Although this will surely come as a shock to my friends (well, if I had any. Xanga still says I don't... - well, it did, but they were just self-adverts for parts of Xanga, so they don't count. Got rid of them anyway) I must be the most incurable optimist around. What else could possibly explain the fact that, despite repeated experience, I keep buying things the shops around here (Cambridge, UK) sell as "bagels" despite the fact that they taste absolutely nothing like a bagel should?
I guess some part of my brain must go "Ohhh.... look! Bagels! Maybe they've finally figured out how to make them!" despite the fact that they still haven't done so, and in my more lucid moments, I don't expect they ever will.
It's enough to make a person come unhinged, if you ask me.
