A Way Funner Life

I was just thinking yesterday that I am one of those people that's bound by the books. I don't know that I'm necessarily fixated in the "second" stage (I refuse to use that word on my blog) of our good friend Freud's developmental process. But I'm close. I'm definitely a "go-by-the-rules" kinda girl.

That's not necessarily bad. On moral issues, I would say that might actually prove to be a good thing. But life is full of day-in's and day-out's, and I seem to find myself approaching every day the same way I did the day before. And I think my lack of creativity at that point becomes more like a disability, no?

Yesterday I spent a moment contemplating this and resolved that I need to think outside of my boxed life a little more. That might sound odd, given the fact that I live in Africa. But it seems that even the craziest of settings can start to feel routine, if you give it long enough.

So, I find it ironic, but maybe not totally coincidental, that I came across this website today: The Fun Theory.

I know for many of you this is already a way of life. But for us second stage-r's, we find it brilliant.
