not actually that grumpy

To be honest I think I'm actually pretty cheerful, but for whatever reason I tend to start ranting whenever I get in front of a keyboard. I sorta hate coming across as the bitter/spiteful person I may present, but on the other hand I usually feel better after I hit the "submit" button.

Hmm, that's an interesting reference.

I don't think you come off as at all grumpy, or, for that matter, anything but cheerful and industrious, on livejournal. Maybe you just have higher standard than the rest of us for non-grumpiness?

legolas	I too wouldn't particularly think of grumpiness to describe your average post. But hay, it's your journal, put a notice up that you aren't normally grumpy, but love to rant here, and feel liberated to do so ;-)

graydon	I don't think you come across as grumpy. But then, I don't think I come across as grumpy either, and yet I keep finding friends who have somehow got the impression that I'm an incurable grump. So I would guess that my grumpometer is completely out of order.

flipzagging	I hadn't noticed any grumpiness, unless those are locked to a smaller circle of friends. But even if you are, it's par for the course -- I don't know anybody who posts Livejournals that are anything like their real mood cycle.
