Month: January 2013

Kate got her first glimpse my temper last night. I feel bad about that, but she’s been (thankfully) very understanding about my mood swings, and the fact that the littlest stupidest things can set me off.

Yesterday was just one thing after another. I’ve ranted about it elsewhere and at length; I don’t feel compelled to get too deeply into it. Let’s just say it was a bad day and I spent a good… hmm, probably ten hours or so, stewing in my own rage. I was mad enough that I was shaking, and at one point I had to literally bite my tongue to keep from snapping “get the fuck out of my way” at a coworker.

And the sweetheart that is my girlfriend wanted to help cheer me up, so we went to run Molten Core in Warcraft. Reputation, pets, and transmog gear, three of my favorite things (mounts too, but MC doesn’t have any)

The problem is that she invited someone to come with us without asking me, and I really really REALLY hate dealing with unknown people when I’m mad. I’m more likely to completely snap in that case, you know? And seeing as we were on skype at the same time, she discovered one very important fact:

When I’m mad, I get quiet. Monosyllabic. I don’t laugh at jokes, I’m just cold and quiet. 

Kate actually managed to talk me around and out of it.

That’s… aside from my mother, no one has ever done that before.
