In the old days I would have just gotten [...]]]></description>

By slashing her own throat. And there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My ideals it turns out are so high that I am unable to live up to them myself.  I place the other in a position of superiority - and then when I am condescended to I resent them.
