I don't have an inner snake. I have an inner fox. The fox doesn't lash out - it just cuts people out completely if they do anything little thing to offend me. I guess it's kind of like my nonmanic god complex. Or it could just be my BPD talking. If I do lash out it's usually internal. Except when I get pink slipped then I'm a total ***** to the hospital staff. Oops.
