I'm in an extraordinarily pissy mood today...why? FRICKIN' BECAUSE, OKAY!!!??? But it got me thinking...I have certain habits when I'm in a bad mood, things I like to do to work out that tension. Political debate pretty much goes out the window, so I avoid that. Either I a) clean while listening to NWA (I also have a tendency to toss way too much in the garbage in this mood...what? A spatula? What the hell do I need a spatula for!!?? IN THE GARBAGE MOFO!) or I b) get annoying business over with, like having to fight with my bank over them holding my cheques.

But I can't find my NWA, and the banks are closed..what to do, what to do???

So what are your pissy mood habits? Maybe it's time for something new...

I get stoned and doctor comic books.

Freakit and wouldn't you know I've got no supply right now...though I still wouldn't doctor comic books. Maybe do some terrible stick-people acid rants though...

I believe this is code for PMS ;)

I also believe I may be poking the proverbial lioness with the above sentence. Bury me on the moon.

I tend to play something on the playstation that allows me to carry out acts of considerable violence against things. Hitman 2 is good. But when I'm in college and away from my playstation I play doom with god mode and all weapons. Pixellated massacres ensue.

I read. It calms me down. Stops me breaking my brother.

You can read when you're pissy? Oh I really can't. The fuming fogs up my glasses.

I believe this is code for PMS ;) It's not code for anything goddamn it! PMS is a week and a half away!

Actually this might be a good idea. I don't have any games with massive and gory violence unfortunately, but I have been looking for a reason to reinstall the Frozen Throne, and perhaps all the hording and fighting will smooth me out.

I'd rather play GTA and run over cops though.

i play my guitar. tends to have a levelling effect on me, especially when i play the stuff i know from memory, reading music tends to frustrate me though.

There you go Neesika. Sing. Sing and play guitar. We know you can...

In my mood? Death metal sounds really weird on nylon strings.

Ha, but this might be the best suggestion yet. I'll change all the love songs to joyful dirges post-massacre.

i listen to some music, or go out, that almost always brings me in a good mood.

try writing The Great American Novel :rolleyes:

That's actually less violence than I expected.

Yes, GTA is always good for mega-violence. I can't remember where I got it, but I have a pack with doom 1 and 2, and about 60 custom maps. I wonder if I could attach it for you. It is shareware after all.

Actually, I have to go to college. Sorries.

I find someone sexy-smart and give 'em sexual gratification right away.

Could always go work out.

Bad mood...how do you work your mojo?
I don't. I just wait until it goes away, which it always does.

*is waiting for it to go away as we speak*

Grumble.

I find someone sexy-smart and give 'em sexual gratification right away.

It's extremely rare I'd want to be a sadist, but this is one of those times. Not sure how gratifying that would be to the average schmoe.

I don't. I just wait until it goes away, which it always does.

*is waiting for it to go away as we speak*

Grumble.

Misery loves company, hon. Grumbling isn't much my style at the moment. I'm at the screaming in rage point. We need a bloodthirsty smiley.

Could always go work out.

*beats the hell out of you for that entirely too practical suggestion*

Turn on CBC radio. Potter around the kitchen and make some nice food.

Then again, I happen to think that CBC radio and cooking (in conjunction)solve every problem on earth. others dissagree.

It's extremely rare I'd want to be a sadist, but this is one of those times. Not sure how gratifying that would be to the average schmoe.

Maybe not so much the average schmoe, but there's lots of people in positions of authority who'd just love to fall into line for the right domme.

Oh, a Domme I'm not. I'd be too inclined, in these rare moments of totally unreasonable anger, to inflict actual damage. I'd throw the profession into disrepute.

Play violent video games. Nothing like playing Doom on "Extra Chunky" mode. ;)

Or take my bow to the range and practice bullseyes.

Mrowr!

Hehehehe, video games as therapy...I'm leaning this way, for sure. Even the idea of strumming my guitar p*sses me off.

I used to go shoot up old cars and assorted other innocent detritus on the back forty, but alas, such pursuits are frowned up on in the city. There is a shooting range at the West Edmonton Mall...but I just don't think it's the same. They don't let you bring in shotguns :(

Why don't you just scream into your pillow?

Because the pillow doesn't scream back or beg for mercy.

(and my throat is already raw from trying)

*beats the hell out of you for that entirely too practical suggestion*

I'm weak and defenceless. :( Tbh, I tried to start working out to instill a sense of discipline in myself and to make myself look bigger (I have a thick neck and thick legs, so I already look big), but I don't think it's working out. :P

Go out for a walk, and if it's way too cold out, go to malls. It's great seeing smiles on other peoples' faces :) .

Are you freakin' kidding? I want to see other people smiling and happy when I literally feel like ripping some random person's face off? Are you nuts!!?? It would be like teasing a starving lioness with raw, bloody meat!

