I made a slight improvement on the My Mind page. Now instead of only having a link at the top to view "Previous Month" there are now links at the top and bottom to view previous or next month and it names them. e.g. December 2009

I don't have a ton of pet peeves, and in general I try to be a patient, understanding person, but one of my pet peeves is people who have to bring every part of the conversation back to themself.

A prime example of this is when someone shares something that is upsetting them (e.g. lost their wallet, failed a test, got dumped, ...) and the person they are talking to says, "well, if it makes you feel any better..." and they follow that with something bad that has happened to them recently (e.g. "I lost my favorite hat," "I gained 10 pounds over the holiday," "I'm narcissistic to the point of no return.")

So next time someone shares something unfortunate with you, DO NOT try to ONE UP them in the form of fake sympathy. Ask them about it. Give them a hug. But do not immediately force the conversation back on your own problems/self.

Of course if you're reading my blog, you're probably way too cool to do anything like that anyway :)
