PESSless PESS

For some reason, some symptoms of PESS are actually occurring outside the realm of PESS (defined as a reaction to stress inflicted by essays deadlines, preparation and anxiety about exams etc). They are now occurring even when the typical stress suffered by The Creature and The Object is not full-blown, which is a new development that much be chronicled in detail on The Blog for future reference and research. Below are some examples of this new development:

Specimen 1: The Un-Evil Evil Thing

Specimen 2: An Example of Badly Written Chinese, which is probably Wrongly Written

Specimen 3: A Graphic Illustration of the above chinese phrase

Specimen 4.1

Specimen 4.2

Specimen 4.1 and 4.2 are good examples of conversations that take place outside the realm of PESS, but which exhibit distinct PESS-like symptoms. Vaguely worrying.
