State of the Chaos

Things I have:
A website, even if all it says is "Coming soon". (http://www.badgefiend.com aroo!)
An ABN.
A new business bank account.
A vague understanding of GIMP.
Four badge designs.
One great potential lead! Woo!
An online shop that sells stuff I don't.
Far too much government info for one mind to encompass.
Many new email addresses.
Many, many new website ideas.
Love in my heart for Random, helpey helper that he is.

Things I do not have:
A business name. Well, I do. But not the official government kind.
A donut.
$1000.
More badge ideas.
Any ideas as to why I want a forum. What will people be saying? Really?
A business plan that is more than two Excel spreadsheets and the reassuring conviction that this isn't my day job so income-wise it doesn't matter.

Things I do not have and am hoping people can help me out with:
A logo.
More badge ideas.
What's a good model printer/scanner that's reasonably cheap?

Ack!

I have done a grown-up thing! I have an ABN!

Badge Fiend won out. Of course, I'm dreadfully uncertain I've made the wrong choice. Mad Endeavour, onwards!

Danger: High Voltage

I've had a weird sensation through my system every time I think about this Mad Endeavour. It doesn't feel like straight fear, which has more bass dread-overtones wandering around in the subwoofer of the gut. No, it's much more like the too-close-to-the-high-voltage-wire thrumming of anxiety. Let me know if my hair starts standing up on end.

So, what am I anxious about? Failure and Success usually have top billing in the Fear Wrestlemania, with their tendency to tag-team any weak ambitions and goals. Lack of Money, Talentless, Varied Insecurities and Fish Outta Water (you know, the gangster-wannabe playa) are prime contenders in the King of the Ring event. (Queen of the Ring?) I can't pinpoint any one thing that's making me feel like a hummingbird's caught in my chest, but surely...

I mean, something must be making me feel this way...

Maybe - gasp! - just maybe, it's excitement. Yeah! Anxiety doesn't usually make me grin, now that I think about it.
