    <content type="html">&lt;h3&gt;21 Days of Dreamwidth&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://sofiaviolet.dreamwidth.org/510977.html#cutid1"&gt;Since I'll be offline for a few days, I should get ahead.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Side Effect: May Cause FEELINGS&lt;/h3&gt;

So I have a question for the people out there who are not congenitally depressed. 
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Sometimes I experience semi-random happiness, where I'm just having a nice day and everything is kinda shiny and it's good to be alive. Sometimes I get enormously ragey over stuff that doesn't seem to merit serious RAEG.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

And both of those ~~feelings~~ are pretty obviously tied to my meds (along with an increase in ability to Get Shit Done and a decrease in memory function). My question is: do I finally, after 20 years of being depressed, have a reasonable range of emotions?
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;h3&gt;Plans&lt;/h3&gt;

Boston MCR show tomorrow night; I'll be in line during the day. Meeting with &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://tuesdaysgone.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://tuesdaysgone.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;tuesdaysgone&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Friday morning for a ride to PA and another MCR show. Assuming the gods of train schedules smile upon me, I should be back in Boston in time for the SlutWalk. (Fingers crossed I can make all my transit connections.) And then there is the DC concert. Wheeeeeee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sofiaviolet&amp;ditemid=510977" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">Today is a lovely lovely day of nothing! I slept until after two.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I made two icons using images from &lt;a href="http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com"&gt;Hyperbole and a Half&lt;/a&gt;'s &lt;a href="http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html"&gt;This is Why I'll Never be an Adult&lt;/a&gt;, with the text changed:

    <content type="html">In my enthusiasm for this whole enterprise, I'll be continuing the daily link roundups. I never thought I'd be that kind of blogger, but I seem to have developed the habit, even before I was doing a specific kind of link-gathering. But while link-collecting is a useful service, I also want to be making other posts, especially in the context of &lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://three-weeks-for-dw.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png' alt='[community profile] ' width='16' height='16' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://three-weeks-for-dw.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;three_weeks_for_dw&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing I'd like to do is provide a new song every day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daily Song (right-click): &lt;a href="http://www.sofiaviolet.com/dreamwidth/threeweeks/CelebritySkin.mp3"&gt;Hole - Celebrity Skin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Within the first week this song was on my ipod, it went straight to the top of the most-played list. It remains in the number one spot, with almost three times as many plays as the next song down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style='white-space: nowrap;'&gt;&lt;a href='https://blnchflr.dreamwidth.org/profile'&gt;&lt;img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png' alt='[personal profile] ' width='17' height='17' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href='https://blnchflr.dreamwidth.org/'&gt;&lt;b&gt;blnchflr&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; has asked me to write about unreliable narrators, although this will take a few days. (I shake my fist at the end of the semester.) I am still accepting prompts, questions, et cetera, via comment/pm/email/carrier pigeon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.dreamwidth.org/poll/?id=2898"&gt;View Poll: Some ideas I already have...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sofiaviolet&amp;ditemid=459803" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
