I'm feeling so surly this evening. I have no idea why. I just feel non-specifically pissed-off and hostile and whiny.

Grr. Argh.

Aren't you glad you don't live with me?

Hmmm, no, not really. Although I do appreciate not having otters in my bathtub and otter chow littering my floor.

Shouldn't every house have a surly parlor? Into which you can retire in your jammies to whack at things and snarl aloud and call out peevishly for treats or videos or for the dog to be brought in and brought out at your whim?

"I'm sorry, Dr. Rivka is in the surly parlor this evening. Would you care to leave your card?"

Oh, I love it. We need at least one of those at our house.

Well, we do have the bathtub.

Careful, you, or I'll get out the Hissy Hat.

Note: the Hissy Hat was a thing of horror and awfulness which resided on a door knob in our house in Texas. Voluntarily donning the Hissy Hat meant one was free to bite anyone poking/prodding/annoying you.

Sometimes someone would bring you the Hissy Hat, which suggested they were aware of a certain foulness of mood.

Only because it makes it extra-pleasing when I finally see you.

*sniff* Otters in the bathtub have been denigrated in this thread.

Can the dog be an Irish Wolfhound?

[mittelbar.livejournal.com]

Certainly, if it would like to be.

PK has been heard to observe it's as well he's tolerant and that we live quietly, as I can be extremely surly on occasion.

I'm liking the thought of the butler bringing the Irish wolfhound in and out of the surly parlor at my whim.

"Good doggie."

I think the slightly confused and pleading look of the dog as it was led out for the sixth time would force me to quit the parlor, however.

Well, I'm all surly this morning, so we're even.

We don't have a Hissy Hat, but we do have a Hat of Invisibility, which I wear at times when I need to be in the shared parts of the house but don't want to talk with anyone. Sometimes that's because I'm writing and don't want my train of thought interrupted. Other times it's because I am in a foul mood and need solitude to recover -- but would also like to fetch myself supper, get a book from the family shelves, etc.
