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.

I'm as surprised as the next person, really. I've gotten more upset over dropping butter on the floor than half the supplies for dinner! It's the oddest feeling, I literally feel cheated. I'm definitely high-strung, but my emotions went 'nope, really, we're lazy today. You can just go ahead and clean that up' lol

BTW I haven't forgotten your awesome music meme--I've actually set myself up treats for reaching word count goals on Big Bang given that I have 15,000 words and need over 40,000, hah! Plus I'm sure everyone will be sick of hearing about it and never, ever want to read it omg *ball of stress*, and I think that's my 20,000! Hee.

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

Fandom kerfuffles always send me</i< into a tizzy, that's for sure. Gabrielle

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*

Yeah, I was alone, but that's never stopped me in the past, hah. I have found that the mere process of being angry is quite satisfying, though that severely disturbs (read: like, he's been actually hurt by the idea, before) my husband, which kind of takes the fun out of it a little.

I hope your food was good!

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

Hehe. When I was little I thought adults were all cool and stuff. Now I know we're just as baffled as the kids are *facepalm*

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.

Eeek pizza cutter. Ooh sweet potatoes.

Wow, I'm articulate today!

Aw, look at you being all calm.

[identity profile] darsynia.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 05:35 am (UTC)(link)
Haha thank you! I wanna be all FILM AT ELEVEN but I've been oddly sedate lately. Probably all the gluing to the computer writing craziness. Sucks out all my will to be pissy.

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*

[identity profile] darsynia.livejournal.com 2008-06-30 01:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Aww! I miss talking to you too! I wish I wasn't so crazy with this story stuff but it's so my own fault so I should stop complaining.

If I definitely don't get a chance to talk to you before the 15th of July, it'll shift into high priority (now till the 10th, Big Bang preparations, 10-13, Shore Leave & decompress from Shore Leave, 13-15, friends visiting from NC), I promise!
