A Restless Night

I think it may have been because I was frustrated at nothing interesting happening on the site last night that I ended up in one of my funny moods. The kind of mood where I feel like picking a fight; only a virtual fight, I wouldn’t dream of getting myself involved in a real one. So, anyway, I went into the forum and did precisely that; I started on someone I didn’t even know just because he didn’t wholeheartedly agree with something I’d posted.

It obviously annoyed him and he did fight back but I don’t imagine it caused him any distress. It did cause me some, though. I went to bed feeling guilty about it and it took me ages to get to sleep. When I did eventually drop off I was plagued by very uncomfortable dreams; one of which woke me and, not being able to go back to sleep, caused me to get up and have a cup of tea.

So, if anyone reading this blog finds me having a go at them for no apparent reason, sometime in the future, you can take satisfaction from the knowledge that it will hurt me more than you.

I've noticed lately that some people having ago at others just because they can.Why they do so I'll never know. Wouldn't it be much easier just to simply ignore that other person that they really don't like and move on?
I imagine it to being similar to stuffing your face with cream cakes when you're on a diet, BW. Very satisfying there and then, but the regret and guilt soon follow.
What you need Harb is a good strong woman to keep you in place ...

I believe that Nora Batty one is single again conversing

wink

I think I'll give good old fashioned self control a try before I go down the Nora Batty route, Itchy.
Hi Harbal, wow what a night you had. Guilt is a sad thing to go through. Maybe if the time appears you might be able to fix this problem you went through with the guy on Forums. It might help you to sleep.

Good luck my freind. cheers
Actually, wen, I understated the case a little bit: there were two of them, and a slight brush with a third. It's not bothering me now but there will be a next time. I guess I'm just trouble, wen, with a capital T. sigh

handshake hug
Hey...T words are not allowed! scold
Harb, I was only shoite talking with that comment but to be quiet honest here for your actions and behavior lastnight you deserve a clip in the ear scold

But you manned up, so that's something ....
if your guilt carries enough weight to prevent you from doing it again, well isn't that even something more better.

Three haily Mary's for your sins and you'll be right as rain again comfort
"That can't be right, daniela. If Ts weren't allowed they'd have replaced it with a *. Besides, what have you got against Ts? confused
I think I'll do six hail Mary's and put some credit aside for the next time, itchy.
I suppose one can but only admire a man that is prepared ...

I think uh oh
What have I missed on the forums? confused
I sometimes wonder how I can be so fond of a man who is constantly telling me judgement day is imminent and I am to be cast down into the fire. String. cheers
You haven't missed anything out of the ordinary, daniela. Just a typical forum night; I don't know why it left me feeling the way it did. dunno
I think I'll sleep tonight, Merc, and I don't want to jeopardise that by making an apology that would leave me feeling even worse. Besides, if I apologise to the person in question, it will just make it more difficult to have a go at him the next time he gets up my nose.
He probably didn't deserve my response to him, Merc, but I feel sure he will deserve it at some time in the future. hug
Silence or I kill you? !



Oh Yea you can leave. It is a free site,laugh

Hi, Bogart. wave
Harb I love debate I just rarely get it. The very occasional thread where you can say your bit and get back an argument, not a tirade - very cool.

Friends is good handshake
I've been here several months now and still haven't tried the forums. Is there a lot of the political BS over there too?
smoke a joint before bed hard and you wont give it another thought unless its about purple unicorns.....rolling on the floor laughing
Tomorrow is a new day Harb....

....at least mix it up somewhat....

....a new contender.....a new squabble.....

....and another restless night will be looming....teddybear

giggle
I get like that sometimes but it usually passes.hoping you get some peace and sleep well.
Harbaaaaaaaal handshake

Methinks what you need is a good oil massage to let out all the negative vibes grin
I love to debate, too, Biff. I'm particularly adept at the ad hominem, or at least that's what people tell me. I think it is some kind of debating skill.
I can guess who you are referring to, KN, and although I did clash with him, he wasn't the one who caused the crisis of conscience.
Yes, Fay, the forums are suffering with the politics too.
You know me so well, Berry. wink
Thanks, Blue, I slept okay last night. thumbs up
MiMiiiiiiiiiiii...........handshake

That sounds like exactly what I need, MiMi.
Harbal, yes I believe Berry nailed it down.

You always have hope laugh

Sleepless nights are meant for something, I guess.

cheers
I recommend you avoid spicy food so you don't get unnecessarily hot under the collar. hmmm
Yes, wen, we have to keep hope alive. cheers
In that case, jac, I suppose I should thank you for helping me to avoid it.

You know what I'm talking about. professor

hug
See how good I am to you? giggle
If you want a fight, all you have to do is post a fact about the White House occupant. Guaranteed to get the cult followers all screaming at you, calling you names. You don't even have to call anyone a name, they'll gladly start it. rolling on the floor laughing
