I Love Being Wrong. [More:]
I love being wrong about new places.
I love being wrong about people who don't believe in the things I do.
I love being wrong about what I can do in the world.

What do you love being wrong about?
I always imagine and prepare for the worst (I'm about to buy an axe for my kitchen. Why? So in case there was ever a fire in my front room, I would be able to break down the back door or wall between my apartment and the storage area for the people upstairs, so I could escape). I'm glad what I generally prepare for doesn't happen.

I love being wrong when I wake up on Saturday morning and think its Friday.

I love being wrong about how long a project will take. I'm usually pretty accurate, and most of the rest of the time I overestimate, which leaves me unexpected free time. And on the rare occasion when I underestimate (which was... all of this week until today), I get a rather nice surge of adrenaline as I think "OMFG HOW AM I GOING TO FINISH THIS ALL ON TIME????" that keeps me from being completely bored.

I love being wrong about how hard or difficult things are going to be. Sometimes the anticipatory grief is tougher than just getting something done.

Yes, fenriq, that's the best!!!!! Realizing you can go back to sleep. Wonderful.

I love being wrong when I think people are mad at me.
I love being wrong when I expect the worst.

I love being wrong when a situation makes me think that people will be general douchebags, and then someone rises about the unmitigated douchebaggery that colours most modern interpersonal transactions. Like when a contractor steps up and actually volunteers to fix something they might get away with not fixing. I love that. Makes me unreasonably happy.

I was wrong once: I thought I had been wrong, but it turned out I was right.

Hey, fuzzygrabies... first comment... welcome! : )

(pink, I'm glad you got the ax... apartments with only one way out are dangerous for many reasons...)
