moody?

sleepy and beautiful

Hmm. I know I sounded like I was way up on a high horse on the other forum, but I really don't know how to phrase it any more bluntly and honestly, even though if it were said to me in that manner it would probably tick me off to hell because it reads so condescendingly though it's not really intended that way.....

Why does language and communication have to be so complicated.

And why the hell do I feel sympathetic to the twit...meh, probably because on other topics I sometimes still sound like her, though I at least tend to realize the consequences of my phrasing, whereas she seems shocked and confused and angry....when it should be obvious that her mode of posting is going to generate a bitchy response from people.

Yeah, I read it. She seems to think that she's coming across as reasonable when what she's really doing is being condescending to us ignorant peasants who are too stupid to accept her point. I wonder if she's gotten a warning yet.

Here on the homefront, Skywise is fit to be tied. He's trying to install the new sump pump because water is already coming into the Guest House basement. He says he needs about 2 hours to do the job because of the way the pump is made.
He's supposed to leave for work in half an hour....

I'm probably adding fuel to the fire, but I PMed her (in a much nicer tone than on the thread). I did let her know that under other circumstances we'd probably both have gotten reprimanded but that the server upgrade probably has the moderators preoccupied.

Sometimes I can't leave things well enough alone....but maybe it's phrased in a way that she'll think about it.

*sigh* Provided that she can think at this point and not just emote. If she's kicked over into pure "defensive mode" there's no reaching her.

Yes. No response from her yet, which may mean she deleted it or that she's trying to come up with a clever way of turning it back at me, but on the other hand, maybe.

Yeah I'm moody. Not sure where though. I just know I'm sore, tired, and not feeling so hot.

Having one of those days when I wonder why I bother to keep trying.
Fighting the feeling but I think it's a losing battle, at least for today.
Maybe tomorrow will be better......

I know how ya feel Penth.

Ditto.

In an ok mood despite the fact T. couldn't come by.

Not in a great mood. Not in a bad mood. Just blah.

just woke up a little while ago so my mood hasnt started yet.

Hormones are interesting. Frustrating. Confusing.

Biological clock is apparently giving me a major kick. Interesting or someone who is intellectually militantly against having children and only slightly less adverse (emotionally) to being in the mere presence of children under more usual circumstances.

The media playing up the situation in Haiti with all the children in need of homes and family doesn't help.

Feeling a little more emotionally understanding of the whole "baby fever" thing, even if intellectually I still can't get my mind around it (in spite of currently experiencing it).

Hormones DO tend to override all other considerations as evidenced by the number of people who have children who REALLY shouldn't have them!
My sympathies on your current hormonal status. I'm several years past the baby-making stage and I STILL think about having another one....
Which we SO don't need!

Yeah, at this point in my life, I wouldn't consider myself emotionally stable enough to be among the people who "hold" have children.

That and I have enough minor congenital....oddities if not outright defects, that genetically speaking it would be irresponsible of me to risk having children (assuming I'm biologically even capable....one of the congenital issues is one of the leading causes of a woman being unable to conceive, but by the same token those who are able to are far more likely to have twins....)

However the feeling has been strong enough that I've been looking into adoption rules, regulations, and costs....if my moods stabilize sufficiently within the next several years, there's so many kids in need of a good home....

I'm anti-social everyday Penth. My mood today is somewhere between feeling icky and blah.

People always mistake my shy, anti social behavior as depression
Get real tiresome always having someone try and cheer you up when you aren't down in the first place.
