Yes, I see the irony.

Still...I feel like lately people are complaining all the time about things they should be enjoying; and I am including myself in this.

I'm doing a play in October, and this time around there seems to be more bitching about rehearsals and scheduling and parts and things. I don't know if its because it's our 'new' group, and we're worried about failing or what, but I hardly ever hear people say 'I'm so excited about this! It's going to be fun!' and again, I am including me.

I say to myself, I'm doing this because I want to; it's supposed to be fun. If I don't want to do it, if I'm feeling like it's taking time from things I'd rather be doing, why did I sign up in the first place?'

So I'm resolved to not complain any more. It's supposed to be fun. I need to make it so.

And the other thing I'm sick of people complaining about, and this is less real life than it is 'internet life', is Doctor Who.

My gods, the bitching people in the fandom get up to. It's not supposed to be rocket-science; it's not supposed to be taken seriously at all. It's just supposed to be a romp. A family show. We're supposed to laugh at the jokes, thrill to the adventure, and hide behind the sofa at the aliens. We're not supposed to write a dissertation on the perils of time-travel.

Right. I feel better now.

Off to bed.
