Hope you don’t mind my adopting your goal, Turandot. I’ve been flirting with it for a loooong time. I think it’s wonderfully worded and something I ought to do far more often. Actually, for me it’s probably more of an “afford to thoroughly become my eccentric disgraceful daring independent enthusiastic self”. Is that a paradox?

I’ve noticed that I have to be more confident to be as strange as I actually am. Especially when I’m around one specific group of friends and acquaintances, who all seem to be so ‘normal’, this becomes fairly tricky.

This goal might get me into a really nice conflict with my respectability goal… :)
