I suppose I have things to say. I've gone back to work on several projects -- certainly some amount of dull, scientific commentary is in order. There were elections on Tuesday -- naturally, I should have an opinion on the gay rights situation in Maine and elsewhere. There is the weather. I could talk about any number of things, really, but I don't suppose any of it matters quite so much as the events of Sunday through Tuesday. In fact, even as I contemplate the myriad of other topics upon which I might expound, I can't help but continue my reflection on the power exchange.
I suppose it is no secret that I temporarily took on the precognitive abilities of one Violet Broome. It took me rather longer to discern this than it ought to have, perhaps because I chose to remain in denial of this for far longer than I would like to admit -- if I didn't have Violet's powers, then I would not have to suffer their adverse effects. It was silly of me to delude myself like that, as I'm sure the painful vision would have come, whether I expected it or not.
What I actually saw is irrelevant.
In any event, my decision to broadcast the temporary nature of the swap is the most important topic at hand, and I would be lying if I said I'd predicted that it would become an issue. I hope you will indulge me as I attempt to explain. Regardless of my state of mind at the time I accessed the network, the decision to post was not one that was made without much thought and deliberation with individuals who were significantly less delirious than I was, as well as significantly more sober.
The intention was not to rob certain individuals of their newly found happiness, as was hypothesized by one or more enraged parties. In fact, the intention was more the opposite: to provide hope for those who, similar to myself, found themselves thrust into situations with which they were unable to cope, and a warning to the others to make the most of their remaining time. I knew the truth, and I didn't believe it fair of me to keep it to myself -- everyone has a right to information. I apologize if it was unwanted information, or if anything was unclear. I realize now that I should have, at the very least, adjusted my phrasing.
If you've read all of this, thank you. I hope you understand.
[Annie]
Thanks again for being around on Tuesday.
[Violet]
You deserved more time.

Okay so...it's Friday. That's cool. Fridays are awesome. You know what's not awesome?
Life. Well sometimes it's awesome. Sometimes it's not. Right now it's pretty much not awesome even though it's a Friday which doesn't even make sense because Fridays are totally supposed to be awesome because you know...they're Fridays.
Yeah. That's all I had to say.

[ PRIVATE TO: MAGIC FAC ]I'm absolutely hopeless when it comes to Magic, so I'm hoping one of you kind souls are willing to help me out. Do you have any idea whether or not that power switch incident was magic-related?

Thank you all for saying that you'd help me out this weekend. I'll be there around 9:30 - 10 to get started, but don't feel obligated to get up that early. It was the only available timeslot they had for delivering the storage unit. If you've never been out to my house, the address is 122 Baneful Boulevard.
What does everyone like on their pizza? Or if you don't like Evil Joe's, what would you like?

I am so relieved to have my powers back and they don't seem to have changed any! You never know, something could have gotten messed up during whatever people did to fix it. But I've tried everything and I can do everything that I used to be able to and it doesn't look I can do anything new, but that's okay! I'm just so glad they're back. I just don't think I could have gotten into the Band with science like powers! My mothers are very happy, too and to celebrate, they sent me a cake! It's very good, but I've only had a tiny piece. You know what cake does to you, after all! But would anyone like some? It's chocolate!

That whole thing earlier this week was... I don't even know. I had a lot of fun with Anna's powers! It is incredibly useful to have more than one of you. But it made me realize how not useful my usual powers are. So I guess I'm wondering if it was worth it. To know what having someone else's powers is like for a short time, I mean. Or if it's better that it never happened at all. I think I'm still kind of glad that it happened. It was super interesting and no offense to Professor Quorum, but I feel like it probably led to way more personal development than we've had the rest of year. I can totally see why people would wish it hadn't happened at all, though. I guess it comes back to that old question -- is it better to have had something and lost it, or better to never have it in the first place?
Shit, I've gone all philosophical.

Hello! I wanted to see how you were doing with.. getting yourself back!! I made you an OGRE SHAPED cake (frosted red and everything!!!) and would like to bring it you when you've a free moment. I don't know, I don't know a whole lot about automobiles outside of how to hotwire them and, like, toy ones. I have a remote control one that I use to run over spiders and bugs and I like to pretend that it is people I don't like, like the CEO OF MCDONALDS. He ruins ALL GOOD TIMES SHEESH.
Anyway, are you ok?
[Filtered to Victoria]
Oh my, oh my, oh my. I am like a Newsie, have I got news for you. I will even tell you it in song, like a Newsie.
[Filtered to Brand]
HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII. I haven't seen you in a while, sorry sorry. I've been super swamped with fixing all my broken toys. Oh my gosh I am so happy to have my brains back. Thanks again for helping clean it up, maybe I will make you something as a present, but not for a while as I'm still super busy with some things. Lets get lunch on Sunday. I will be INDISPOSED tonight.

I've noticed that a lot of us were deeply effected personally and emotionally by the episode when all our abilities were shifted around. Believe me, I understand the feelings. Having the tether to my lord severed, however short, was very difficult to me.
I have also noticed that many of you have decided to drown your sorrows in alcohol. As we have seen binge drinking is very, very dangerous. There are more constructive things that you could do with yourselves. Talk to people, work out your frustration with exercise, or even prayer and meditation. If you would like help with any of these things, I offer my services.
