Oh I like Poppy’s line.

Mine is : “There is no sure for stupid.”

Usually muttered while walking away from said idiot.

I don’t have to wonder. I’m often told how moody or how bitchy I am… when I’m in a perfectly GOOD mood. Go figure.

You should email me your xbox gamertag and I’ll add you!

Isn’t Poppy a trip?  Just love what flies out of that mouth.  Good for you on the shopping trip...never pay retail, my love.  Never.  It is the first rule of Princess shopping.

CP.

I don’t wonder if people think I’m moodier than I think I am.  I KNOW that people think I’m moodier than I KNOW I am.

Though I can’t tell you if you’re moody or not because I don’t know you well enough to make that judgment, I will say this:  While sometimes there are things we don’t realize about ourselves until they’re pointed out to us by others, in the majority of cases, I think we know ourselves better than anyone else does.

I can think of a few possible reasons why people would call you moody:

1. They’re of the opinion that reasonable reactions to outside circumstances qualifies as moodiness.  Unless your mood vacillates based on trivial events, I don’t think it’s fair to call you moody just because your mood changed, particularly if the degree of change is proportionate to the event.  For example, if someone starts the day in a cheerful mood, but then gets into a bad car accident, I wouldn’t call their change in disposition “moodiness.” Actually, I’d be worried if they were still smiling after the accident.

2.  If you’re the type of person who doesn’t discuss your problems with others, people who see you looking angry or depressed may just attribute it to moodiness for lack of a better explanation--especially if you later find or do something that will make you happier.  To them this looks like you were randomly upset one minute and then randomly happy the next.  This is my problem.  Although I’m usually pretty good at hiding the fact that I’m upset in the first place, there is a point where it begins to show in my demeanor, and that’s when I get called moody.  In my opinion, it’s a good thing that you make the conscious decision and effort to improve your mood, regardless of what people say about your mood upswing.

3.  You are moody.  That might be true if you often can’t pinpoint the reason your mood has changed, or if minor events have a bigger impact on your mood than they should.  For example, when the morons at Dunkin Donuts screw up your iced vanilla latte at the beginning of your work day, do you go through the rest of the day assaulting every co-worker who gets on your nerves or trashing the homes of annoying patients?

No?  Then I think you’re alright! 

I only have one mood, and that’s happy.  I don’t really get upset or depressed, so I know I don’t flip flop at all.

I am moodier than people think I am. But I deal with babies all day and I have to wear my “happy face”. I don’t get alot of time with my family after they get home from work so I TRY to be nice then too.

Sweetheart, anything anyone says here about whether or not you are moody is worth shit compared to The Steff’s opinion.  She gets to see you, unedited - and not in self-selected snap shots.

And, I think I am actually MOODIER than people realize.  There is a lot of shit going on in my head that a lot of people never hear.  Thank God.

That’s what I get like when I’m PMSing… welcome to my world

Allow me to clarify, since I don’t prefer to take credit for other people’s work, that the quote is from a list I found somewhere.  I’ve never actually said that phrase to anyone.

But, I have said, “failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part” which (if you read between the lines) is kinda equivalent.

And, how the hell did I miss out on this Steff stuff?  Is that why you IMd me a few days ago???!????

PS - You are moody.  But, that’s not a bad thing.

I used to have that quote on my yahoo profile like 7 years ago.  Actually it was a little banner pic.  I haven’t looked at my yahoo profile in a while, but I think the one on there now says, “do I look like a freaking people person?”

Moody is kind of a catchall phrase.  I am not moody.  If I wake up bitchy, I’ll be bitchy all day.  If I wake up happy, I’ll be happy all day unless something stupid happens but then I pretty much go right back to happy with ease.

Geekman is moody...his mood changes over the course of a day.

I think lots of people think that people like me are moody too.

You seem pretty normal to me...as in you seem like me...you have daily moods not minute by minute moods.

I still think you’re ordinary and normal.  And while you might be going, “OMG!  Ordinary?  Normal?!” I’m thinking, I really like ordinary and normal.

Course, I like crazy and dsyfunctional too...it’s all good.

I didn’t choose food over you.  I told you I was about to go get food and you said “see ya.” (sigh)

Your mood at the airport didn’t change.  I agree with Miss Ann that your daily mood changes.  And that’s a good thing.

Geekman is moody but I don’t think he’s unstable.  He’s just...a Cancer.

Which you are and which I have on my ascendant.

We’re all fucked.

Yeah, I have that saying on a tee-shirt.

Got it last xmas.
