I try so hard all the time. Then I have an unusually stressful few weeks and suddenly I forget to be a person. It's predictable, but I never realize it in time to stop my bad behavior. I just have to try to repair my relationships afterwards. I hate this part of me.

Fair enough, and I'm sure you're right, but the combination of Shenandoah River, Blue Ridge Mountains and West Virginia points to one particular county in the WV Eastern panhandle where WV, VA and MD meet. The song resonates with me because I grew up there :-)

I am a Chucky doll

Yes! Sorry, it's from Lokasenna - the poem where Loki bitches to and about the gods. He repeats that phrase Þegi þú (pronounced theggee - thoo) multiple times, telling the gods to shut up one by one. I use it and ruder Old Norse phrases at work when people are annoying me.

Þegi þú, Þórr

Maybe I just need to embrace my own inner narcissist?

Wonderful

Yay sharks with coffee and frogs!

No thanks
