misattribution of arousal

Oh, weird. That's interesting, thank you. I'll think about other ways I could direct that energy--although I'm not yet sure that that alone would discourage the bad mood.

Maybe you won't be able to avert the "bad mood" itself, but you might also be able to displace your anger to a different target if you would prefer not to be angry at someone or something in particular. "Eat shotgun shells, demon scum!"

Haha. Yes, but any time that kind of distraction is available, so would various other nonviolent things. :)
