He is
the welcome invitee to my seemingly impenetrable erotic lust garden. My ripe
love nectar reserved for his tasting tongue alone. My gratitude to him makes me
want to throw his awkwardly geeky skinny frame to the ground, jump on top of him
and do things to him you'd only see in those "special" movies. 😜 (I
hope I don't kill him by doing that though, I'm a very robust woman).
I'm a
geek girl myself, so I can 'say' all this. I also understand the
unexpressed and repressed yearnings of a good & guarded geek. 🤓 This particular one though, is the new love of my life. 😍 He saved me from my own tumultuously tormented soul and
helped guide me to a path of true inner happiness. Our magnificent meeting this
past weekend has changed my life forever and it all started early that Saturday
morning. My laptop had been on the fritz for a few weeks now but the desktop in
my sister's office allowed me to blog, video-produce and just generally fill
that gaping emotional hole that only unfettered internet access can provide. 💻 You know how much I like to blog but I never truly get my
entries exactly how I want them until (at least) several days after posting. My
brain moves faster than my fingers, so I often omit words or use the wrong ones
when I need to hurry up and express my thoughts. It isn't until I go back and
proofread (several times or days later) that I notice my glaring
mistakes. Saturday morning had me performing that exact blog exercise. Then
suddenly and without warning, the desktop just shuts off and the monitor goes
black. WTF?! That's never happened before. The computer is about three
years old and it was one of the better packages that Best Buy offered at the
time but there was definitely something wrong with it. 😬 I
hurriedly find my sister and tell her what happened as if I was a small child
tattling on the school bully. She goes in and does all that "computer stuff" she
does but she can't get it to come on either. No laptop OR desktop?!?!
Oh,
HELL-TO-THE-NO! 😫 I'm
not living like that! I'd rather wipe my azz with poison ivy than be without
unlimited internet access. Yes, I love it that much. 😞 My
social networking pages are the very things that keep my mind mellow and heart
healthy. If I can't utilize a creative form of self-expression, I'm liable to
start robbing banks or murdering people. Okay, I'm exaggerating just a little but I do need that type
of creative outlet to keep myself socially sane. 🤪 Since
my laptop had been acting up anyway and now the desktop, sis got on the phone
ASAP with Best Buy's Geek Squad. She spent over 30 minutes on the phone
as The Geek Squad dude tried to determine what the problem could possibly
be. 😟 She
& I both were mostly concerned with saving our data (pictures, videos, etc).
In fact just days earlier, we'd purchased an external portable drive to move all
the stuff from both computer hard drives to but we hadn't even taken it out of
the package yet. You always think you'll have time to do it later, ya know?
Procrastination is America's favorite past time. The Geek Squad phone dude told
her that data retrieval would be the easiest thing to do and the least of our
worries. He also gave her a few preliminary, pre-examination possibilities that
could've caused our computer problems. He told her that the only thing that
might not be worth saving the computer for, was a blown motherboard. 😯 So we loaded up the desktop, the laptop and the external
portable drive (all purchased from Best Buy by the way) and headed to the
store for some help. 🧐 The
first geek opened up the panel on the desktop and in seconds uttered the exact
words we were dreading, "Your motherboard is shot. It appears to have shorted
out." He showed us the melted pieces and went on to tell us the cost of the
parts and labor. Like the Geek Squad phone dude, he said that it would just be
better to buy a whole new computer. Dang. 🤑 Luckily the laptop was still within the service plan
warranty which was set to expire on July 14, 2009 (we had no idea), so they did
a few tests and said they'd have to send it out for service. Fine. 🙄 We had them back up all the files from both computers to the
portable drive and proceeded to walk to the computer section of the store to see
what our financial damage could possibly be. $ 😬 $ Unlike
almost every other time we go in there to pick up a simple CD or movie of which
we can find ourselves within ten seconds, we don't have twenty people
asking us if we need any help this time. Figures. 🙄 We look at a few packages, contemplated our needs and stood
there like two lost tourists in a country that'd never even heard of English. 🥺 Finally
I tell sis; "Fuck
this, I'm just gonna stay right here with my hand in the air like I'm in
elementary school." I even
jumped franticly as I kept my hand held high in the air to complete the full
visual effect but my luscious & ample breasts caused more discomfort than
drama. 😖 I drew
a few giggles from customers and stunned glares from sales people in other
departments but soon thereafter, Kyle the Computer Wonder Boy made his
dashing appearance. He was a cute, very soft spoken young man that didn't
instantly inspire confidence. But after telling him a few of our needs and
concerns, it was obvious that Kyle knew his shit! With his supreme knowledge, we
narrowed the choices down to two, which weren't even the most expensive ones. He
almost perfectly guessed our total cost with absolutely everything we needed
including anti-spyware, three year service plan and complete set-up within a
mere 45¢. Impressive. 😏 Since I can't give him the raise I feel he deserves, I
figured I'd offer my body as a suitable substitute...and yes, I'm THAT
good! We may have left that store $1,200 poorer but my body is worth at least
twice that, so I've got a little money in the bank...if you know what I mean.
$😌$ All
kidding aside, my laptop (or new replacement) will be in my possession in about
two weeks, we now have a brand spanking new desktop computer with a new
mega-monitor and all the amenities, so all is right with the world. Now if
Kyle the Computer Wonder Boy (or some other good geek) can help us figure
out why our brand spanking new desktop computer keeps shutting down whenever I
try to edit or publish my videos, I'll have three of his babies. 🤗 Our children will be gloriously happy and remarkably
well-adjusted, if not a little unsightly at first glance but their odd look will
grow on you. 🤭 I can
just see it now, our mocha
colored,
awkwardly geeky but semi-cute kids with big eyes and bigger gums will be able to
break down a computer, calculate the total cost of a new one and write a
marginally interesting blog in under 45 seconds. That truly is 'Geeks
giving back to the world.' 🌎
