Savour the drink in the cup

Excellent advice from Erica, and it made me laugh out loud.

There's supposed to be this litmus test of whether you're an optimist or a pessimist, right? It's based on whether you view a glass that's filled 50% as being half-full or half-empty. I've never been particularly concerned about quantity, though, so it all seems completely random and irrelevant to me. What I want to know is what's in the glass. Is it good? Will I like it? Is it mmmm or yuck? I think that makes me more qualitative than quantitative, if those are even words. They didn't get underlined, so I must be okay... although I'm a bit worried that I might be misusing "litmus test". I'm going to hit publish before I get all sidetracked looking up references...
