Mr. Spock vs. Mr. Rodacre

These past two weeks have been pretty tough for me.

See, I am generally the stable one in any bunch. I don't have huge emotional outbursts or mood swings. I am usually the calm, cool and collected type who doesn't get overly excited or upset about anything. Even-keel. The rock. The logical one who tries to help everyone else calm down.

That said, when I experience emotional highs or lows, EVERYONE notices despite my best efforts to maintain a low profile. And then of course I choose not to talk about it because I fail to see the logic in expressing my emotions with others much less talk about them because why put anyone else through what I'm going through?

Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. So with that in mind I present to you a side by side comparison of the always-logical, emotions-in-check, Mr. Spock and myself:
