I have a vindictive streak. Now, being "vindictive" has a lot of negative connotations; one of its synonyms is "spiteful".
Fortunately for everyone else, my vindictive streak is aimed primarily at myself.
I'll give you an example:
I've been feeling a bit down lately. It's the usual stuff: Stress from family, stress at work, blah blah ad nauseum. I found myself feeling extremely unmotivated, as a result. It went something like this:
Me: I should cook dinner!
Brain: Don't wanna.
Me: But... Dinner!
Brain: Don't wanna.
Me: Well, I should at least do some work.
Brain: Don't wanna.
Me: Couldn't I ju...
Brain: Don't wanna.
Me: WELL STUFF YOU BRAIN! I'M GOING TO DO IT ANYWAY MUAHAHAHAHAH! WATCH ME COOK THAT DINNER!!!
I fall into a small portion of the population which is actually motivated to do things by feeling totally unmotivated to do things.
Yes, I'm utterly insane.
Woo, another one.
