Another Peeve

I almost always learn more when a person tells me why they love something than when they tell me why they don't. But admitting one's preferences is dangerous business. So most people spend their time in the negative space of distaste. That can make for a great deal of amusement. For some reason, though, I'm not in the mood to be amused in that way right now. Maybe it's because I've been under the weather. At any rate, I'm going to be making a concerted effort to seek out moments of love-giving and shy away from moments of hate-giving. There. I've opened myself up to a massive dose of hipster ridicule. As Skylar would say, "Whatever."

Hipster ridicule? Guess I'm not a hipster then. I think this sounds like a great plan, me.

Don't know if the same person has sparked your recent thoughts, but someone we both know has been making me crazy with his distaste, disrespect, and not-quite-ridicule lately.

*hugs*

guess I'm not particularly hip then because this sounds like a good plan to me.

Wow. Where does irony fit in all that? I adore this plan.
