Expectations and Surprises

So check this shit out. Something happened to me recently that I was sooooooooooo NOT expecting and it's kind of taken me by surprise.... well, more than kind of. But that's not really a bad thing. Actually maybe it is, I'm undecided. Ask me one minute and I'll say goodness no, not bad at all. Ask me the next minute and I'll freak right the fuck out. :D

Seriously though, I rather enjoy unexpected surprises. Obviously not so much the bad ones, but the good ones are fun sometimes. There's something to be said for an incident or revelation that takes us completely by surprise, especially when the outcome is good. Now, I'm not sure at the present time if the outcome will be good or not. Truth be told I'm trying my damndest not to worry about the outcome. You know, enjoying the moment and all that tosh.

I was curious about what the people around me really think about unexpected surprises and what happens when they expect one thing, but get another. I was, once again, surprised by what I heard. Most of the people I asked said they didn't really like surprises. Goodness gracious, me oh my, who on earth doesn't like surprises? (That's what I was thinking anyway.) Some of them justified it as they'd rather know everything that is going to happen (BORING!) or that they would worry too much about the outcome of a certain situation (which to a certain extent I can understand). But really? Not liking surprises? Ridiculous.

No matter what the surprise is, (or if you ask some people only the good ones apply to this) how can you not like it? I don't know. Like I said before, one minute I have one opinion, the next another. Maybe if I'd waited an hour or so to write this it would have been a completely different post. :D
