I wish my sister in law had your outlook. She was almost engaged in college, but broke it off when we graduated (she's my age) over fear of an unlived life, but ever since then, it's been a string of guys she thinks she can mold into the perfect husband. And it ISN'T working. She's been in a major rush to get married (not seeming to care to WHOM), ever since then. And I think it's partially fueled by the fact that her little brother (my husband) got married already and will have kids soon. I think she feels she's lagging behind.
We have tried to convince her to take some chances, get out and live life a little!! It's the perfect time to try new things, because she has no one but herself to think of, but she's paralyzed. The girl is 29, makes loads of money, probably has $60k in the bank, and lives at home!! With her parents, AND little siblings (aged 9 and 11). It's like she thinks if she's still at home, she hasn't grown up yet and then it's ok she's not married. It's getting pretty sad.

AND I think you're cool because your job is creative! I LOVE crafty stuff, and I'm trying to learn different things, I have a craft desk in my basement and all kinds of supplies. I really like mosaics (am making my mom a table), and I'm trying to teach myself to sew. I just have to set aside the time to do this. One of my goals for the next 6 months--get crafty! I look forward to seeing your pics!
