I personally believe we developed language because of our deep inner need to complain. ~Jane Wagner

I will be the first to tell you that my second worst personality flaw (the first being wayyy too judgmental) is complaining.  I am most definitely a complainer.  It's bad because in reality I am a happy person and life for me is pretty much great, but there is always something bothering me.  My current complaints include:
  • it is slightly too cold in my house but too hot to sit in front of the space heater (believe me, I've tried)
  • it is gross outside -- summer seemed to disappear the instant the calendar changed to Labor day and that makes me sad.  
  • UK library does not have the issues of Aphasiology available that I need to get articles to read and plan therapy for next week and they are nowhere to be found for free out in the rest of the world wide web.
  • I need new clothing for school which means shopping (and yes, I can even turn my favorite past time into a complaint) but the lack of income presents and problem there AND the reason I need new clothing is because I have "outgrown," shall we say, my older clothing.  *I seemed to have gained the senior 16 instead of the freshman 15 -- but at least I didn't gain both! See, I can look on the bright side :p
I probably wouldn't have to work real hard to make a huge list above (like...I forgot the laundry and dishes I need to do and the 100 pgs I need to read before Monday, and the meeting I have at 8:15 on FRIDAY) but you obviously get the point.  I like to complain.

School seems to be the biggest source of my complaining these days. And one day I will be finished. Which is a nice thought until I realize that work will just take its place.  The truth is, I have come to terms with my complaining, I just hope that it doesn't put people off or give people the wrong idea about me.  Life will never be perfect but you can't have ideal with out "deal" and that's what I do,  I-deal (hah, you see what I did there?). But sometimes the way I deal involves some complaining along the way. 

 I could go on about how I am going to try to look on the bright side at all times, to realize that there are so many people out there that have it much worse than I do (which, don't worry, I already realize that), to be positive, and to stop my silly complaining. But we all know that isn't going to happen, complaining is my therapy and as long and no one takes me too seriously I'm just gonna keep on.
