This is eerily similar to something one particular character in a friend of mine's novel would say.

That's my favorite, but I use Wonder Bread.

Get some entry level job at a publisher and try to sneak your writing onto people's desks. And pull your **** together, you're a Spaceman goddammit!

1) Address the money thing. How will you support yourself in the short term, etc.

2) Figure out a small list of things you'd enjoy doing medium to long term that, broadly speaking, have some related "job" associated with them. If nothing interests you, it's often because you don't really have "insider" knowledge of what it's really like to do x or y as a proficient practitioner (rather than as a pure noob.) Pursuits that look bland or daunting from the outside can easily become engrossing and addictive once you really dive into them a bit and discover unexpected dimensions and stimulation and just a taste for the thing. You simply have to dabble (more or less deeply) in a range of stuff until a glimmer of this happens. (Again, assuming you don't already have a direction you know you want to go.)

3) Figure out the basic requirements to get from your starting position to doing a job in whatever (2) is, then take a shot at it. Now, because of things like opportunity cost and finite lifespans and circumstantial obligations and fatigue, it's not like you can easily take a lot of shots at a lot of stuff. But if you think ahead and play it smart, you can often structure things intelligently so you're not massively overcommitted, or so you can try more than one thing after completing a basic, broad-ish prerequisite. Oh, and this sours the picture a bit, but probably factor in some realism as well, so you're not pinning all your resources on lottery-style long shots. (Though I don't fault people doing the "I'll be waitstaff for six years while I try to make it as an artist (musician, standup, actor, whatever.)")

4) Profit.

P.S. Getting proficient-to-really-good at something (especially something with social or intellectual or, yes, purely monetary rewards) goes a long way towards filling you with drive and purpose and staving off the blues.

When the lead developer starts off your morning with this IM:

There's no way this conversation is going uphill....

You should try winning the Mega Millions before you do any of that crap.

Does anyone have a Hunger Games joke they'd like to contribute? I haven't seen the movie and I didn't read the books so I got nothin'.

Sorry, I gave mine to Dids.

Hunger Games? More like Hunger Lames

Is that the competitive eating documentary?

How about not making jokes about topics no one will give a **** about within 3 weeks?

What's the difference between The Hunger Games and the state of Florida?

When you murder a child in the Hunger Games, you win food or something. When you murder a child in Florida, the media villifies you

And re: Spaceman, here's a vote against going to school if it means taking on debt like it does for most people. Especially if you're unsure about what you want to end up doing.

What's the difference between the Hunger Games and a bag of excrement

No one charges 12 dollars to look at a bag of excrement

How many surrealists does it take to change a lightbulb?

The Hunger Games walks into a bar with a monkey on its head. The bartender says, "Say, that's unusual, where do you get one of those?" And the monkey says, "Panem, they're held annually!"

But seriously folks, hunger is no game and I don't feel right making jokes about it. If we all join together we can end world hunger. That's what we all want, isn't it? Can I get some applause here?

Evil Steve's mom is so fat she thought The Hunger Games was about the time she had to wait five minutes for cheese rolls at Red Lobster, thank you

Durden Bania itt.

Biggest Spring movie ever tho.

Actually has been reasonably positively reviewed as well.

Tyler,

It's just incredibly hacky to make jokes about something you haven't seen. You are the damn worst.

Yeah, my mother was fat. Then she died from fatness related complications. Red Lobster cheese rolls had a little something to do with that. You think that's funny?!?

Sorry for your loss Evil Steve

cheese biscuits, not cheese rolls.

she died as she lived, with cholesterol severely restricting her blood flow
