Finally.... back !!

And now it has been.... 7 months since I last updated my tracker. But, I've learned a lot about my moods and how to improve them, or how to make them worse.

First of all, I got out of a lot of stressful situations on-line. It's funny how easy it is to find stress in an on-line group, or to find stressful situations among people you never see face to face. But, I think part of it is that you invest just as many emotions in the people you meet on line as one does with those they meet in real life.

An on-line friend is no less of a friend, and if you meet someone on line whom you cannot agree with the tension is no less so than if you sat in a cubicle next to them at work.

I'm now only a member of the certain groups, and certain websites (like this one) where I know I wont be running into disagreeable people or stressful situations.

I have also made one major change in how I spend my free time. I've gotten back into table-top, or pen-and-paper role playing games - Dungeons & Dragons, FASA's Star Trek & Doctor Who games, FGU's Privateers & Gentlemen & Flashing Blades...

I used to play some of those as a teenager, but I gave them up when the internet, and play-in-email writing games came along.

But, most writing games now-days are based on shows like 24, and Battlestar Galactica... even if they are not set in those particular series, or stories... all dark, gritty, edgy... gruesome stories with a lot of rape and torture and generally abusive behaviour by the so called "good guys".

I don't like this...

So, I've dropped all the writing games I was in save two- one I run my self... and devoted my hobby-time to the face-to-face RPGs I grew up loving.

And I find that playing those games and interacting with a group of people who share my passion for these games has helped to improve my moods, and lessen my stress.

But... one thing will always remain true- it's a scientific fact that I've been able to prove by watching my own mood tracker....

The more sexually active I am, the happier I am and the better my mood is...

As a societywe tend to look down on sexuality. Even to the point of promiscuous sexuality being a bad sign in one's mood according to the mood tracker here.

But, sometimes that is not the case.

I think it all depends on the individual. But in my case a low level of sexual activity tends to make me edy, irritable, and negative.

So... I guess you would have to say that when it comes to my sex life... you can take thephrase "The More, The Merrier" quite literally !
