At that point I kind of dodged the question by getting a high-maintenance girlfriend who dragged me through continual crises. Which kept me occupied, at least. I'm not selling this 'get a wife' thing very well, am I? :P

Now, though, I've boiled it down to 'pick a new goal, work towards that goal, achieve (or abandon) goal, repeat'. I was stuck on the idea that there was no 'right' choice, I've now realised that means there's no 'wrong' choice either, so I just do what I find to be most rewarding, which is building useful things.
