I've Been Bad: I have been taken to task for being so cranky last week. But you see, I am not cranky and sarcastic out of malice. Cranky is my way of keeping all the evil frustrations of life in perspective. If I can laugh at things for being stupid and annoying, then they can't cause me too much distress. Then I get in a better mood. So it's actually a positive thing. You may just have to deal. For the moment, though, I'll lay off.
