Yeah see there is that my problem. At the age of seven I had decided I had enough of this seatwork crap. I come from a family where no one wants to join in on that fun and we tend to respond by ignoring such things and doing what makes us happy. It is like that Kauffman and Hart play, "You Can't Take it With You". That play is my family to a T. You are told to do what you like with your time as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else and you are being fairly civilized with the rest of the human race. Mind you this has so-far created me a non-paid writer, my brother who is an actor, my sister who is considering medical school but is also keen on ballet and the cello and my youngest brother the musician. Money and stuff isn't a huge deal to us. We like things but we would rather have a good time.
I don't suppose we are successful but we are cheerful.
I only work so I can keep myself in paper and books.
