Bad Mood
I am in a bad mood tonight. I am tired. I am breathing heavily. I watched I Am Legend today with Eric and our friend Paul and then ate at a strange time. I have been considering several posts, and want to write tonight, but I'm overcome by this mood. I really, really hope I can get a good nights sleep and shake this. It is so very irritating.

I really disliked I Am Legend for the Christian elements. I don't really expect the readers of the blog to have seen the movie, so maybe it will be hard to explain what I mean, but imagine a movie about the near extinction of the human species and then imagine talk of "God's plan" and images of churches at the center of walled-off survivors communes. There's something creepy about it. Like a whole new twist on the Left Behind series.
I think I am going to see it. You are the second intimate person in my life to have a strong response to this movie. The other one is my brother.
I like that you posted on your mood. It is comforting to me to know that your mood overcame you. Sometimes, I feel like such a wimp when my moods overcome me. But if your bad mood overcame you tonight, it is proof positive that you don't have to be a wimp for it to happen.
Phew.
Still, I am sorry you are having a hard night.
This post made me miss you and wish I had seen you. Not sure why. Maybe, like Firefly, I could have taken personal advantage of seeing the bad mood. But, my guess is that the overwhelming desire to fix it and be the fixer kicked in.
Oh well. I guess Eric and sleep will have do the jobs.
How are you feeling now?
"Maybe, like Firefly, I could have taken personal advantage of seeing the bad mood."
Proof that writing is not as good as face-to-face encounters.
I laughed out loud at this one.
Sorry, Robyn.
PS I despise myself in a bad mood. I'm learning to be gentler about it. I also get worked up about various Christian things.
See, you're not alone. :)
Somehow, for me, the funniest part is that you called it "the" bad mood, Robyn. It made me laugh out loud, too. I love how it makes it sound like a specimen in a jar.
Oh don't I wish I could capture my bad mood in a jar and take it to a field somewhere to let it run free--like I do with big spiders. I'd set it down with the lid loose, then tip it over with my toe and scramble backwards so it couldn't dash up my leg.
The problem is, my bad moods often DO feel like they are trapped in a jar...but I am the jar. And it's now always clear how to let it out, no matter how much it seems to want to.
And considering that, I don't think I will go see I Am Legend. Don't want to bring on a bad mood...
