bad mood day
3 Nov 2007 10:40 amIt's almost enough to make me wish there were puddles outside and that I owned a pair of gumboots that I could slip on and run outside and leap around making (admittedly nasal) roaring noises and BIG ANGRY SPLASHES. (Almost enough. I think my extreme dislike of getting wet would kick in sooner or later.)
Uuugh. My cold shows no signs of getting better and I feel like such a grouch because I'd kind of like to be doing NaNoWriMo or working out my Yuletide fic or plotting RP stuff -- I haven't been creative in way too long -- and instead I'm sniffling miserably and trying to study anatomy and psychophysics with a brain that refuses to work.
This grouchiness is either causing or is fed by my reactions to fannish stuff. Hmph. Case in point: ( SPN )
In further heartlessness, I couldn't stand this 'Torchwood Babiez' cartoon (I'm linking because I think a lot of you WILL like it; it's quite funny and the art is well done). It's just. I have a very strong aversion to things that try very hard to be cute, mostly because 'cute' doesn't actually register with me as a positive impression. I just don't get it. I have strong urges to burn most greeting cards, especially the ones for new babies and any Valentines day cards that either attempt soppy poetry or have teddy bears anywhere on them.
Bah, humbug, etc.
:(
ETA: I feel I should add in light of the above that I am not actually anti-babies in any way, and who knows, I may even have some myself one day, but if that ever occurs: you should all keep in mind that anyone buying me anything featuring pictures of storks, or anything that even remotely approaches powder pink, will be kicked off my Christmas card list faster than they can say 'bundle of joy'.
