quarter life crisis

So this is where I'm at.... I am 24, I quit my job, packed most of my worldly possessions into my tiny Sunfire, got a computer after not having one for 6 years, and, for a dose of drama, cut 8 inches off my hair to move to Charleston, SC, and start my own business.

Most people wait until they are at least in their thirties or forties to have a "life crisis" and do something drastic to change their lives.  I feel like I have been having life crises since I was 14.  The first was when I applied to study abroad in high school.  The second came when I was graduating college and couldn't find a job, so I decided to join the Navy.  When the Navy didn't work out, I went where lots of young professionals sans options go...retail management.  After realizing that I would probably end up institutionalized if I stayed in the industry, I decided it was time for crisis number three: move 12 hours away to start my own business.  

I have always journaled about big events in my life, but with my new computer I figured I could rejoin society after my six year absence, by documenting my experience in blog/journal format.  So this is my story, hopefully I don't fuck it up too bad.
