What's with all the grouchy bastards in the lounge?
I finally had a good day where I don't think I will stroke out from a panic attack :shrug:

1. I don't know. I'm a little grumpy too. It's because I'm hungry.
Stomach rumbling hungry. What do you eat at almost 10pm?

2. I just came back from a wonderful performance of Leaves of Grass
Set to music by jazz pianist Fred Hersch and his ensemble. It was quite lovely, and now I feel all cultured and shit. :P

3. You know what's weird?
I was in a great mood today. FANTASTIC. Then as the evening wore on, it just....wore....off.

Rabrrrrrr is in a bad mood, I am, ZombyWoof is, it's like we're all on some kind of weird "mood cycle" together. Hey, we're cycling together! Well, at least that made me smile.

And like Left is Write said, my stomach is growling. I had a bowl of green beans for dinner and well, that just didn't cut it. But I never eat this late.

Grrrrrrr.

8. It happened last Thursday too
Except last Thursday I was already depressed as hell, so I was right there with them.

BB - how are you? How did yesterday go?

10. I won't be able to sleep if I don't soothe the savage beast.
My stomach, that is.

I had a bowl of chicken soup for supper about five hours ago.

Cheerios? Oatmeal? Warm milk? I've got to get to bed soon.

And yet I am hungry as all hell.

14. Peanut butter crackers, just a couple
That should do it. Some skim milk?

Or maybe a handful of cold cereal?

27. And I have to go to the bathroom too.
Does it make you grouchy when your bladder is full and your stomach is empty and you're too damn lazy to get off the freaking chair and DO something about it?

46. But how cool will it be for you and misunderestimator??
And have you worked out the logistics of how you're both going to be posting on DU? Cuz you can't just go and disappear!


I think my mom is depressed, but that's a hard thing to approach your mom about..

35. Lounge is nasty. Just playing with someone and they say "what the hell
is the matter with you"...naturally, I didn't have time to elaborate and "fuck you, you little prick" would get deleted by the mods. What makes the Lounge turn nasty (aside from diatary factors)? At least in GD you expect it.

36. I think even the guys in here have started
to have menstrual cycles and we're all getting into the same rhythm.

No, seriously, I don't know.....I posted a really tongue in cheek thing in here earlier and two or three people took it WAY too seriously. It was weird.

:shrug: Vibes coming over from GD? Aftershocks from GD?

Dunno.

But sometimes we make each other happy, too.

41. The happy part is all I've experienced. Maybe the Lounge needs
to "look within" instead of blaming GD (irony, haha, just kidding, seriously but not really, no nastiness intended, if this upsets you, go after Bouncy Ball...but not in a bar...you'll lose)

51. It's the bankruptcy bill...
and the let-down and disappointment that whole process has been. Now that it's over, we lost time and time again, then 19 dems voted for the bill.. it's a big let-down.
