I vote for _haunted_. Who is haunting? THAT is the question.

I confess.

I am responsible.

I am a very responsible person.

Whatever goes wrong, I am responsible.

I broke the Internet in 1993 and it has never forgiven me.

I broke a pottery kiln in 1967 and the tragedy haunts me to this day.

I can’t even talk about the kitten I accidentally crushed.

Irresponsibility fills me with existential angst.

Responsibility fills me with cosmic blues.

Champagne fills me with dreams.

But I stole the champagne.

I confess. Again.

Shoot me.

Now.

There had been some DDoS attacks going on at some point yesterday. The Blizzard games launcher had mentioned it but it is no longer there.
