picked a handful of violets in my name

I certainly have these emotions. I'm only mildly congenitally depressed (actually probably mildly bipolar, because of big swings in both directions, but mild, in that I don't think meds are necessary or even indicated; many family members are either depressed or bipolar, though) and I have periods of mysterious elation as well as mysterious annoyance snaps and mysterious woe is mes.
