Mood

I don't know if it's just me, but I find it interesting how much impact my mood can have on my perspective, particularly in relation to things going on around me.

Strange how when I'm in a 'good mood', I find people and things beautiful, interesting and I feel much more relaxed. However, when I'm in a 'bad mood', things that I would ordinarily find endearingly human, now shit me to the point of anger and frustration. This applies particularly to little things.

Eg. dropping something, people talking in the library, people talking loudly in general, people walking slowly in front of me, bad driving (i could go on for hours here), general arrogance or inconsideration.

These are the sort of things I might ordinarily ignore when I'm in a 'good mood' but in a 'bad mood', I just want to kill and/or maim. During this exam period, I hope my moods are good... because there are so many idiotic, frustrating and inconsiderate people around... and I am probably one of them.
