I get pissy but rarely angry.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Every turkey I've prepared got named Fred and I made it dance.
I'm not a very angry person. When I do go there, it's very very cold. I can usually identify the sources of the emotion in me, and react accordingly. I guess I'm good at using my words? In any case, I'm generally conflict avoidant, and am either going to sift to the source of the issue (and defuse, if it is from someone else) or remove myself from the situation, if I give a shit. Sometimes, I don't give a shit. I don't like being around mean aimed to hurt. That, I can't abide and it will not be forgotten.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am completely earwormed with "Copacabana" now. Thanks, Erin.
(Although it's better than the McDonald's Filet O Fish commercial that's been stuck in my head for weeks now.)

Because books.
In sixth grade, before I knew what "cool" was, I used to listen to my mom's Barry Manilow albums all. the. time. I sort of them miss them sometimes, to be honest.

At the Copa!
It's my go-to karaoke song. My mom luuuuurved Barry Manilow, and I knew all the words to all the songs.

I love Copacabana! It's on my swim mix.
Noah and I just had a fight. I sent him to bed without speaking to him. That lasted for 20 minutes. Then I crawled in his top bunk and told him that I don't like when he lies because it means he doesn't trust me and I can't trust him. Then I made him laugh and now all is okay again.
I feel stormy today.

It was stormy in my head all day today.
I wish I could find the medley with all of his commercial jingles. That was one of my favorite things.

Oh, I'd say you're pretty well committed...

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I am ok with anger when it is from a library patron. It isn't personal ( and sometimes it is ridiculously funny) .
In my personal life - I don't know what to do with anger. Growing up - I was taught to think before I speak. I haven't yet succeeded in convey to Matt that 's why I want to go for a walk before finishing a discussion/fight - because I can think and therefore have no idea what will come out of my mouth ( i am smart - but I am so not a fast thinker ) . I have also noticed, and I remember doing this in childhood too , if someone accuses me of doing something - and I didn't , the fight is over. I just don't have much to say. and my anger is gone too. I figure when the are willing to actually see what is going on , that's when we can talk
