Sitting on my hands

Does anyone else get weird stupid energy where you have simultaneously a strong motivation to Get Something Done but also know that anything you do do will be incredibly stupid and you'll regret it later?

I guess it's the "Get drunk and pick a fight in a bar because you're bored" reflex. In my case the urge is to reply to my email with whatever pops into my head or rant at some of the stupid people on metafandom or write a rambly rant about something controversial just to see what people say. On my more physically mobile days I've gone on 10km walks(*) in an unfortunate direction and bad shoes (once, to an exam) or "cleaned" by throwing a bunch of stuff away or made complicated recipes the Wrong Way with all the wrong ingredients and a terrible mess.

Phew. That wore it off a bit. I think I'll go read some fanfic or something.

EDIT: Lol first result on Stumbleupon: http://www.wildmoodswings.co.uk/

(*)This was a long way for me even at my healthiest, shut up.

Yup, it usually ends up with me abusing or ranting at someone. They do actually deserve it, I just loose all diplomacy. I might call someone "a fucking stupid pathetic waste of oxygen who I'd happily throw acid on" as opposed to saying that "I don't like their view on issue X"

:D

Yeah that sounds about right :)

OH GOD, YES!

usually, it's to wade into some intense debate and clip people's ears and tell them to grow the fuck up. I KNOW IT WILL ALL END IN BADNESS. but occasionally the desire is overwhelming.

I managed to mostly resist last night, thankfully, so my inbox isn't full of regret this morning :)

haha, yeah, "IT'S EASY: JUST DON'T BE A DICKHEAD" sounds so good and sensible, and it often is very sound advice. and yet . . . there is a time and a place!
