Another ditch in the road, keep moving.
I stumbled across "Guidelines for Evil Empresses" when flicking through various ficlets and could hardly resist reading up - you never know when you might be required to take on the role of evil empress! - A few of my favourites include:
I will not fret over the comparative beauty of the Hero's True Love or any Beautiful Yet Innocent kinfolk. They may be attractive enough, as peasant wenches or quivering maidens go; but I am The Evil Empress, and there is no comparison.
While seduction has its place in my arsenal, I realize that "evil" and "skanky" are not mutually inclusive. Royal Dressmakers unable to realize this fact will be flayed alive in the presence of their replacements.
I will wear flats, or better yet, running shoes when executing crucial plans.
I will wear breakaway clothing whenever risking capture. It will facilitate escape if I am grabbed, and it will distract the captor (but not me) for those crucial seconds it will take me to either escape or steal his weapon.
There are even more ingenious helpful hints and tips to becoming an all out evil super villain as well as notes for henchmen, heroes and other such categories: Stupid Plot Tricks

On a totally different note I'm looking at the Theories of Learning tonight at University which is kinda interesting. Don't get me wrong, all this studying and questioning about learning and teaching is great. I'm thinking about education in an entirely new way but the woman who takes our group talks to use like we're freaking three year olds. I want to punch her (like Nicholas Cage) because the whole belittling routine is getting tedious. With a captial T.E.D.I.O.U.S. Luckily it is half term next week so I get a week off from university and then after that I think we settle into one-to-one sessions for the remaning three weeks which allows me to have more time to myself.
Had another Doctors appointment today which went well. He's still not 100% happy with my progress, though I'dd admit that when we started to talk about jobs and finances and the future I did freak a little which he thinks is something to do with me trying to ignore what will happen rather than just trying to accept that I can't control it. It's an uphill struggle some days but we've had more positive days than negatives.
I've been keeping a record of my days and scoring them based on several catergories which are sort of based on Rosenberg's self esteem scale:
In other news my reversebang has reached over 8000 words and I'm not even finished yet. It kinda just evolved of its own accord the other day so I wasn't going to fight it and just let the words flow. Hopefully I'll get the vibe again tonight or tomorrow so I can start aiming towards the finish line with 10 days to go till posting.

- On the whole I am satisfied with myself.
- At times I think that I am no good at all.
- I feel that I have a number of good qualities.
- I am able to do things as well as most other people.
- I feel I do not have much to be proud of.
- I certainly feel useless at times.
- I feel that I am a person of worth, at least the equal of others.
- I wish I could have more respect for myself.
- All in all, I am inclined to feel that I am a failure.
- I take a positive attitude toward myself.
