I keep my bad moods off the boards. I come here to lift my bad mood, usually by being completely ridiculous with my buddies. (Looking at you, DL.)

Yeah, I'm in a kind of dull mood too, though like others tend to avoid being "emo" and bringing my bad mood into AW. If my mood is really bad, it's hard for me to even visit AW because I can't even pretend I'm in a good mood sometimes.

Creepy and wrong.
I usually have a little whiney tantrum and then get silly and get over it. I'm a simple creature really. :)

:Hug2: Hope your RL unhappiness passes.

I'm pretty much in a foul mood everywhere I go. :D

I have something to cheer you up, little dog.

In real life I am stormy. Seriously. Ask my sons.

Here--I feel good. I'm among friends who are writers too, who understand what it's like to talk back to your characters. Or eat over the keyboard while working on a ms. Or spew coffee when reading something on these boards that's funny. Or cheering when one of us gets their work accepted by an editor. Makes me feel that the writing is all worth while.

I get a lift when I'm here. It even brightens my mood if I'm trying to help lift someone else's mood.

I am always 1 second away from a mood change. That's why I so appreciate the people in my circle.

Happy happy, Susie. This too shall pass.

It kind of depends on what is happening in the real world and what is happening in real life. Mostly, I log onto AW to play with my friends. It's a good pick me up. However, sometimes stuff happens here that puts me in a foul mood which I take into the real world. So, there is a bit of crossover. :Shrug: What was the question?

I'm pretty much in a foul mood everywhere I go. :D
Really? I would have never guessed that about you, Haggis.

Somewhere in my mind... it echoes in here ...
Aw, Suzie, come here... :Hug2: Moods are strange critters. I have melancholy moods at times...okay, a lot... which I don't mind since it gives me a chance to reflect on things. Generally I'm pretty upbeat about things and I guess that's reflected in how I write. If I'm in a down mood, for the most part I avoid other people until I snap out of it. If I happen to be down when I'm on here, I usually go to a corner and quietly read threads or work on things. Sometimes moods just have to run their course though we can control how we deal with them. I suppose it boils down to the importance we place on something; if it's something we care about it's going to affect us more than something we can allow to slide. How we approach that is what affects our moods, IMO.

Just know that you're loved, Suzie, wherever you go on here, and I appreciate seeing you no matter where I run into you at AW... so smile, sweetie... this, too, shall pass. :)
