Music for grumpiness
I am very grumpy today. Partly because my head hurts (and yes, I have taken many things for it but they do not work!), partly because I'm tired (blame my siblings for keeping me out late) and partly... just because. Who knows why. Anyway, I know what kind of music that I like to play when happy and what music is soothing when I'm sad and I think I could come up with music to play when I'm angry but I'm finding it difficult to play anything at all while grumpy. I think the very essence of grumpiness is that nothing pleases you. I played around with Over the rainbow and that distracted me for about 10 minutes. Then I checked bloglines to see if anyone had blogged (only Alex). Now I'm passing time waiting for Brian to finish working on a car because we are (over)due at Phyllis' for supper. Of course, being late also makes me grumpy. I suppose I could take my grumpy self into the kitchen and do the dishes...

Stop! Dishes do not cure grumpiness. The hot water makes you sweat and you invariably end up with water on your shirt, which then sticks to you, making you even grumpier. My philosophy is "anything but dishes" (which is obvious if you've seen my kitchen) :-)
When grumpy, I eat. Then I go for a walk. Then I play heavy metal. Lastly, I go to bed!
Hmm - loud music would not help headache. Soothing music would feel too manipulative. Happy bouncy music would get thrown across the room. I can see where the problem lies. Is there a music that feels like chocolate tastes?
My cure for grumpiness is petting Matilda. You can always pet Milly or Xander, although they're not always as tolerant of this as Matilda. There is nothing like the contented music of a guinea pig or cat to cheer you up!
When grumpy, stick in a Johnny Depp DVD.
