A couple of questions for you, my loyal and dearest friends (and those of you that read this on the internet ;-P )....

I feel there are three types of people - those that always find the good in any situation and are pretty much always happy, those that are in the main neutral - happy about some things, unhappy about others but when the things that make them unhappy change to what they'd like them to be, then they become happy about them - and those that, no matter what happens, are unhappy.

In example format:-

Person A is a happy smiley person. She doesn't have the ideal job but it could be worse so there's no point in letting it get to her. She met someone a few years back who would never be 'the ONE' she always dreamed about as a child but he's nice, independent and obviously loves her deeply, so really that's enough for her. She has the cutest puppy ever whom everybody adores. Her landlord is a total sleaze and it freaks her out a bit, but hopefully she'll move in with the boyfriend soon.

Person B is a pretty relaxed kind of person. Not a huge amount gets him down (but when it does it tends to hit like a freight train then disappear just as quickly). His job is crummy but pays the rent and plenty more so he'll stick it out for the time being until he finds something better (and he checks the job websites every night after work). Part of him wants a girlfriend, but another part loves being free and single. Neither part has control of his life entirely. He could always use a bit more money, but then who couldn't? He drinks too much to cheer himself up.

Person C is, on the surface, a lovely person. Secretly however, she bitches about everyone. No-one escapes her tongue and she both looks down on everyone for not being her and cries herself to sleep at night in fits of jealousy. She complained bitterly about men and how they're all bastards and not good enough for her - then found the perfect guy who loved her for what she was. Now, less than a couple of months later she's subconsciously trying her best to ruin any chance of a relationship. In short, being happy hurts too much and being unhappy feels like home. Plus when he leaves she'll be proved right, and that men are all bastards.


So, first question, which person are you? I think I'm mainly B with a touch of A. Feel free to disagree - your point will be listened to and politely ignored :)

Oh, and Persons A-C are fictitious. Any resemblance to persons living, dead or married is purely coincidental.

And the second question is, if I snogged a girl who'd just done a shot of something, would that breach my no-drinking rule? Seriously like, would it? How long after a shot is it all-clear? Does beer count?

I reckon I'm half A, half B, most of the time!

As for the snogging, surely if it won't show up on a breathalyser test it won't break your teetotalism? :-)

I like your reasoning, but one pint wouldn't show up and since I'm not even having that.....

It's a real quandry... :)
