What's mildly irritating you today?

Time for some confidence!

(Maybe this is the part where I run into a phone booth and come back out dressed as a superhero... whose super power is to actually click "Post Quick Reply")

This is exactly how I feel (the minor exception being the length of time on the Cellar and I also tend to think I need to do major background research before I even venture an opinion on anything serious not involving feelings because if I'm not properly informed, people could justifiably shoot me down in flames which would be completely humiliating).

While we're talking about other people managing to express perfectly exactly how I feel, I came across this today which totally describes in words and pictures how I feel about being an age when I'm expected to act like an adult.

If you venture an opinion/take a position, and someone posts the same opinion/position in totally awesome verbiage/poignant prose, you get points for being on the same team. So you, Chocolatl, or anyone, shouldn't hesitate to throw something out there.

Oh, and don't be discouraged if nobody responds. It was read, and just maybe you wrote the awesome verbiage/poignant prose... m'kay?

Cheers Bruce. Appreciated many times over.
