What is your earliest memory?

Do you consider yourself a pessimist or an optimist?


My earliest memory is being stung in the ear by a bee.


My outlook is pretty similar to Werner Herzog's. Pessimist. Bears fan.

My earliest memory is my dad giving me my first baseball glove.

I used to be a pessimist, but I've been trying hard the last few years to change that, and I believe I'm at a point now where I'm an optimist.

My earliest memory is being pushed to the bottom of the middle of a giant snow pile by my older brother after a big chicago storm in 1977, and thinking that it was going to cave in, that I was going to die, and that he was an asshole.

I am a pessimist, I guess

Earliest memory is of feeding ducks througha fence in a park that I used to live near, but it got concreted over and then turned into a Crown Green Bowls Lawn type of thing and the ducks were moved on.

I never recovered.

Earliest memory is when i was 2.5 i saw a bunch of raccoons in my back yard and ran upstairs yelling to my parents, "wolfs! Wolfs are in da yard!"

Optimist. Always hoping the canine i spot is an alpha.

When I was about 4 or 5 I was at Great America with my family. I end up getting lost and go up to some worker to help me find my parents. She takes me to this area where all the workers were taking a break to ask if somebody would take me to the staging area where they hold lost children. I just remember all of the different high school girls who were working there at the time fighting over who would take me to the place. 27 years later and I can't get one girl to go to dinner with me.

Pessimist Forever.

I was either 3 or 4. Snow White was on in the background. Don't remember everything else. Also remember walking to my aunts in the middle of the night. Not sure what came first. I try to stay positive, but some days...

Earliest memory is taking home my first dog in the car. I miss that dog...

I'm a pessimist because I realize that many of the people here vote, and are representative of the shit hole thinking that now infects this country. :)

Earliest memory..I was 2 shortly before three and I was in a shopping cart at Jewel with my mom buying baby food. That's all I got.


For me it depends on the subject. Sports I'm generally very pessimistic. Other things I'm quite optimistic about concerning things in my personal life.

Earliest memory....

It was dawn on the 3rd day of an uninterrupted throwdown between me and what would turn out to be my life long nemesis.... both me and my opponent were battered and bruised..... exhausted, but unwilling to give ground out of sheer spite for one another.

We engaged for what seemed like the thousandth time and both landed a flurry of blows which should have sent one of us reeling, but neither of us would quit.... not this day, not after all we had given to win this fight.

As we disengaged I spotted a nearby rock and went for it.... my opponent was a moment too late in realizing my intentions.

I grabbed the rock and swung with everything I had and my opponent came rushing in to the blow adding momentum to the titanic clash.

He went down with a crash.... bloodied but still alive.... I held the rock and stood over him, considering whether to finally end his miserable excuse of an existence, but I relented.... I left him there beaten and broken..... it was probably the single biggest mistake I have ever made because he returned to haunt me a few months ago....

In Chase Plaza this Pigeon-Demon and his friends now lie in ambush for me every minute of everyday....

Swimming lessons when I was about two. I was absolutely fucking horrified being dunked under water by a stranger. I don't know which of my parents had that bright idea, probably my dad.
