I have a problem with both.
See, around my school it can be a bit of a sketchy question to ask, as not only did we deal with the death of Geoffrey this year, one of the most-gone-to churches just lost a member of their youth group to (surprise, surprise) cancer. He was the same age as Geoff, strangely enough.
The second problem that I have is how the hell I'm supposed to answer the question. Generally when it's asked, I'm not in the depths of despair, so I could say "fine" with a clear conscious. But am I really fine? The answer is no. So, I could say, "Well, actually, my life feels like crap because I think that I have depression resulting from my friend's premature death from cancer." However, when a person says something other than the generic answer, it gets people unnerved. So, then comes a lot of uncomfortable questions. *Sigh*

I am suddenly REALLY hungry.

But it's so much fun to not say "fine". I say things like terrible, amazing, get back to me in five minutes and other trippy things that ensue when you are Jonas.
But it's true. What is the point in asking when we know what someone is going to say? Or does everyone just happen to care but nobody is open enough to admit they are feeling like crap?
And when I say I'm not doing so good, people have no idea what to say/do. Sooooo funny to see! That alone pretty much fixes my mood right there. :P
