A note for those who don’t know me:

I’ve just been reading over my recent journal entries and noticed how terribly depressing I must seem. I may be rather pessimistic and cynical, and I may be somewhat socially reserved, but I swear I’m not really this depressing in real life. I’m not always all doom and gloom; sometimes I’m puppies and sunshine! OK, maybe not puppies and sunshine… but I am optimistic and bright-eyed from time to time. I’m not sure why I only seem to post when I am upset or bemused about something. Maybe misery is my muse? Anyhow, the point is: please take everything you read here with a grain of salt. I have my ups and downs, but I’m really an OK guy for the most part, I swear.
