		 I'm with Alex.  "That 8 ounce glass has 4 ounces of liquid in it."  I suppose "realist" is the best word, as opposed to either "optimist" or "pessimist."  Though a lot of people seem to equate that with pessimism or fatalism, which is entirely untrue.  I'm happy 99% of the time, what's in the glass has little to do with my state of mind.
