Absence of Angst

I was told this weekend that I am not sad enough.  Apparently, if I want to be a real writer, I must figure out how to be depressed.

I'll let you be the judge of whether I am capable of gloom and doom.  Here are some topics that make me sad:

1.  Finishing the last bite of the very last scoop of ice cream in my house.

2.  John Edwards being a lying, cheating, but still handsome, pond scum impersonator.

3.  I still get weepy over the end of the series: Star Trek the Next Generation.  Why, oh why, did it have to end?

4.  It's sad that people make fun of me because I love Star Trek.

5.  My boyfriend doesn't buy me enough presents.  Dang him.

That's it.  I'm out.  Are you feeling sorry for me yet?

I don't have angst either. Even my dark stories where everyone dies are written while I'm in a happy mood. But as long as no one knows that, I'm fine.
