It doesn't help that I do the voice rather well. Also, I can be a stone cold jerk sometimes. Retail does that to you. Also, I like punching people.

I get massive throbbing forehead veins when I'm angry, and at the time, I used to randomly ambush people.  I was also just a wee bit arrogant.

I can't remember ever being angry.

I've been annoyed, but that fades after a second or two.

Pre martial arts training, I would explode on people in a physically violent rage at the slightest provocation.

Post martial arts training, not so much. The most important thing I learned is self control. Having the ability to walk away from a potential fight probably extended my lifespan about 60 years.

I'd like to remind everyone that half of the time I don't even know what I'm talking about. The other half of the time I only sort of know what I'm talking about.

911 was so horrible in that - it truly fit into the information age. I was only 10 - but I watched it unfold live. I still remember waking up early at 6 - I live on the west coast and watching the second plane fly into one of the towers. I ended up going to school late because everyone in my house was watching TV.

We ended up getting out of school early. Living on the East Coast I didn't have the chance to watch it live. I just saw the aftermath when we got home.

I'm also on the East Coast, but they sent us home early enough that I saw the second plane crash live. A suprisingly livid memory, for how long ago it was.

I hear that I radiate an aura of palpable anger whenever I snap.  I don't beat people up anymore (decided it was Morally Wrong in 8th grade or something), but I'm still pretty tempermental.  Even though I can control my physical reactions quite well, I still have trouble keeping my emotions totally clamped down.

I guess the really large change is that I'm angry about less nowadays.  It's usually things that people are doing to other people that really piss me off, rather than things that people are doing to me.

Y'know what I'm going to do tomorrow?  Play violent videogames and read textbooks and go to a neighborhood barbecue.

I hope that barbecue is using charcoal and not jet fuel, because that would really be completely tasteless, like totally over the line.

I don't get angry often either, Realm. I think I'm in the same boat as you.

I also find myself incapable of hating anyone.

I guess this is where our paths diverge. I get angry at the stupidest things, but I have it on total lockdown. I strap on my fake smile, put my head down, deal with the stupidity, and go meditate and throw it away later. My physical reactions and emotional reactions are so intertwined, I guess, that I have no problems parleying furious anger and intense asskickings into controlled disdain and mild contempt.
