On Micah's phone call last night, he was all, "E, you know who my new man-crush is? NATHAN FILLION! He's so cool!"
And my heart grew 3 sizes that day. (He got the term "man-crush" from D and I, I think. So far he skews hetero to me, (he's 12) although I don't give a rat's ass whatever his sexual orientation is. MAN-CRUSH AWAY, BELOVED CHILD!)
Anger: I have 3 modes: fairly innocuous, ranty, humorous pissy screeds about fairly unimportant things. That's the most common. No one gets hurt.
Cold anger: Much less common, and much more dangerous. I get quiet and focused and plan, and I usually keep it in, because I tend to use words to eviscerate a person in their weak spots. And the worst part is when I get that angry, and I DO let it out...I enjoy it. I usually try to walk away when I get this kind of anger flowing.
Burning hot rage anger: Happened once or twice in my life, when cold anger has been set off. Verbal evisceration happened, and I had to tell the persons to walk away, or else I would be doing them some serious physical harm. One person was stupid enough to believe that a girl wouldn't do that. He was wrong.
(I was in my 20's, this big guy had been sexually harassing a friend of mine all night, and as the bar was closing, he was trying to pull her to his car, and she was all crying and saying "Leave me alone, etc." I ended up kicking him in the nuts, and when he went down, kicking him in the kidneys. Thisclose to kicking him the head, but I walked my sobbing, hysterical friend away instead.)
So yeah; I try not to get REALLY angry much. I'll rail and get pissy at minor things, but it usually last a few minutes and I can laugh it off or just use my Don't Fuck with Me voice to TCB.
