I think I'm in love...

[katiefoolery]

I think I'm in love with my computer. Is that wrong? I mean, sure, I've been quite fond of computers in the past, despite their tendency to be incredibly irritating and/or stop working entirely. And I do like my netbook quite a lot, mostly due to its smallness, cuteness and general state of shininess.

But I think I've fallen in love with my notebook.

Maybe it's because I've always had a desktop computer as my main machine. It's rather difficult to fall in love with one of those: they're giant, they get in the way and they're damned noisy. Whereas, there's my HP, with its pretteh swirly cover, its shiny screen, its generously-sized keyboard and its relative lack of noise. Not to mention its remote control. I won't go in to how excited I was to discover the remote lets me control whatever music programme I happen to be using at the time, not just Windows Media Centre.

And I subsequently won't go in to the fact that I was excited about this despite being fully aware of the fact that I usually won't need to use said remote, because I'll be sitting right in front of my computer while I'm playing music on it.

But you never know. Maybe, one day, I'll need to use that remote and it will be so convenient when that day arrives. Provided I've remembered to keep the remote with me, rather than leaving it slotted in its housing in the computer.

EVEN SO.

I'm not alone in this laptop-love, though, am I? There must be other people out there who adore their computers and fret about them if they ever have to be sent away. Yes? Yes? Tell me yes.


P.S. I wrote more words! And I have many more stuck in my head which shall be extracted tonight, assuming I don't get distracted by the shininess that is my computer. :D

The first time I got a laptop was went I went to university, and I fell in love with it too! I thought it was the cutest thing ever. I totally hear you on this one. :D

I totally understand your laptop love. I left mine in England, with Ian's parents, because we decided just to bring Ian's across.

*small voice* But his laptop is a boy laptop. All square and hard edges and souped-up hardware. Mine was a lovely Acer laptop with inbuilt wireless. I can't wait to go back and visit it again... :D

How is GYWO working out for you?
Personally I'm still grossly behind. And hampered by last months grossly behindedness. I think my grand total stands at something akin to 5,000ish. When at the end of the month I should be at 30,000+. 25,000 words in ten days? Unlikely.

You are ... DEFINITELY ... not alone in this thing called Laptop-Love.

And you are in good company, too, with the way-low word count,. (Or is it me that's in good company?) Haha - whatever!

Keep going; I want to see more little ficlets.

:D

I, too, love my little netbook. It needs recharging, though.

Yaaay for words! ^_^
