When you are describing your mood to someone, do you prefer to give technical names? I find when talking to people I prefer to use varying degrees of up or down to describe a mood so it doesn't sound so serious. What do you all prefer, being serious and direct or fluffing around?
Also a little curious, what are your best mood descriptors using physical manifestations? I heard a wonderful one the other day, a girl described herself as a hot cup of tea in a cold empty room.
