Describe yourself in just one word.
How are you feeling about things? About yourself? Your country? Your future? Your present? Etc.

Some words that would fit with the spirit of this post are:

Happy
Hopeful
Distraight
Excited
Encouraged
Demoralized

Your get the idea.

So, what word describes you these days?

5. Pissed the fuck off
With a soupçon of "I told you so."

And add to that a certain amount of bile for having to post this twice because Stinky stutter-posted the original.

14. Stoked.
I'm moving in two weeks to take a job as assistant professor at a great university. I have no idea what my apartment looks like, my husband is not coming with me for the first year (so, obviously not super stoked about that part)...but I'm looking forward to what the next few weeks bring.

24. Positive.
Life is a precious, awesome thing, and it is great to be alive. I love it.

People tell me that I am the most positive person they know.

And I am really am extremely positive, in every way except politically.

Years of blatant betrayal by Democrats have worn on me, and have left me somewhat cynical and skeptical of everything in the political realm.

In the political sense, I guess you could call me a realist. I always totally know that republicans will do the absolute worst thing for life on the planet, and I'm always pretty sure that many Democrats will do little to try to stop them.

That formula works a disturbingly high percentage of the time. It is based on the scientific method.

56. weird
Describes me all days. The history of the word is the important part :)

O.E. wyrd "fate, destiny" (n.), lit. "that which comes," from P.Gmc. *wurthis (cf. O.S. wurd, O.H.G. wurt "fate," O.N. urðr "fate, one of the three Norns"), from PIE *wert- "to turn, wind," (cf. Ger. werden, O.E. weorðan "to become"), from base *wer- "to turn, bend" (see versus). For sense development from "turning" to "becoming," cf. phrase turn into "become." The modern sense of weird developed from M.E. use of weird sisters for the three fates or Norns (in Germanic mythology), the goddesses who controlled human destiny. They were usually portrayed as odd or frightening in appearance, as in "Macbeth," which led to the adj. meaning "odd-looking, uncanny," first recorded 1815.
