually. I can't just like or dislike something, I need to figure out WHY, what parts, what I'd rather be different. Even if I love a book or movie, I usually find flaws. I really am interested in writing , and understanding how stories work, so I do know about what makes something good, how to analyze it. (And I'd love to learn more.) I know that writing isn't really practical except on the side, but this kind of job would let me involve elements of it in slightly different ways: over-analyze it all and then talk about it. Then people would actually listen to me for it, and use my judgement to use their own, and that would be really cool.
