Anyway, I think I would write (poorly), paint (only when drunk), take up yoga, make jewelry that a small child could get praise for and continue to not shave my legs. And that year would pass all too quickly I bet.
Who are you answering?

Fake my death and come back and haunt people...

or go live a completely different life (a year of transhumance somewhere, gender-bend and pretend to be a man, join a Hutterite colony, do the grizzly adams thing)...

or go do something useful...

or get tons of cosmetic surgery...

or learn to do something that I haven't thought of yet...

or build a house ... well, watch other people build it...

or do SFA...

Okay, you made me google Hutterite. I can see why you'd start that adventure with gender-bending, I don't think you'd fit in very well as a woman HWP.

"The Hutterite community has one of the highest fertility rates."

"Hutterite colonies are male-managed with women participating in traditional roles such as cooking, medical decisions and selection and purchase of fabric for clothing."

How is that really any different than mainstream suburbia?

I think I'd get my dream business off the ground: Jerk School.

The adverts would go something like this: "impress your friends with your knowledge of irrelevant facts - talk louder than everyone else - argue about the price of the wine. With Jerk School training; YOU CAN!"
