Crapola
Welp, kids, after a long, agonizing illness, lasting over two years, my computer is dying. I’ve had to borrow another computer for today and tomorrow, a lap top from a friend, so can write this here but, who knows how often I can borrow it.
And that makes me scared. Because I have an addiction to the internet. And I can’t imagine going a day without getting online. It’s frightening. SO! Because I have put this off for two years, I REFUSE to feel bad about this, I will NOT have buyer’s remorse.
I went and got myself a new Dell laptop. The very basics, of course because I no longer do all that crazy stuff I used to do on computers. I’ve mellowed, in my years. No longer do I need to race down the information highway at warp speed displaying all my bling to anyone who will look my way. No longer do I need the strobe lights flashing in my eyes and the blaring music pounding in my ears. I have no more need for the intoxication and the kissing of complete strangers in every club I patronize.
Nay, I only now need only a simple, modest home for my brain, in the evenings. No more out of control house parties where the cops get called and there’s lots of photos to share later. I just need a nice, quiet evening with the grandfather clock ticking in the background whilst a cat curls up on my lap as I knit a new sweater type computer.
Except I got it in Flamingo Pink because some habits die hard. And yes, those of you who know me QUITE well, I will, indeed, be slapping some Hello Kitty stickers on to the cover. I can’t help myself. I’m not DEAD for God’s sake, just mellowed!
So, if I should not appear after tomorrow for some time, now you know why. Hopefully my precious new lap top will be here within a week. Precccciouss! And if you find any Hello Kitty stickers, BUY THEM and send them to me! I will love you forever. And ever. Promise.
PINKY swear.
Tanks, kids.
