I had an anxiety episode just now. I'd call it an anxiety attack because that feels like a more accurate description, but that's apparently the same as a panic attack, and fortunately I don't get those. I wish my anxiety would go away, it's really annoying.

Since I was a)terrified of talking to anyone and b)terrified of getting any work done because I'd obviously do it wrong, I decided to play Star Control 2 for a while. Because I'm really bad at the game, and because the copy I have I downloaded off zarla's journal and it has a bunch of her saved games, I loaded up a game just before the endgame, decided to forget saving the galaxy from the Ur-Quan, and went and messed up a bunch of moons' ecosystems by landing on them and shooting at the local wildlife. It was fun.

I went and sold the environmental data to the Melnorme, and they told me some backstory that I already knew, but what stuck out in my mind was the mention that when the Dynarri were mind controlling the Ur-Quan, they had to disengage from them when they died or they'd be dragged with them into death. And I thought, "Just like the Yeerks!" Because I'm a nerd.

I guess that was the point of this entry. I associate soft SF-y things with each other. Huge surprise. It's late and I'm not functioning properly. I guess Animorphs and Star Control 2 are soft SF?
