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 isn’t for research into a book or character, or anything like that. It’s just a game. Tomorrow I might try a different emotion. Something like… ELATION!
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?
Anyway, back to my infuriation. Let’s get ANGRY!
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?!

You can if there are knobbly bits in them. Known as Grimsbies (see The Meaning of Liff by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd). And let me tell you, sausages served up by monsters WILL have knobbly bits in…