I think your bad moods are (thankfully) not like mine. Be very happy.

Actually, I tried the screaming thing for the first time ever last week. Not into the pillow, either, but really loudly in the car on the way to work when I was already pissed like hell about something else and just knew it was going to get so much worse once I got to the office.

Didn't work, I'm sad to report. In fact, it made it worse, the sheer sound of it making me even madder.

The moral of the story: movies lie to us.

Well yeah, think about it...when has a screaming match ever DEescalated people? Sheesh.


OOoooh...ACDC's Back in Black just came on, and it's not quite as good as NWA's 'straight outta compton', but it's doing something good...

Ok then, I suppose this means that your only remaining choice is to pick a fight in a bar. Your sheer fury can get you through it I'm sure.

This would indicate everything I thought I knew in anger reduction was a lie! :eek:

I suppose this would leave... uh, taking slow steady breaths? No one will be begging for mercy but you can't have everything. :p

Ok then, I suppose this means that your only remaining choice is to pick a fight in a bar. Your sheer fury can get you through it I'm sure. This was my coping strategy for years. I just need someone to babysit so I can go out and brawl. Sheer fury always got me through it before :D

Getting some release through violent video games seems to work for me. Something with loud bangs - Max Payne, GTA 3 San Andreas, stuff like that. Or watching a semi-violent movie (not too violent, but something with a lot of shootouts, not fist fights or a high level of blood and gore. Again it's the noise that helps me)

Music also helps... As does role-playing games [/geek]

And if all else fails:
Banjo! :)

This isn't meant as a joke, or something nasty - but if you have a boyfriend, have you tried sex (to get over bad moods)?

oooo, bad mood sex. with ropes, and blindfolds, and...
hey, goddamnit, why'd you throw out that spatula. Hairbrush is always fun though. Mine has a curve to it. when you get it right, stings like crazy, but get it wrong and there's no fun to be had. At least, that's what I get told :)

You never know, maybe the guy is kinky.

I'm a fan of the hairbrush yes:) And there's always fun to be had.

Sex is not (unfortunately) an option right now. Probably part of why I'm so damn cranky.

You never know, maybe the guy is kinky.

You have no idea.

I'm lucky with anger, I only have quite frankly psychotic outbursts of anger maybe once or twice per year and am capable of restraining myself from flying off the handle and doing someone some serious damage. What always works for me is wandering around somewhere quiet (noise stresses me out, ever since childhood).

I listen to music.

I've got it cranked. It's keeping me from going totally insane, but that's it.

I wish someone would tell me they changed the sheets :D

*emerges from a post birthday hangover*

What's this about hairbrushes now?

Hahahaha, nothing, wasn't mentioned, hmmm...sorry?

*at least your hangover has a legit reason*

So what are your pissy mood habits? Maybe it's time for something new...I listen to music.

Yeah it's weird...sometimes a lot of noise helps, and sometimes the slightest amount is grating beyond belief.

By the way, I have no idea why this is so, but since you started posting, I realised I really like the word 'treacle'. It's fun to say for some reason.

Hahahaha, nothing, wasn't mentioned, hmmm...sorry?

*at least your hangover has a legit reason*

what's the expression...old enough to be able to do what I did, not old enough to know better?

Jolt going BOOM isn't helping any!

you're not nearly cute enough.

Wait...so someone exceptionally cute could take a hairbrush to you?

*ponders*

*Spanks*

you're not nearly cute enough.

Call Paypal and fight with them.

it would take a lot more than that.

They do it just to piss you off.


And by you I mean all of us.:mad:

it would take a lot more than that.

But you admit it's a possibility. I'm strangely intrigued.

Call Paypal and fight with them.

Oh, I had enough fun trying to cancel a porn subscription, so I think I'm good.

So what are your pissy mood habits? Maybe it's time for something new...

Habits? I usually say things that shouldn't be said. Usually, though, I recognize the mood coming on and go for a run. If I double the usual distance, or include some hills, I come back to tired to aggravate anyone else.

But you admit it's a possibility. I'm strangely intrigued.

*shrug* we would all do things that we would normally not do, if the motivation was proper.

Anything is possible if I have enough reason to do it.

I've been taking a nap. Neesika, did you find an outlet for your rage yet - or are we still on a countdown to implosion, here?

And no, I haven't bothered reading the bits of the thread I've missed. Internet sluggish. Still half-asleep. Need coffee, but don't have any.

I've been cleaning like mad, but no, the rage hasn't subsided. Think I'll go out for a while, drop the kids off, and find someone to smoke some of BC's finest with. If I'm lucky, that person will agree to get into a fist fight with me :D Of course, I realise at that point we'll both be too unsteady to connect.

Better idea:

get me a sandwich

Things going to pieces from the sheer force of my rage is always fun. And if you can't mentally will things to break, you could always throw them.

