and you're in a clique with reblicans in denial...

What's not to hate?

I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be grateful. But being pollyanna helps you drag yourself out of it. it does me, eventually. Once I've had time to dismiss all the wankers.

Thanks, Monster. Everyone at my AA meeting today told me I should be grateful, and I DO have things I'm grateful for, but I hate when people try to brainwash me into gratitude I'm not feeling at the moment.
