extended metaphors
Lately I've been wanting to say:
I'm the sort of optimist who sees the glass as half-empty but is convinced that the waiter's going to come by and top me off* any minute now. Unfortunately, the lack of proactiveness implicit in that statement is accurate as part of the metaphor. Well, maybe it'd be more accurate to say I'm convinced that the waiter's going to stop by any minute now, but I can also see the bar (however faintly) from my seat.
____________
*in the standard sense, not the urbandictionary sense.
