Part 3, Week 3

Jumping right in here...

This week's Minimum and Medium moods are: Enthralled, Happy, Indescribable

This week's Maximum moods are: Infuriated, Irate, Irritated

And here we are with Infuriated, the "How exactly do I differentiate this?" companion to last week's Enraged! Not helping things at all are the other two moods, Irate and Irritated.

If I had to differentiate between Irate and Irritated, I would suggest that Irritated is more likely to have something actively happening than Irate is, whereas Irate can have more of a "got up on the wrong side of the bed" quality; you can just be Irate for almost no reason, but if you're Irritated, something caused it, and may even still be causing it, even if that thing is no bigger than a mosquito.

What are your thoughts on this week's moods? Any ideas jumping immediately to mind, or do you need to work at them some more? Maybe you have a backup idea from Enraged you can recycle for Infuriated, or you've got a tossup between Irate and Irritated you'd like some input on? Or maybe you're coasting right along? However it's going, let's talk about it!

I seem to go for a mild cause on Irritated, like Annoyed. So many of the angry moods are so big: enraged, infuriated, irate, even pissed off has that feel to me a bit... so, something smaller-scale where I can:



And after posting I notice these two look like the thing they are irritated by is each other, when juxtaposed like this. Oops.
