I am sitting in my living room...with a LAPTOP...on TOP...of my LAP. Now I see what all the fuss is about. I have never been so comfortable whilst typing. I have yet to take it outside. Not because I'm afraid of damage (though I am) but because I just haven't bothered to go outside recently.
Everything flies on this thing. I can have numerous apps running, a video in the background, and still be able to Skype my parents. This is what computing should be! Hooray. Okay, enough.
In other news, have you ever been in a situation where you wish the earth would swallow you whole so that you could escape your feelings of shame and embarrassment, while your "friends" look on with indifference? I mean, since your junior prom? Ridiculous. I don't think I can post this whole story (even I think I'm blowing it out of proportion, in retrospect), but this would have been a lot more traumatic if it weren't for the fact that this happens regularly. Like, about once a year. With a different set of friends each time, of course.
No, it's no longer a huge disappointment or shock when people I know let me down. You know, I just read what I wrote, and BOY do I sound like a nut. Oh well, who cares. Viva la internet anonymous.
In other news, I need a name for my computer. I like to name my technology. I welcome all my fan to offer suggestions. No, that wasn't a typo, there is only one person who reads this blog. Grumpus, feel free to offer suggestions.
I know all my fan by name! I haven't lost the common touch.

There's plenty of robot-ty techy names out there to choose from. Seroxat? Avanza? Edronax? Timmy?
I, too, recently bought a lap top. LIFE IS BETTER. I never thought of giving it a name...now I will, because then when someone hears me talking about my plans for after work they think it will involve another breathing being.
It's initials are HP, so maybe Hortense-Prudence? (Shortly after getting what I thought was a fantastic deal I was roundly derided by "in the know" computer saavy friends about my choice...).
I hope you realize the mere allusion to your social torment in para. 3 is maddening. Will not you spill more? I feel like shit every day, and the only thing that helps fortify me is hearing other people's tales of woe.
Tee hee. Your name examples are great. Seroxat-Avanza sounds like something my doctor would prescribe after the surgery. Edronax is the brand name. The doctor's name is Timmy. Hmm... Episode 1...
I have always loved the name Hortense (is your horse too stressed? Try new "Hortense"! A bit literal, I know, but it's a funny name). It always reminds me of when Bart Simpson called Lisa's new doll "Hortense the Mule-Faced Doll".
I like naming my technology. It makes me feel like a king surrounded by his subjects. A crazy, crazy king. My last computer was named Plovis (it's a long story). My PS2 is Augusta, and so forth.
