Minor irritants
Regarding the last entry that I made.
While for the most part the comments people have made on my journal have
been enthusiastic or at least positive-leaning neutral, I've gotten a
few people who in private conversations react in a rather different
manner. Ranging from nervous caution to outright dismay. Now don't get
me wrong - I do appreciate that people care enough to be concerned about
your well being, and there is nothing wrong with that. Nor do i mind
the advise to be careful with it and not do anything stupid. However
there are some people who go on as if it's some kind of instant death
sentence and admonish me for doing something so foolish. Bah. Whatever
happened to trying to show a little positive support for a friend when
they've finally gotten around to accomplishing something they have
wanted for a good long time?
Yeesh :p Maybe I'll be more cautious who I tell should I decide to take
up bungee jumping or something like that.
