butterfly | Do you feel... dead?

I've occasionally noticed people wondering about the lack of a 'dead' mood choice.

Actually, there is one: exanimate.

The most basic meaning of exanimate is lifeless.

exanimate
\Ex*an"i*mate\, a. [L. exanimatus, p. p. of exanimare to deprive of life or spirit; ex out + anima air, breath, life, spirit.] 1. Lifeless; dead. [R.] ``Carcasses exanimate.'' --Spenser.
2. Destitute of animation; spiritless; disheartened. [R.] ``Pale . . . wretch, exanimate by love.'' --Thomson.

On a different note, the secret santa reactions are interesting to read. I'm fairly curious about some of the stories. I'd be lying if I said it's not disappointing that no one, you know, likes my fic, but I had a hard time even getting it started, let alone finished, so I try to understand. Doesn't mean that I don't wish it were loved. Or, you know, liked. Or noticed, for that matter.

My back always feels icky after I sleep somewhere other than my own bed. And I'm way tired. Dead tired, you might say.

*sigh*

Bad joke. Not even a joke, really.

I'll probably go to bed soon, even though it's early.
