Being an adult is boring.

I am making supper (sausage, potatoes, and corn, otherwise known as meat, starch, and starch. SO TASTY), which involves Potatoes O'Brien, which come in an easy-open freezer bag... that just ripped down the middle and spilled 1/4 of its contents on the floor.

I just looked at it and said, "Okay then!" and swept it up.

I feel cheated out of my temper tantrum.

You're like a super adult, because my mom and I would not be that calm. We wouldn't have a tantrum but there would be some angry words, possibly unsafe for children to hear, especially from me. Guess we're a little too high-strung? Haha. Good for you. Not as fun as throwing a fit but easier on the body. *applauds*

Of course, I don't know how to really relax, so that could be part of my problem.

Cheer up. I'm sure some fandom kerfuffle will pop up and allow you an extremely satisfying tantrum.

Hee! Were you alone, 'cause being alone ruins a good tantrum. Having someone else hear you and know that you're being put upon is half the fun of throwing a fit. When you're by yourself, it's like - meh, whatever!

Sorry about your supper, though. Actually sounds quite good! *goes off to scrounge in the kitchen*

Ha!
I think that's how I'd feel too. Odd.

Better to throw potatoes on the floor than a pizza cutter as I did while preparing dinner...

That reminds me that I forgot sweet potatoes at the market *again* which makes me sad.

Aw, look at you being all calm.

Sometimes you hit those "laugh or cry" moments -- and end up laughing.

Yesterday I tripped over a cat for the eighteenth time in an hour and screamed at it -- I mean, actually screamed. "Okay, then" would have been a much better response. (Yeah, I've been stressed.)

You're cute and I really miss talking to you. We need to meet for an (for me late-night) chatting session. Seriously, I'm in withdrawal. TALK TO ME! *wink*
