Topic: What mood are you in?

[ChezGiven]

A really good one. 

Yes, well, not so f***ing clever now though

[Rocker]

Good mood this morning. Day off work, birthday, and my girlfriend is coming around at one, and I'm going to get my present 

[GG]

Fantastic. I've been feeling really sick all morning, just puked the whole lot up and feel much better for it. 

[GG]

Oh, and Tums taste bloody great.

[Subterranean homesick Gammy]

In smashing form at the mo. I'm off to Thailand next Tuesday for 2-3 months & then off to Cairns, Australia for minimum 12 months. Can't f*cking wait man 

[BlufPurdi]

Extremely optimistic and happy.  Got a house lined up, got a promotion on the cards, with a baby on the way and I got my Alien. 

Nonetheless, I'm knackered and wanting a holiday.

I've decided I'm going to be aggressive and confrontational this afternoon.

At work obviously - not on here.

Fantastic mood. I just woke up 20 minutes ago and I have nothing to do.

Lovely. And for the next 3 months, I'll wake up with the same feeling

I hate you.

[La Parka]

Nervous, just sent off my job application. Really going to need a job in about 4 months time.

[Happy Face]

I'm so lethargic I've been doing my job rather than posting.  That got so dull I had to read some old funnies for a bit of a cheer up....

Every year, English teachers from across the country submit their
collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays.
These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of teachers across the country.

Here are last year's winners.....
1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently
compressed by a Thigh Master.

2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like
underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.

3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse, without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. coli, and he was
room-temperature Canadian beef.

5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.

7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.

8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly
surcharge-free ATM machine.

9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling
ball wouldn't.

10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled
with vegetable soup.

11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie,
surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy
comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.

12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.

13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the
grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left
Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that
resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.

16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant and she was the East
River.

18. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one
that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.

19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.

20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this
plan just might work.

21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating
for a while.

22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.

23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg
behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.

24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with
power tools.

25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.

I'm in a pretty f***ing miserable mood tbh.

WHORE!

[colinmk]

I'm p*ssed off cause I have a cold.

[GM]

Grouchy because life keeps kicking me in the proverbials. And Role Model, I mean proper problems.

[Syrette]

And Role Model, I mean proper problems.

Took your time. Didn't realise I had to have "proper problems" (as if you actually know any of my issues/anything about me) to feel a bit lame.

[Cajun]

My problem is and always has been, I really don't give a f***.

If I failed every single one of my exams I honestly don't think I would have given a s***. I have the chance to get numerous qualifications at work all paid for but I really can't be arsed and do the bare minimum with everything. I seem to glide through life trying to take the easy option every time.

Its just what works for me

Thats how i role n all. Cost me a bit when I went to uni but I still got a decent job at the end of it.

All about doing the bare minimum and cutting as many corners as is possible whilst still getting the job done to an acceptable standard.

On the mood side: I'm bored as f***, got work for another 6hrs with some boring c***s and I'm going to Germany for www.southside.de festival on Thurs and I'm counting down the hours

Its like we were seperated at birth 

[Cajun]

Some lass has just offered to pay for me to go on holiday with her!

I turned her down, I am such a good boy

[GM]

Erm, I never said you did, mate.

So why the condescension?

My windows are steaming up too RM!   

[GM]

RM - As you point out I know nowt of your circumstances...so I am sorry about the condescension - maybe I've lost perspective but when someone has s**** going on in all areas of their life it tends to colour their view on the world at large a bit.

Sorry if I condescended upon you, I agree it was entirely uncalled for.

Whatever is getting you down I hope it's readily fixable...and not for example the discovery of a lifelong medical issue that you're now struggling to get your head around, or even (in addition) a further medical diagnosis that regardless of the aforementioned issue will almost certainly mean your life is going to be shorter than you'd hoped for anyway, or that your financial situation is teetering on the brink of disaster through no fault of your own, or that you're being dragged through the courts for months on end at the mercy of incompetent and inept judicial system meaning you're life is on hold and you can't make any plans or move forward at all, or that close family  are seriously ill and you're hundreds of miles apart and can't get to see them, or that your job is keeping you awake at night with stress and making you physically sick every morning for weeks on end...

...because that would be s****.

There you go.

[Syrette]

All I've said on this thread is that I'm a bit miserable sometimes and that I'm confused about some things. I've also had confidence issues all my life that can affect me quite a lot. On the other hand I've got a lot of things to be thankful for and things could be a lot worse.

I really don't mean to have a go at you or anything but I can't help but find it unfair and uncalled for when people constantly moan at people for not feeling too great when whatever is getting them down isn't as bad as the issues facing other people. I'm far from depressed or anything, just a bit down at the moment, and why shouldn't I be just because other people have sadly got it worse?

It's a bad analogy but it's like a (random choice) Leeds fan having a go at me for complaining about NUFC issues, just because things could be worse as it is for them. The same for even say a Chelsea or Man Utd fan, might have loads to be thankful for but things can still hurt. Yeah I'm grateful for what I've got but does that mean I've no right to complain? This is a thread entitled "What mood are you in?", and in it I've only posted "confused" and "quite miserable", it's hardly attention or sympathy-seeking, I'm just being honest, and it's obviously quite a common thing for a lot of people.

Again, I'm grateful for what I've got and I'm very sorry to hear of your troubles but I don't think forcing a guilt-trip on someone over the internet who hasn't pretended to have things really bad is fair at all, really.
