Must. Avoid. Paramore-related puns....

[The Rockerfly]

I don't know, I used to be optimistic, then I was pessimistic and now I don't know...

Anyone got any good arguments for one or the other?

 

[rokkolpo]

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

I AM OPTIMIST PRIME!

This! GIVE ME YOUR FACES!

...Whot?

 

[Cuddly Knife]

I know I'm an lazy ass.

Your an lazy ass?

I don't know wich one is wich...

What? You correct him, but make a mistake on the same word twice? Interesting.

On topic. I'm a pessimistic realist. Really though, what I think is that nothing is truly as bad or as good as people think it is.

 

[TheMatt]

Pessimist.

The glass is half empty... and it hates me..

 

[Eternal_24]

I'm pretty pessimistic but that's mostly due to me being paranoid and lazy.

 

[Azraellod]

Pessimist I guess.

I have tried being optimistic, and repeatedly get my hopes crushed for whatever reason. It's much easier this way.

 

[Kollega]

I AM OPTIMIST PRIME!

...Whot?

A meme. I thought it's widespread,but it may have been local. It has something to do with Transformers: The Movie.

[SomethingUnrelated]

I consider myself a realist, but im probably a pessimist. I mean, I managed to find a depressing side to Christmas.

 

[Lonely Swordsman]

Pessimist, because I like being positively suprised.

 

[ZeroMachine]

I'm a realist.
I hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

I consider that to be realistic optimism. True realist...ism... would be saying "I don't hope, I simply look at the most realistic outcome." A realistic pessimist would be pretty much the opposite. "Prepare for the worst, so when the best comes you're pleasantly surprised".

But yeah, that would make me a realistic optimist.

Had it threatened to stab you? Mine has... >_>

I've been a pessimist since I can remember. It's easier to hope for the worst, and when something does go my way it's just a nice surprise. If you're always hoping for the best then you'll end up depressed when things in fact crash and burn in your face.

Wait, isn't the 'an' for the 'ass' instead of the 'lazy'? I haven't been to an english class in years, but for 'a' and 'an' we just skip the verbs right?

An crazy owl or A crazy owl?

 

[ToMegaTherion]

I'm a realist. Life is cruel. That isn't pessimsim, that's the truth
