Mood

I, like everyone, have my ups and downs. I'll spend a few weeks happy (well, happy for me) and then a few feeling really low (a teenager with mood swings. Original.) (A sarcastic comment. Original.) (Ironic self reference. Original.) (Overuse of brackets for comic effect. Original.)
Wow, that kind of got away from me.
I've also been asked what affects my mood. Basically anything. An innocent comment, an odd look or a small twitch of an eyebrow. Okay, it'd probably have to be a big twitch of an eyebrow to really affect me. But the point is the catalyst is irrelevant most of the time, it's just a cycle of ups and downs I'm always going through.
Quite conveniently, at least in respect to making a point about mood, my mood has dropped quite a lot since beginning this post. Not for any real reason, it's just dropped. And, like a Bond villain stroking a cat, I've been expecting it. For most of the last few weeks I have been uncharacteristically happy, with some minor ups and downs throughout. Over the last few days I have noticed a slow decline in mood and overall outlook, from which I was able to work out that I'd have a drop soon. I don't really mind as I'm only relatively low and by no means am I suffering from depression. If I'm lucky my mood will pick up in the next few days anyway.
Along with my own mood, I believe I might have inadvertently described the mood cycle of most teenagers, highlighting just how unremarkable my life is.
Ah well.
Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I will have some guest bloggers on. If you believe yourself to be interesting, or know someone you think has led an interesting life or has insightful views, contact me somehow (if you know me use Facebook or talk to me, otherwise it's unlikely you're reading this, but if so leave a message in the comment section) and then I'll see if I think the idea is worth making into a post. If I decide it is then I'll inform you of details. Of course this is actually just a rather transparent way of avoiding work, but I do have interest from one person.
