I’m spending today being infuriated.

Every now and again I like to take on an emotion and live it for the day. Infuriation is a fun one. I decided to take a ride on the tube and become inappropriately angry at everything. Even little things: the doors closing. The doors opening. The sound my shoes made when I walked along the platform. The funny looks I got when I tried moonwalking instead.

This is harder than it sounds – faking the same emotion all day. I suppose actors do it a lot, but then, they’re nuts aren’t they?

Grrr.

And so on.

EDIT: Ooh, I just found out there are sausages for lunch. You see how hard it is to be angry? How can anybody be angry when there are sausages for lunch?!
