[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Christopher? Is that you????

Possibly, but I think it's me as well.

Christopher? Is that you????

Heh. I was going to post, "Is that me?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hold my regular cell phone up to my ear, in case someone is walking by.

You are a dork, no offense intended. I think with the teeny bluetooth headsets these days, it's getting more and more common to see people who look like they're talking to themselves.

I wouldn't sweat it.

None taken. When I do this, dh will ask me at least once, during every conversation if I'm pretending to talk into the handheld, while calling on the handsfree. And then we mock.

The other moms don't seem that technology sophisticated, yet. You lose touch with that stuff when you're out of work for a while, and it all seems so amazing--the stuff of Sci-Fi. When Scott brought home his new Blackberry, it took everything in me to keep from turning into Gollum and running away with it.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

One day, it dawned on me that it looked like I was just sitting in my car, having animated conversations, all by myself.

I frequently see people walking down the street or in stores having animated conversations by themselves, including hand gestures. It's getting much harder to spot the people who just hear voices in their heads.

Yes, I love to play the game "Headset or crazy person?" when I'm walking around the city. Though I realize the two aren't mutually exclusive...

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have animated conversations with myself walking down the street all the time. I should get a bluetooth headset, just to look more sane. (I don't have a bluetooth phone, but nobody else has to know that...)

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I am so out of it with regards to cell phone technology that my phone is still in black and white and I turned off the text and webservice, and when someone asked me if the loaner cars at work were bluetooth compatible, I looked dead at him and said, "That sounded like english, but I have no idea what you are talking about."

I then got a quick education on bluetooth technology and I still have no fucking clue what it does. It's voodoo, I'm convinced.

It's the first step into assimilating humankind into the Nokirollasson collective.

I actually do talk to myself from time to time (although I'm quite clear there's only me there...er...usually), maybe that's why I'm self-conscious about looking like I'm doing so.

If someone said, "I saw you having a big old conversation with yourself," I'd have to ask date and time, before I knew whether or not I was on the phone.

I always think of it as Gypsy Magic, I'm never sure whether it ought to be filed under: Parlor Tricks, Gypsy; or Big Mojo, Gypsy.

But, through thin air, you are able to send and receive all sorts of information, including sounds, images, and the written word. Tell me exactly why we shouldn't think it's magic. Tell me how it's not.

Seriously, I felt like Dana in Sports Night talking to the Quo Vadimus guy, "You invented something that makes big things small."
