a few things. 1) i made that website just so i could fill in that damn box. 2) i wrote a rilly long post that accidentally got erased. you might get a shorter version here. 3) this is sooooooooooo crazy, but i'm starting to get a little annoyed that the name/email part of the comments is giganto, and then the text part is small. sooooooo crazy. just ignore it. i only wrote it because i had to let that little bird out. 4) you are talented, so very intelligent, and laid back (and not in a slacker-y way). (now, fill in another paragraph of me telling you how great you are.) i believe all those things will come together for you in the form of money for work that you usually enjoy (i can't promise the sweet, sweet joy of the job from heaven). and if it's going to be anywhere, i'll say it's seattle. and who knows? maybe you'll come to love the zenness that is free-lance. :D
