A Mood Warning is in force - Alert Level: Satsuma

[gothwalk]

I can feel a bad mood approaching, as it does every three months or so, for no good reason - I assume it's some cycle or other clicking through a reset. My approach to a bad mood is to retreat into my study and growl at everyone from there, in much the same manner as a large dog, for two days or so. As long as I keep in mind that this is coming up, and set aside time for it, it doesn't really affect me otherwise.

It's remarkably difficult to schedule this particular bad mood, though - it may need to wait until the weekend of the 28th or thereabouts. I hope it doesn't sneak up on me in the meantime, and I apologise in advance to anyone who gets a snappier than usual reception - do tell me if this happens, so that I can adjust moods accordingly.

You're the first man I've known to admit this, though I've noticed it in other men. Mood cycles happen to lots of people, but generally it's assumed that only women have them.

It's been happening me for years, you can tell because it always coincides with me deciding to quit my job (again)

I am feeling better, if you wanna let up on the protection stuff, though there is still an underlying feeling of doom.

If it's in full swing on the 28th, that'll be an interesting Kingfisher's Way session! At least we'll have been warned :-)

If you want to lift your mood a bit, try repeating "satsuma" over and over again, out loud, once you're out of earshot of anyone.

I got that whole "cycle" thing a lot, and then they told me it was a "mood disorder". I'm not so suspicious as i once was!

I'm not entirely sure about mood swings, but I am very aware that every two and a half months, give or take a bit, I sleep for about forty eight hours straight.

Normaly I'd put it down to hectic lifestyle, drinking too much or the like. However of late, i've been very well behaved, not many late nights (being in wexford removes any desire to be awake when the real freaks come out).

So my new theory is that I am in fact a squirrel and because I am so very large compared to other sruirrels I must hibernate more regularly. Not only do I long for a grapefruit, I also find putting makeup on when half way up a tree is not the best for my health, so I will kill everyone in the world.

But seriously, them women folk what I have heard about, have their toxic, mindmelting, mother of all moodswings once a month. Men are also in possesion of the hormones what come in every woman package, so i guess the whole thing has to do with them, (Gothwalk, get yerself a testosterone injection, you'll then be aggressive all the time, so ya won't notice it any more)
