I gakked this from hotarunokokoro. It is surprisingly accurate, except that this particular demon doesn't always stay an inner demon...

Your Cute Monster Says Your Inner Demon is Depression

You are both a realist and an idealist. You're able to see the world as it is - and how it could be. You dream big, and you never give up on your beliefs. You have big plans. Sometimes you build things up in your head. People think you're cute because you're determined. You're a fighter, and that's charming.

Thank God I was diagnosed and received treatment for it. I'm not "cured" but I have learned how to sidetrack it, how to derail it once it hits, and how to deal with it if everything fails and it still hits.

Today I get to go back to work after a 4-day spring break (I'm not counting the weekend--I always get weekends). This is the time of year when the kids either pick up, thinking "OMG it's almost school out and I'm failing and I don't want to have Miss B again!" or they start fading back, thinking "Who cares, I don't want to study, it's too nice outside, and my boy/girl friend is much more important that any of my classes." Come to think of it, that's pretty much how the teachers are thinking, too. Heh.

On the writing front, I have about 2 more chapters to go...one for sure, and probably one more to wrap everything up. The cool thing is I found an old note that I wrote with this ending in mind, and it gave me a whole "Oh! Yes! That's how it needs to go!" so I expect this last chapter (or two) to go rather quickly. Then it's a matter of editing so that it fits with the central story (which may mean editing the central story a bit, too), and then I can start on finishing the sequel. So go me!

I feel notgood today. I'm not sure why--probably a combination of things.

( In which I go into female squickiness...you have been warned )

In order to force myself into a better humor I offer the following daily quiz...

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead... But you're also powerful enough to make things happen for yourself. You understand how the world works, even when it's an ugly place. You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!
