Self Affirmation is Bollocks

Now, I hate to have obscenities in my blog title, but it is. Really.
Go ahead. Try it.
Go look in the mirror, and tell yourself that you're a strong, capable man/woman who doesn't need (insert addiction/vice/unwanted thing here).
The trouble is, if you really were strong and capable, you wouldn't BLOODY NEED SELF AFFIRMATION!!!
*sighs, catches breath*
You're going to have to excuse me. It's been raining, I've been depressed, and sleeping too much. Sleep is bad. I mean, oversleep is bad. And I've just had a marvellous cup of Irish breakfast tea, and I've been writing prose. Good, solid prose, with really enjoyable characters with flaws and things I hate and love about them.
No, they'll never see the light of day. But yes, they rawk.
Hard.
Okay I'm going to go now. No, I won't stay and cuddle.
Go affirm yourself.
Loser.
