*greatly enjoys having interwob on the train*
*gets to the Big Blue House*
*Parties, which involves helping put down flooring and hanging out and stuff*
*Attempts to get on internet in the Big Blue House, which Vera's done before, thanks*
*fails utterly*
*gives up and hands her computer to the house tech guy*
*he fails utterly*
*calls her computer so many names she runs out and needs advice for more names to call her¹

Soyeah. Uhm. I'm on a borrowed computer, with one of those weird ergonomic keyboards that's split in the middle and shaped funny and I'm typing something like...30 words a minute. Possibly less. I'm sure it's better for me in the long run⁴, but it's annoying right now.

Alsoalso, if you were talking to me last night and I vanished without any warning whatsoever, really, please forgive my rudeness. I was caught up in doing something⁵ and didn't realize that the train had made it to my stop.

'sall for now. *glares daggers at Vera*

MOOP!

1: Ihaven't quite run out, really. I haven't called her a cunt yet, because I think that cunt is a particularily harsh sounding word² and as such, I pretty much only ever use it on myself³.

2: It's the opposite of wordporn. Wordporn, of course, being words that simply flow out of your mouth and sound *beautiful* doing so. I keep a list file on Vera...if I were on her now I'd copypaste it. What I can remember is thus: Slut, kinesthesia, tertiary, diaspora, rhetoric, serendipitous, dichotomy, monogamy...

3: I save the words that are, to me, the worst, for myself. I will, on occasion call myself a cunt, which I don't do with anyone else, and I am the only person in the world who I call 'little girl', for all my calling everyone 'kid'. I actually have a bit of an essay on the latter, if anyone's interested, just give a holler and maybe I'll post it.

4: I'm not actually. I hunt and peck like there's no tomorrow. I just do it extremely quickly. But I'm sure my standard keyboard posture is terrible for me.

5: Where 'something' equals stabbing my clone in the chest. Twice. Ohhh, her revenge will be long and bloody and painful, but I swear it was for your own good, m'sweets! We had to get the Tiffany out of you, she's just...*shudders*

Actually, she's not bad. Crazy boring though. You're much more interesting and fabulous.

ETA: Hoshit, jslove totally made internets happen. <3!

Did you call Vera a cockhole?

Also, for fun happy words, I'm a fan of perspicacious.

Urgh, getting used to a new keyboard. I'm having to do that with the eee, which is still unnamed.

I've never named a computer before. I'm a little baffled.

i hate those ergonomic keyboards. they make me feel crooked.

also after using a laptop for a few years now, any raised keyboard gives my fingers a workout they are not used to. it feels like they are climbing stairs or something.
