Malcontent

I spent most of today alternating between frustrated and annoyed. I wished harm upon a good number of people, mostly strangers, and then started wondering what would happen if anything came of my venomous thoughts. What if some poor shmoe, who has other things on his mind than letting me into his lane, will now get run over by a truck and paralyzed from the neck down, costing him his job, health insurance, and happiness?
My ill-wishing continued, but I added my own narcissism to the day's annoyances.

I signed up for the acting improv class. I've been having lots of dreams lately where I'm making up plays as I go along; perhaps my subconscious isn't that subtle. Besides, now's probably not the time to start a new writing genre. I'm still trying to actually do something in the magazine non-fiction world. I'll take the writing class when I need a new muse or something. For now, I'm going to play Freeze.

Is there a single word that means actively wishing ill on another person? I feel like there is. Maybe starting with the prefix "mal-" but I couldn't find it in my dictionary or using thesaurus.com. Hmm.

malevolent

adj 1: wishing or appearing to wish evil to others; arising from intense ill will or hatred

That particular definition of malevolent is perfect. I feel much better.
