5 - Why are optimists taken for granted?

I haven't felt very motivated to write anything these past few days... So I'm getting these 3 discussions out of the way in one night.

I have always been the "fun" girl. Spotlight of attention, life of the party, master of great ideas and the girl who always got invited to everything. I am funny, smart, people love to spend time with me, and I'm always the bubbly optimistic person who's always in a good mood.
And, like any normal person, I have bad days. Most of which I keep to myself. Ignore phone calls to go out, text message people to say I'm busy or already have plans, you get the idea.
But this past Thursday, Turkey Day, HORRIBLE. So horrible that I am still recuperating from it, and it's Sunday. I have spent everyday since then in bed, with my cell phone off, pretending that I do not exist. I check my voicemail periodically (still looking for work, you know) and what do you know, the usual voicemail...
"Your phone is off... why is your phone off? Your phone is never ever off..."
Or from smart people who have been around a while...
"I called to see if you wanted to go out. You might be in a bad mood. If you are call me and let me know, I'll make plans some other time"
"Ut oh, your phone is off... Does that mean you're in a bad mood?? Did something happen? Can you call me please... I don't like it when you don't answer. What is your cell phone for if you don't answer it?"

I could go off on a million things with voicemail like these....

1. I'm allowed bad moods okay
2. Oh god my phone is off, has hell frozen over? I think not.
3. I have a cell phone as a mobile device. Not as a "I'm available to your needs whenever you'd like, 24/7/365
4. What the hell would you do with yourself if cell phones didn't exist?????

Why am I not allowed bad moods? Why aren't I allowed to have bad days? Why am I getting voicemail of people trying to avoid me, not wanting to make plans? Where is the voicemail that says, "Do you need me to bring you anything? Do you need someone to talk to?"

Why do people take me for granted just because I'm always happy and always fun to be around... What are you all 'fair weather friends'? I know you better than that... You're better than that. I'm always there for you... Where's MY soup damn it. Where's my ridiculous eCard? Instead I hear "Oh you're no fun... I'll call you later."

Thanks for taking the time out of your day. Strokers.
