I had quite a bit of difficulty with this page. Primarily because Angelfire mysteriously deleted it on me one day. But anyway, that's beside the point. The function of this page is, well, nothing really. However, if you're familiar with the services provided by imood.com, then you will probably understand what I'm getting at already. For those of you who don't know what imood is, I like to describe it as a cheesy little service whereby you can sign up and share your mood with everyone else in the world. Kind of. Explore the site a bit and I'm sure you'll catch my drift. Anyway, the point is, imood has a collection of about 590 moods to choose from when selecting your desired state of mind. However, I've discovered that even with such a bountiful selection, they never have quite what I'm looking for. So here I have two things. First, an option box containing the imoods that do exist on their page:
And then this, the option box containing imoods that I believe should exist. Any further suggestions are welcome.

Imoods That Do Exist But Shouldn't...
Recently, imood's service got a little weird. They started adding moods that just weren't necessary. Just weren't right. Didn't fit in with the crowd you know. Of course there's not nearly as many unnecessary imoods as there is imoods that should exist, but that doesn't matter. On with the show.
accomplished - There's something very strange about this being an imood. I had always longed for something like it but this definitely isn't the right word. Perhaps "skillful" would've been better, but noooo, they pick the word one. "I'm currently feeling accomplished." It's just weird.
blue - This is just not necessary at all.
burned - Burned? What is that supposed to mean? I assume it's the slang term for dejection. But we have "dejected" and "insulted" already. Don't we? Imood has "insulted" right? *checks* Oh christ!!
disillusioned - There's no good reason why both this and "disenchanted" exist.
energized - I also think that this, being listed right alongside "energetic" is unnecessary.
fed up - Imood's second two-word mood. I suppose there's nothing really wrong with it, but two words just doesn't look right.
freaky - People shouldn't feel "freaky." Anyone who feels freaky should pick a word that sounds a little more fear-inducing. "Freaky" is a word I use to describe rabid homosexuals in tapered wool knickers.
geeked - What the hell does that mean?
ghetto - This is not an adjective, I don't care what anyone says.
grr - Guttural noises representing how you feel is very convincing in person, but on the internet I can't take someone too seriously if they say they're feeling "grr." "Grouchy" and "grumpy" are close by. Choose one of those instead.
in love - Imood's first two-word mood. It's wrong I tell you, just wrong. There's better ways to describe it anyhow.
kawaii - Does anybody know what this means? I can't seem to find a definition anywhere.
knowledgeable - Come now, do you actually like the sound of this?
mystic - How often do you feel mystic? "Why, I was feeling mystic just this afternoon." No.
nothing - There's all kinds of other imoods expressing indifference, and this is easily the worst.
orgasmic - Does anyone actually know what this means? I should think that orgasms don't last long enough for you to be changing your imoods in mid-shag.
pmsy - EASILY, imoods worst contribution to its community. An imood consisting solely of consonants. Terrible. No set of initials, especially PMS, should become an adjective. What, do they think it's cute to be feeling "pmsy"? Say it with me now "pmsy." *pukes*
preppy - Probably the second worst.
psycho - They have psychotic, they don't need psycho. Geez.....
smiley - A big blah to the smiley people.
so-so - Imood has enough adjectives of indifference. We needn't another.
spooky - See "freaky" above.
stellar - There's so much annoying shit about stars on the internet. We don't need to see it here. For the same reason, I almost included "starstruck" in this list, but it's not really justified since there's no other way of describing that type of mood in imood's selection.
stylish - This doesn't really strike me as a feeling. The closest resemblance to "stylish" in terms of an emotion that's available at imood is probably "fetching." A much better choice.
weepy - Yuck. Stupid mood, stupid.
witchy - I don't like this at all. There's a lot of moods that have a similar meaning and sound a lot less dumb. Frankly, I don't think witchy should describe a state of mind no matter where you are. You know what it should describe? Witches!! "Look at that woman across the street with the green face, black robe and the flying broom!" "Yeah, she sure is witchy."
zapped - If you were actually zapped, you'd probably be too paralyzed from the neck down to even get to imood.com, nevermind scrolling to the bottom of the list to choose this.
zesty - As if "spicy" wasn't enough. What's next? "medium rare"? "with a side of fried onions"?
I have excluded things that I dislike but I am not justified in my dislike for them, as well as a whole bunch of things like bemused, flummoxed, flustered, discombobulated or any other synonyms for "confused" simply because it's impossible to decide which ones should go and which should stay. So I will simply say that there are too many ways of saying you're confused.
