Wow, all this is very interesting. I'll bet optomism is healthier because pessimists probably feel more stress, and stress ages you much faster. And of course you're right, Tom, I'm sure it is just my mind. I made a conscious descision recently not to let my mind do that to me. I would stop being pessimistic, and I would stop thinking I was jinxing myself by saying something, and just let things work themselves out. And I did actually feel better. I guess the stress of the end of the term sort of distracted me, and so I haven't been keeping it up for a while, but it really worked. I was happier most of the time than I was, and I was less distracted. Pessimism can be distracting, whereas optomism isn't at all.

And I would study outside, but I don't think outside of the box like that. If the weather keeps up, perhaps I'll do it tomorrow. Thanks for the thought! Plus, there are no bugs yet! Nicest April we've had for a long time, I think. Speaking of that, really, we need to have a get-together soon. Maybe something outside, like a bbq at Assiniboine? We were gonna do that before, but it was Canada day and all, so there were none avaliable. I talked to Montebruno, and he'll be back in town soon, and I know he'd like to see everyone before he has to leave again. So this is the best way! Plus, I never get to see everyone! Going to the U of M, the term ends later. So my last exam is the 23rd. So anytime after then. Wink wink. ;-)

hmm...I suppose it has to do with not wanting to set myself up, only to be let down. Because as far as I can tell, every time I say something optomistic, the exact opposite happens.

I can teach you the fine art of pessimism, my son. You will learn.

Holy hell, this weather! And I'm couped up in here procrastinating studying. @#%&!

You know, your shiny optomism is going to make me puke one of these days, Tom. There's no emoticon for vomiting, is there? Ah well. :-P I slay me.

I'm trying to freak people out here, Mel. You mind?

This is where it all changes. We're grownups now.
