aha! seee, though.. i'm the same way. i almost never get honestly mad at people. and if/when i do... it's normally not long lasting. but oh, heaven help the person or people i'm mad at. because if you've pushed me that far, you must have done something horribly, unmistakingly WRONG. ::laugh:: only i always say i got my temper from my father, who had quite an explosive one at that. ah, well. at least i have mom's good sense and a somewhat level head.
(and the funny thing is that when actually confronted, i know when to back down most times. to let it go. many a huge fight with senta has been avoided in such a fashion. one morning, many years ago, i said something to her - because she was bad-mouthing mom, sortof - and she was quick to shove me into a wall, get in my face and tell me off. it was our one really major fight, although several small ones have followed as a result of my dating people/making new friends. she pretty much hates everyone i've dated and that leads me to fight back verbally. i mean... part of me still loves the people of my past. it's not cool for other people to bash them!)
wheeeeeee, mel goes on a tangent. again. ^__^; ... and now, i'm going because (dot dot dot - keep reading) ... of the reason stated below for not getting on aim. :P
(i can't get on aim because dinner's gonna be ready in all of 5 minutes and i'd just have to go anyway. ::nudge:: )
That is not a tangent by any stretch! Infact, you just hit on one of those 'buttons' of mine. Infact, on but two occations I can remember being truely angry at anyone. The first was with a girl who, not knowing anything about Jean aside from the fact I liked her, started bad-mouthing her. You have no IDEA how mad that got me (my temper's rising just thinking about it, nearly 5 years after the fact). The second more recent time was when a guy who honestly doesn't know any better was making sexual comments about several girls I care for, and I very nearly bit his 'effing head off. I was most DEFINATELY snapping at him, much as I was trying to reign in my temper. You just don't... GO there, y'know?
Both sides of my family -- Italian and German -- have harsh tempers, and on occation I've seen it from both my parents, and most especially from mom Mom's dad and my Dad's mom. My mom's brother put a whole in his bedroom wall once, and my brother, Gene (quiet little Gene) has put two or three wholes in different walls. I think Tim punched through a door once, too. Josh really has a temper, though it's calmed down a bit as he grew up.
LOL And quite alright, Ms. Melissa. You know it's always a pleasure to see you around, in any case. ^__^ Have a good evening.

Ooh. I remember that. Maybe I have seen you mad, in that case...I had forgotten about that incident with Miss Nangie.
