Our computers started out being named for our alma maters' mascots--Buffalo and Quaker. When we got our first laptop, it was War Eagle for my family's Auburn loyalties. War Eagle is now mostly dead, and has been replaced by a break in the naming scheme. We named it Niehaus, for the M's announcer.

It's all because people are stupid. Lots and lots of people love you, and clearly Seattle is just too vague to see your kissableness.

Oh, meara, what a shitty way to start the day. {{{meara}}}

Cleaning is DONE! I need to put some furniture back after sweeping/mopping, but I'm all proud of myself. The party isn't till 7:00! I'm ready all early and stuff. I even vacuumed the back steps since people might come up and down them from the back yard. I'm not sure you can actually tell I vacuumed them, but oh, well. I'm considering sweeping the front porch since I'm done all early and stuff.

((((meara))))

Grr. And I was like "OK, fine. Is it someone I know? And do you mean serious like 'We're moving in" or serious like "we've been on a few dates and people are going to see us out together and mention it to you"?"

And she was like "Serious like we've been dating a month and a half and she's a lawyer who just bought a house on Cap Hill and isn't really in the queer scene but I've been dragging her to bars and clubs"

Oh, meara. Sorry to hear about the morning's suckiness. You know we'd all make out with you right now, if we could.

Oh, meara, I'll make out with you! (Let me brush my teeth first, and study up on this "HOw To Make Out" primer I have hidden in my drawer. I might have to practice on my arm -- it's been a while...)

You know, I feel ya. In a slightly different way. I was at my friend's baby shower this weekend, and had a slight freakout moment -- Where did ALL these KIDS come from?! USed to be, there were 3 kids -- that I could handle. NOW, in my close circle of friends, everyone is married, getting married or boyfriended. And there's been a kids-explosion, from 3 to...8. That's a lot.

It's weird. I don't want kids, or particularly a husband, per se, but being the ONLY one unnatached in my circle is weird and slightly depressing. Even though I am not particularly envious of any of my friend's specific husbands.

my iPhone's name is iAnto.

awesome.

SeanK you rock. I love your naming scheme.

I think Azimov is in the running. If I hadn't named Zelda already, I'd rename it Sagan. And we'd be off.

But if I keep Zelda, I'm thinking Ada. Then the laptop could be Molly. The PC could be Laura. The nano, YT....

{{Meara}} that sucks. but it sounds as if, in your assessment, you're noticing something not so great about exGFs behavior. At least I was kind of yucked.

Sparky - thanks... but you can pass it in other channels if someone wants it.

I'm still hoarding the get-what-you-asked-for~ma if anyone needs it... hopefully it will turn into don't-fall-on-your-face~ma soon.

My hard drive is named snuffleupagus - I was having a bitch of a time getting it to be recognized.

{{{meara}}} I hope your day improves.