Ah, I see. You are offering yourself up as an outlet for my rage? I need a straight razor.

I love the sound of breaking glass.

I hate cleaning up broken glass.

It's a conundrum.

Last night I read some things that upset me, so I paced up and down until about half twelve in the morning and then wrote down some gibberish.

Ah, I see. You are offering yourself up as an outlet for my rage? I need a straight razor.

Ham and cheese, please. :)

Kill some children...



















....on Grand Theft Auto. Killing children in real life would be wrong. And would make the baby jesus cry.

Ham and cheese, please. :)

Oh, you can eat your sandwich alright, but you'll be eating it bent over a... never mind. No sandwich. Maybe we can just bite each other.

Ham and cheese, please. :)

...with a side-order of sliced testicles, methinks.

If I'm in a sour enough mood, I'll set up playlists with music that's relevant to the specific reason for my bad mood (or lack of such a reason). If that fails, I just remind myself of how I was like back during the episode with my ex and it puts everything back into proportion :)

Hmm...

Have you tried mutilating cardboard with a large knife? Do you have a dart board? Any electronics you don't need? Bubble wrap?

Wait seriously, no sandwich? Aw.

I'd let Brad Pitt beat me up. Even though he's blonde and I have a general rule.

I have been in a bad mood all month, I am about to go through throwing stuff away, because that does make me feel better, I sort it into two piles

trash
Goodwill

I will box up stuff and they will come get it, and 3 months from now I will start to look for something....and not be able to find it, realize that I donated it to Goodwill, buy another, get into a crappy mood a month after that and donate it again... it's a cycle. I think Goodwill is winning.

Today I am going to try to read for a while first.

I think Goodwill is winning. I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. I routinely give our stuff away or throw it out if it really serves no purpose, and then get all pissy when I can't open a wine bottle properly, or flip eggs, or iron. I've been pretty good these past two years with not replacing these things though...and soon my house should be completely empty. Bliss.

I over-react, then sleep, then feel awkward.

*scratches arm*
*coughs*

I get Hershey's chocolate kisses (yes, I know, it's awful, but I'm American and have no taste), potato chips, a pot of tea, a really dreadfully mind-numbing novel, take the phone off the hook and proceed to pig out, rot my mind and ignore everyone until I feel that I can face people without resorting to homicide. Or I throw things.

Nah, because tall guys fight till they're burger. :p

I troll the hell out of online forums. Although I actually do that when not angry as well...it's just more brutal when I'm pissed.

Masturbate. Or make a map in the Warcraft III editor involving a cannon tower and a few hundred peasants, packed into one small area. Either works for me.

Go to the shooting range with an assault rifle.

Try to go on rapid-fire night if at all possible.

WC2 > WC3

WC2 > WC3

The peasants don't explode in fountains of blood in WC2.

Activate my specially God-modded config file on RTW.

Nothing like a huge army, with archers that can shoot all the way to the center of town--using arrows that not only penetrate armor but launch the enemy (like a ballista). Or, for a variation, 8 or 9 units of metallized warhounds set loose inside the enemy walls, with their Defense rating turned up to 50. For noncity combat, invincible horsemen with their charge force jacked up to about 4x normal is a quick 'n dirty way to see some great mood-elevating ownage. It's great to see enemy general units die like peasants!

I enjoy doing that stuff whether I'm pissed or not, but if I'm irked (by something that I can't get rid of just by handling it directly), the total mauling of the hopeless enemy is a great salve.

It really depends why I'm angry. If it's because of some than I usually just lay some violent games or just lay in bed thinking of all the violence that I would want to inflict on them in retribution until I fall asleep.

If its something that's my fault then I just start eating until I'm stuffed and fall asleep.

Generally avoid people and think about happy things.
Or shout expletives in my head. That also works.

I drink beer and watch my name is earl or some other great show for hours and hours. Or load up Just Cause or GTA and massacre police officers. Or listen to Sage Francis. And wank, lots. And then I bitch with my girlfriend and tease and bite her. Then I go to bed and wake up happier.

But I can't find my NWA, and the banks are closed..what to do, what to do???

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/really.gif That looks rather familiar (http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/GermanNightmare/Bored.jpg)!

Anyway, I usually listen to really fast, loud metal. Then again, sometimes, I just feel I need to listen to Seeed and move to da riddim.

I normally order a pizza and watch LOTR for the 200th time.

When annoyed, I swear at inanimate objects for not acting with common sense, throw things around occasionally.

To calm down, I listen to music (but the correct choice is important), play the piano, go for a walk, and generally stay away from others.

You know, I was thinking of looking for that, but then decided it would be quicker to just make a completely new one instead of searching for it? The search functions on Jolt is sloooooooooow!

But hey, you inspired me :p
