I'm annoying myself again

When I don't climb for long periods of time, I start to lose it - emotionally and mentally that is. Usually what happens is that I get more depressed, more antsy, more weirder and then the worst - I get more whiny and obnoxious.

I realized I was doing that last bit this mornign when I was talking to my roommate. She was talking about plans tonight for a friend's send off and I immediately started whining when there was dancing involved (I DO NOT dance. I sulk at clubs.). Then I started whining about swimming in the ocean tonight and how it could hurt my shoulder / wrist (whining: I think it might hurt. I don't want it to hurt. I'm avoiding physical exertion on my joints till they're ready for a calculated ramp up in rehabilitation so I can climb!). And then I started whining in my head about how I have a bachelor's party this weekend to go to and how expensive it will be (~$40-$60) when I could just drive out for another backpacking trip in jtree (california riding and hiking trail!).

All this whining was annoying the hell out of me. It's like having an obnoxious whiny little kid brother who wants to tag along but complain all the time. The only problem is, I can't ditch this obnoxious L.B. - he lives in my head when he doesn't climb.

I can see three things out of this ordeal:

1) it's really tempting to be continually drunk or drugged (which helps me empathize with alcoholics and drug addicts) just to shut this voice out

2) They say you get irritated at others for exhibiting the things you hate about yourself (whether you realize you have these traits or not). So true in my case.
Corollary: I hate little sorority princesses for this reason. If I could, I'd gouge their little eyes out with hot burning coals and feed their tongues to my demonic half-dog half-bat pet.
Corollary2: this is an example of how much weirder I get when I don't climb

3) I desperately need to find something that I find motivating, is physically exhaustive, rewarding and mentally stimulating to substitute for climbing - just to shut this little f*cker of a voice up.
