Minor explanation for my absence this week plus a meme.

I know I've been quiet this week. I spent this week staying home and doing abunch of nothing, spending lots of time with the kiddo and the pets, and resting. My anxiety level was really high earlier this week, and I have to say the time "off" has done wonders for me. I plan on doing much the same this weekend, though I'll be doing some work around the house and playing some games. I know I usually vent here, but I just needed to shut down for a bit, and I'm glad I did. Something good will happen either tomorrow or next week, depending on the weather, and I'm looking forward to it. I'll explain it all later.

Anyway, have a meme:

1. You can ONLY answer 'Yes' or 'No'.

2. You are NOT ALLOWED to explain ANYTHING unless someone comments you and asks—and, believe me, the temptation to explain some of these will be overwhelming. Nothing is exactly as it seems.

Lack of sleep = Bad eye-to-brain communication.

Signs that Jade might be tired:

• Misreading "Leslie Nielsen" as "Liam Neeson." (Leslie Nielsen was not, in fact, in Krull or Batman Begins, nor was Liam Neeson on any of the Naked Gun movies. Trufax.)

• Misreading "Excitement" as "Excrement." (I shall never look at my horoscope quite the same way again. The sad thing is that the latter was probably closer to the truth given Murphy's Law and all that.)

• Feeling a little dirty that I have to blow on my new DSlite touch screen to give my racer in Diddy Kong Racing DS an acceleration boost at the race's start. (No, seriously, it's sensitive enough that I can blow on it and it knows the difference between that and a light touch. I'm a little scared it might start plotting my doom with my PSP. I'm probably overly paranoid, but I'm keeping them in separate drawers just to be sure. You can never be too careful when it comes to the possible sentiency of portable gaming devices. If they get ahold of the educational capabilities of the kiddo's Leap Frog Leapster, I am truly screwed.)

Yes, I am sleeping in tomorrow. I've got a game tomorrow night, some GM-type stuff to do for Triumph, and a new DSlite to break in. Sam's out of town for a family event (something good at least, unlike my family events, which tend to be funerals).

Oh, and as for the anxiety and stuff I felt during the week? It's abated and I think after more rest tomorrow and Sunday, I'll be much better by Monday.

Also, I checked. Sentiency is indeed a word.
