So today is the third freaking birthday in a row without so much as a 
freaking birthday freaking card in the freaking mail.  Happy Freaking 
Birthday to me.

OK, I'm not especially upset.  There are freaking people who have real 
freaking problems.  (And, sure, I may be one of them, but freaking 
birthdays are pretty freaking low on the freaking list.)

And, actually, it's not entirely true.  I actually got three 
e-cards--one from my sister, one from my freaking Allstate agent, and 
one from freaking Mensa.  And two of the freaking three can kiss my 
freaking butt.

Ya know, I was just reading the freaking POV general board, and there's 
this freaking person who keeps posting these freaking messages, like, 
"Oh, I don't know very much about POV, but I can't do this stuff, 
because I don't know very much about math either" and I keep having this 
overwhelming desire to respond with something like, "Read the freaking 
manual," or "Read a freaking math book" or maybe even "Turn your 
freaking hat around, pull up your freaking pants, and get a freaking 
job."  Now, that's not my usual freaking reaction to freaking newbies. 
My usual freaking reaction to freaking newbies is more like, "Oh, hello, 
I'm the evangelist of POV--bless you, my child--try this."  And even if 
it's freaking irrelevant, or even freaking wrong, I don't have this 
freaking desire to slap the freaking crap out of the freaking newbie, 
and then freaking slap him for freaking crapping.

I have this horrible fear that I've become a bitter old woman.  And, 
just possibly, a crazy cat lady.  Should I seek counseling?

All help appreciated!

Thanks. For making me feel even more guilty, because I have nothing for 
my girlfriend's birthday which also happens to occur on this same date. 
There is a ring she wants, but it has only just arrived at the store. 
Unfortunately, the shop in question exists nowhere near my area of 
location. I should have just paid my brother the extra gas money so her 
late-Christmas-early-birthday present would be in her hands. I'm a 
freakin' @ss >:(

Do you:
a) frantically multi-task to the point of getting little done?
b) expect too much of people?
c) frequently assume a task because 'it's not getting done'?

If you answered two out of three, you may be heading for fragmentation. 
I've seen it happen to people when those conditions were present. It 
isn't pretty :(

Not that I'm perfect or anything. Gah, this guilt is getting worse :(

Whoa, thank goodness I answered three out of three.  I was afraid I was, 
like, Type A-ing myself to death.
