I am probably going to regret this post very soon, because I tend to pass out of bad moods pretty quickly. But, for right now, I’m feeling grumpy. I slept from like 6 am something until almost noon, and it wasn’t good sleep. Now I’m at work. I need to prepare for my thesis defense, which is TOMORROW! I was up until 6 working on my thesis, which I still like, but could have been way better if I hadn’t procrastinated at every possible turn. I feel behind on everything. I owe everyone and their cousin an email. (Tell your cousin I’ll get back to him soon!) I feel like a bad blog friend. I don’t know what I’m going to post on 20sw tomorrow. I have stuff to do for all three jobs. Money is . . . ahhh! Now I’m whining, which I’m not proud of (of which I am not proud?) And, after watching SNL, I have a mini crush on skinny jean wearing, emo-haired baby Zac Efron. I hate myself for that one.
Okay, writing this made me feel better. I don’t usually get grumpy like this, so what’s weird is that I find my own grumpiness kind of amusing.
I hope you’re all doing well. As Justin Timberlake used to say, Peace and Hair Grease!

“When in a bad mood, do you find yourself more inclined to write more? Or are you just disgusted all together and want to get away from everything for a while?”
Discussion Question? :)
I know, it’s been a grumpy few for me, too. But, as we both know, writing helps a load. I would love to say something supercool like “Just know you’re not alone.” I don’t exactly thing that’ll help.
If you’re looking for some cheering up, maybe some of that awesome SPAM we get? :)
Hang in there, girl.
Awwww, well it will all be over soon and your final thesis and defense will be fantastic! And don’t worry about how much time you “could have” spent on the thesis. I used to get really hung up thinking about how I should have spent more time working on my Kerouac thesis. But then I realized that I’d always find something in it I didn’t like, no matter how much time I spent on it, and that it was great the way it is. And I think you should take up that approach as well, it’ll keep you from going crazy.
I hope your grumpy-ness has totally subsided!
I get grumpy sometimes too. You have a lot on your plate right now. Good luck defending your thesis tomorrow!
JT said what??! haha it’s OK, we all have our whiny-times. GOOD LUCK with your Thesis defense tomorrow!
Yah… OK… I’ll admit it… I used to have a crush on Zac Attack as well. It was right around the time that Rolling Stones cover came out… or, you know, it was EXACTLY when that Rolling Stones cover came out. Either way, embarrassing!
It’s OK. We all have our days when we’re grumpy, and sometimes, things just don’t work out the way we want them to. Taking a break is nice, and you’ll get to do that after tomorrow, right?
Good luck with the thesis tomorrow! You’re going to do GREAT! *hugs*
it’s kind of scary sometimes how on point your posts are with my moods. i’m feeling insanely grumpy today. i procrastinated for WEEKS and am now doomed to stay up all night working on a paper that’s due at sun-up. (aside from the very obvious question of “who assigns a due date at SUN-UP?!”, let me just point out that i’ve been working on this paper since 7 a.m.). i have a presentation on said paper on wednesday. i haven’t blogged in almost a week, making me an even worse blog friend. money is blah. i yelled at one my closest friends when she inadvertently gave me more to stress out about than i could handle today. i too am slightly disgusted with myself that baby zac has some appeal (maybe it’s the hair?).
and to top it off? i’m whining. on YOUR blog! urgh.
lol. i hope we feel better soon! :) good luck on your defense!!!
That’s a pretty short grumpy post. I’m impressed.
We all get our days and moments. Today is also not such a good day for me.
Oh and I say previews for 17 Again the other day. And I am ashamed to admit that I think Zac Efron is a cutie. ;)
Anyone who quotes the JRT (Justin Randall Timberlake, my future ex-husband) is bound to already be breaking out a grumpy mood.
I feel as if it’s that time of year where people are automatically grumpy. Or maybe that’s because my semester is drawing near to a close? I’m right there with you on the grumpy train though. I cannot seem to for the life of me write a thesis for an extra credit paper. Eventually I need to write 3 for 3 separate papers, but number one isn’t even going well. So disheartening.
Keep on chugging along!
There is no shame in having a crush on Zac Efron. He is fabulous and legal, and that’s all that matters.
I’m behind on a lot of things too and often feel exactly like this. Obviously it stems from taking on too much and then procrastinating, just like you said.
Oh, and I know I’m one of the people you owe an email too, but don’t worry about it. That guy’s cousin comes first :)
When I get that grumpy, I usually end up (unintentionally) offending people which is why it is better to take all technology away from me, slap some duct tape on my mouth, and tie me to a chair until I feel better.
A glass of wine works too. :)
Hope you’re feeling better AND that your thesis defense went well!
Love the discussion question. And, I just got some spam for “animal farm sex,” so things are already looking up!
