On Valentine's Day

Does anyone else find this little blog heart to be annoying? I need to retaliate against it somehow. Maybe this would help: The Pessimist's Mug In these irrationally exuberant times, it's getting harder and harder for the self-respecting pessimist to stay unhappy. So pervasive is the hope, so overwhelming the positivity, that without the firmest grip on your sullen perspective, you might actually lose it. Then one day, you wake up looking at the bright side, whistling some inane showtune, and generally annoying everyone around you. Fortunately, we've created a solution. Despair, Inc. is proud to introduce The Pessimist's Mug™ Specifically engineered by the chronically cynical pessimists of Despair Laboratories™, this crystal-clear mug will help all who drink from it to Stay Grounded™ by forever reminding them to see when the glass is half-empty. Fashioned by the perpetually miserable using the extremely rare silicon dioxide compound, fused at very high temperatures with borates or phosphates. DISCLAIMER: Product not compatible for use with plain milk. Drinkers should consider adding chocolate syrup to ensure compatibility.

Nusa, I know where you learned all of those words from. Buy me this mug for your birthday. That's right: YOUR birthday.

Khad, she is a butter freak, but I like her nonetheless. If there was no more butter in the world, it'd be okay for her, she'd just substitute it with some wine. That drunkard.

Umar, yeah man, you're a prime candidate. Nothing's up with that. Excerpts from my life, that's all.

Assalaamu Alaikum :)

haha! That is the funniest thing ever, but I'm not the type of person who would own such a mug ... even though I would love to right now :S

Missed you and your blog Asmaa!

Asmaa said...

Khad, naah Everyday Italian sucks, the woman is too thin. She doesn't seem to eat anything she cooks.

Squeeky, I'm glad you're back. You're too jolly of a person to own such a thing!
