"Oh, 57 academics just punched the air... now MOVE!"
What is this? An entry? On my LJ? *le gasp*

Seriously though, I should update this thing more often. How else will people know what is going inside that head of mine? Or what's going on in my life, for that matter. Heaven knows I'm not going to speak up about it without prodding and poking and words of encouragement. Talking is just so difficult sometimes. It's so much easier to be quiet and listen and occasionally pipe in with appropriate comments and questions. Not that there's anything wrong with that, I quite like being a listener. I just sometimes wish making small talk didn't take such an effort...

Oh man, listen to me... My first entry in 7 months, and I sidetrack when I got news to share; I got a new friend ^_^ His name is Shakespeare, and he came in the mail yesterday. I knew it was the start of a wonderful friendship the minute I opened the box and, to my great delight, discovered that the lid of this wonderful piece of technology is blue! I spent yesterday afternoon and most of today getting him up and started, giving him his name, getting online, downloading and installing and customizing to my heart's delight. I even badgered Joakim into giving me the "Torrent 101" before work ^_^ And I'm having such fun deciding on names for all the other components. My mouse has, after years of loyal service, finally been baptized Horatio, my mp3-player has been renamed Ariel, my 1tb external hard drive shall henceforth be known as Prospero, and my smaller but sturdier 250gb portable hard drive is named Puck. I have yet to come up with a name for my new headphones, though. Or my speakers for that matter... Does anyone know if Shakespeare ever wrote a play with twin characters in it? Or maybe I could name them Guildenstern and Rosencrantz...

In other news, I have over the month of June become a whovian and a shameless DT-fangirl ^_^
