The Grumpy Bug

lumy12I was grumpy last night. I don't really know why. I fell asleep on my couch at 8:00 and woke up at a few minutes before 9, just in time to go unlock the door and turn on the porch light for Aaron. He came home a few minutes later and I practically bit his head off after everything he said. Poor guy. I apologized, but not in a very believable way.
He didn't do or say anything to earn my wrath - maybe it's just PMS? I usually don't get THIS grumpy though. I did get annoyed (rightfully so, I think) when he told me a story about how he caused trouble for some nice couple at the mall, and he was all proud of it... sounds like kid stuff to me. Why can't he just grow up and be nice to people? Then on a grander scale I wonder if stuff like this means I shouldn't be with him, that I'm too serious for him. He's either negative towards everyone or making fun of everyone - opposite of me - and he definitely has quite the inflated male ego. He knows it too. He is blessed with above-average intelligence, but how does that give him the right to act superior towards others? It bugs me.
Ah well, I need to lighten up. I'm not so grumpy today. But I don't really have much else to write about. No more crime-fighting this week. Work has been rather peaceful and uneventful since that day.

You might get mad at me here, and think I'm taking Aaron's side or something, but oh well, here's my reaction: it sounds funny, even though I don't know the details. I'm picturing Aaron getting psychological on some innocent couple, getting into their heads about something, and that's funny. But you apparently think it was mean, and got annoyed by it. I don't know for sure, I'd have to hear the whole story, but I think it shows a difference between us. I have some kind of weird balance of our childhood over-sensitivities (food has FEELINGS TOO!) and my own male ego. I will admit that I have feelings of superiority sometimes, and I tend to hide them most of the time. But the honest thing to do is to confront them and not be afraid to be forthright with people about your true feelings. So maybe it was noble of Aaron in some obscure way to mess with the "nice couple." Okay, so I'm reaching there. Maybe I'd think it was cruel too if I heard the details, but that's my initial reaction.
As for the thoughts on a grander scale, remember that personality differences make for a more dynamic relationship, and also that you won't find a "perfect" person for you anyway. Look at how similar the two of us are, and yet we have fundamental differences too, so don't despair upon seeing what seems like a major clash between the two of you.

That's how he is. We got into a discussion about such things last Sunday at dinner, because Jeff had laughed at a lady who was telling him all the gory details of her drama-filled life. Jeff's wife Michelle thought this was mean too. But, then Aaron was abashed that I was saying "Ewww gross" about Jeff eating mushrooms - how is that rude? We've known these people forever, of course I wouldn't make any comments to people we just met or don't know as well. Sheesh.
I think Aaron's little joke with the couple would have been okay had he told them at the end that it was a joke, but instead they walked off arguing. I just think that's horrible. How mean. It's not like they were customers he didn't like either - he had no reason to cause any trouble for them.
Thanks for stopping by, Stad - post comments to your heart's content, I love reading 'em!
