Negativity

I don't generally think of myself as a negative person. I have a feeling that people who only know me through my blog or facebook (especially facebook--can we say 'ranting zone'?) think I'm a definite whiner. It's not really that I think I have a hard life, it's just that I like to tell people about my misfortunes, usually because I think they're funny. So for all you people that think I'm down all the time, I'm sorry. My life really isn't bad at all.

I usually don't notice so much what people think, but I friend of mine, who found me again through facebook, really does have a hard life and never complains. And then you hear the stories of all the people that were so very optimistic through a whole bunch of bad stuff and it just kind of make me sad to think I'm such a whiner. So what do you do about that? I don't know. Maybe they just haven't learned the joy of a good whine. Or maybe they're just 3000 times better people than me. Probably the latter. But for what it's worth I really do admire people who are optimistic.

These ramblings brought to you by the broken camera card. Otherwise you would have gotten pictures.

I'm not negative. I'm a realist. The glass is neither half full, nor half empty. It is what it is - a glass that will have to be washed. And I'm with you, Andrea; I'll tell you all about having to wash the cup.

I'm not one to talk - I have a whole blog devoted to my whining. But, whining is therapeutic, and fun, so I'm okay with it.

Are you whining about whining? I can't quite figure it out... :^)
