All of the happy moments in my life are average. Sipping coffee, walking through the city streets, being awoken by my cat jumping on my face, playing texas holdem biweekly with the same group of friends. Whenever I seek happiness, I look for averageness.
That said, I haven't managed to aspire to be average either. I'm still pretty ambitious; I'm American.

I think MyLifeisG is only because people are taking it wrong. Many of the posts seem people are trying to convince themselves, "Today, after feeling really bad about myself, I realized that people love me" etc. Whereas really beautiful moments in life don't seem to be about realizations, they're more about appreciation. MyLifeisG today because I had strawberry rhubarb pie. This does not mean my life would have been horrible if I hadn't, or that I came to a great realization about my state of rhubarb-pie lovingness. Of course, writing that sort of sentiment easily isn't an easy thing to do. Positive self-expression without sentimentality, hm? Tough.
Only truly enlightened beings can do it.

Fwhyme seems pretty much the same as fmylife. I see a lot of those sorts of things, and honestly they get old. I've spent nights rolling over myself laughing at fmylife, but nothing keeps me going back to them. Life is ridiculous, and the way things go wrong is too, but I believe I fundamentally don't like the way people think on fmylife. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but after too long reading it it's seems almost like it's encouraging melodrama, like a proanorexia site but based on humor.
Melodrama can be great, but it doesn't hold my attention.
