Change is Good?

So I've been hanging out in my head, mulling things over, kicking my thoughts around and I've decided I'm in need of some major life changes. Yep. But the thing is that as my life gets better (because in a lot of respects it is indeed getting better) the areas I'm able (or maybe just willing) to make major changes to are getting smaller and smaller. Or is it lesser and lesser? Whatever. Not so many areas. Can't move far away (as is my natural inclination) because I've now got this career thing on the go with the teaching and the whatnot (not to mention the actually maybe being able to put myself through grad school thanks to the swanky teaching wages). Can't even move not so far away as my teaching is in Nanaimo and my restaurant job is in Victoria where I can't find a place to live with my puppy that I can afford (and still afford grad school). Can't do anything crazy to my hair because I already got it cut this morning and there's really not all that much of it left to work with. Besides, I like my hair. It's shiny and pointy at the ends. Can't redecorate because I'm poor (the really swanky wage thing doesn't kick in until January and all that money is so spoken for already - stupid grad school). Can't get myself a super hot boyfriend to distract me because well, the reasons are far too many and much too pathetic to list here. Piercings are out because of the restaurant. Tattoos are out because of the cost. So really, what's left? I could become a vegetarian. Nah, I'm a carnivore (have you seen my teeth? So obviously for the rending and tearing of flesh). I could learn to ride a motorbike! But somehow I don't think giving me the capability to speed more than I already do is a really good idea. New friends? I like my friends! Grrr. Hobby? Not really a major life change is it? Unless of course it's skydiving or croc wrasslin' or some such thing. So that's where I am. Stuck. Stuck, stuck, stuck. And not precisely happy but not precisely unhappy either. Mostly just waiting for everything to come together so I can move forward with whatever it is that I'm doing. What was that again? And in the meantime, what to do now?
