had no idea what else I wanted to do instead, just... not be a teacher.

So what happens when I'm twenty-two? I discover I'm good at teaching and I like it. Hah.

Heh - that is sort of funny, but great that you discovered it before you had to go through all that mid-twenties flailing before finding you vocation. *cough*

Yeah, I'm with you on usually identifying with the female characters, too. Though it's interesting that we both seem to go for characters who are very different from ourselves, even though we like them to be same gender.
