Dear Optimists,
I have nothing to say today. My lips are sealed.
Ha! My fiancee wishes!

Today
Dear Optimists,
There’s nothing like defeating a video game, right? I just beat all of the zombies in Rebuild 2, an online game I happen to love. I saved 99 people and defeated every zombie in the town to make it safe.
I’m a hero.
What did YOU accomplish today?
Love,
Den
P.S. In case you missed it, this post was seething with sarcasm.
Know What I Love?
Dear Optimists,
Know what I love? Bendy straws. You know the ones. They..ahem…bend? Something about them always makes the drink more fun.
This has been a random post.
Love,
Den
P.S. Tell me something random that YOU like!
Questionnare
Dear Optimists,
The other night I found one of those silly questionnares that one always write, but noone ever reads. Except the fact that I did read it. And now you have to, too.
And only because I had the stupidest and most sarcastic answers known to man:
No doubt about it – I must have had a laugh when writing that stuff down!
What are your answers to the exact same questions?
Love,
Nadia.
EBooks? EBooks!
Dear Optimists,
I don’t love Kindle, Nook or anything else. For me, an English major, my love of the novel, the feel of the paper and turning of the page itself are all romantic in some way. Sure I love playing games on my iPad, and using programs on it, but I just can’t bring myself to read on one.
As much as I don’t love e-readers, I found one wonderful use for them. It’s easier to carry one around than a book when you’re reading a Stephen King novel. š
Love,
Den
What’s That Smell?
Dear Optimists,
Elevators are often an uncomfortable place for me. I really appreciate my personalĀ space, and always try to give everyone else around me as much space as possible as well. Usually, I find most other people willingĀ to do the same.
One morning this week, I was heading up to my office on the elevator with about five other people. No one was saying a word, and we all just watched the numbers climb up, waiting for our respective floors, and prepping ourselves for the onset of a new work day. After a few seconds, a woman in the elevator opened up her bag and pulled out an onion bagel. I’m not sure if you’ve ever been in an elevator filled with the smell of onion bagel before or not, but it can be somewhat overpowering…especially early in the morning. She tookĀ a couple ofĀ bites, and we all stood in silence, even more anxious for the elevator to reach our floor.
Suddenly, the man standing behind me slowly leaned forward, stuck his nose in my hairĀ and full-on sniffed it! I immediately thought,Ā “Whaaaa?! Did that just happen?!”Ā I didn’t move a muscle. The elevator doors opened on the floor just before mine. He casually moved past me, and walked towards his office like nothing had happened. I looked at the girl next to me and we both burst out laughing.
Hey, at least that means my hair smells better than onion bagels, right?

An Odd Thing to See in a Car
Dear Optimists,
Driving home from the mall (yes the same mall trip I wrote about yesterday) I looked in the car next to us and it was full of old people.
No, that’s not the funny part. The funny part was that in the back seat a little old lady was sitting on another old lady’s lap. The look on her face was one of misery. Although the one on bottom was laughing.
Hilarious.
Love,
Den
Relax, Dude

Guest Post: 21 Going on 12
Dear Optimists,
Itās funny when people underestimate your age. I personally like it, but it gets so awkward when people over-underestimate it! Iām 21 already, but have got myself mistaken as a 12-year-old a lot; dozens of times actually!!
I will never forget two years ago, while shopping with my mom, a man of my fatherās age came by and asked me to try a jacketā¦ he said, āWould you please try this? Itās for my daughter, sheās of your age, 12 years.ā Then he patted my shoulder, thinking I was a 12-year-old kid!! I swear, I couldnāt utter a word; I silently pulled myself out, leaving him wondering what his mistake was! My mother couldnāt stop laughing when I told her!!
I also remember when I missed my flight last year and the woman at the check-in desk called the plane crew telling them they have left a 12 year-old child alone at the airport!!

P.S: My sister insisted on drawing me that tiny; sheās younger, yet taller than I! If I were good with drawing I wouldāve drawn myself taller!
Shadow Puppets
Dear Optimists,
Last week the gal and I were driving to a friend’s house for a little get together and the sun was setting, creating this really cool shadow of us in front of the car. I had to point it out to her.
“Look at how cool our shadow looks!”
As she looked I decided to wave. She giggled.
It’s the little things.
Love,
Den
