Losing it?
I think more and more girls our age are losing it. I have, and i know ike has. (Mr. Trump revealed yes ike he did.) My ah er has. (i derived it myself) Xinyi's man's too busy imprisoned in the depriving(they say) barracks to take it from her( i hope). Independence darlings, where has our independence gone?i am completely un-independent. double negative prefixes because i thought i was in-dependent., you know, never dependent in that sense. have i lost it? or had i never any?there has been a wicked problem with my internet connection in my room in hall. prob with the network point, prob with my domain, prob with my lan cable, prob with the network cables, prob with this with that all idiotically techinical (thats IT). i cant even report a prob properly using the correct terms. Whats my domain name? whats my computer name? whats my userid? logon id? network id? username? they each are unique entities one from another i never could tell. domain, server, ip, os, spnp, vpn, i thought they were as hard as swedish dialects contracted, mathematically weaponed in gb,mb,hz, that bite and hurt.
tradition goes that damsel in distress invites male heroes to her rescue. So one two three four men came and went. while they screwed and fixed, i sit powerless on the bed(given room constraint). now man one and two said "ok, everything is fixed. please sign your name on this piece of paper" i said, "where?" " oh anywhere" so i did, at the top of the white document, annoucing my approval of their job well done. yes i surrendered. i signed a form announcing my disability. i just agreed to need a man, or two in this case. Man number three came with a car with rallyart stickers( my man, numbered four* for purposes of this account, later remarked that this sticker obsession is a male thing. hee stickers. i thought they are important up to the age of 7, then people move on to stones and catapults) Man number three is the classic aristocratic representative. LV wallet, modern nokia phone with big blue tooth to bite peoples ears, jacket -i swear if this was a London winter, it would have been a Burberry classic trench, leather shoes, renoma socks, (i didnt get to see the briefs band, sorry girls), cologne, smiles, fluent english, manly gestures, implicit flattery, dinner offers, that kind who goes away and drives back again to seem helpful and nice. I thought he was gay. Nice yes, all men are nice when they are looking for a plot. Plotting. Scheming farmers wanting to plant their seeds. I thought he was nice! but he was plotting. Man number four says it is male behavior.
So in the end, now, has my problem been fixed? No! Absolutement non! what good are men? They come with fancy machines, screws and tools, and leave, leave me problematized. Well, at least man number four is staying with me to look into the problem- the computer's, not mine. As for mine- the dependence issue- shall be dealt with. Actually, i am already dealing with it, listening to Steve Jobs talk about his sinful small apple was a start. Then i went on to pay attention to man number four when he talks computer. And i read her, she who is better equipped than a man, (yay i just learnt how to link html!) a figure i want to walk abreast with (figuratively la). Although hers is an apple tree which grows and flower and mine gates and windows that bow under. And i thought since i have a lovely domestic partner my ibm, i shall empower it. With midgety wizardry, we can have widgets! Widgets are things found here, at softpedia,and at konfablutor that can give us power. Not a big thing, but start small la. blogger has also this new feature.and i am resolved to take IT modules, and i, from arts, am going to surpass the computing students, arts student can compute too ok! Afterall i came from the science stream, it is just that i am currently swimming in the big world ocean where Virginia drowned and the Ophelia floats. currently because new fishes,new at swimming, need the help of a little current. But heard of walking with fishes? Come to the ocean, and you shall learn the science of that.
Ike, with your lovely nannynannynano, beware, rather be aware of the ipod effect. it is said that people who start owning small apples would desire bigger ones. They jump outta the windows, over the gates, to the tree of apples. I dont know, but i really suspect the Jobs is the serpent. Barriers are built to be overcome. I think it is just a matter of time before i jump and run. i will definitely bring my trusty ibm noir with me. Women, come on. time to read, cut down on Elle and Shape as you would calories. make sure you flip through PC Mags/Macs before you next buy Brides. Read, read, and fix your own problems.
Art is the love of my life. Art is life. Life is art. Art is all.Technology is art. Self empowerment too!

and of course, by losing it, i meant independence, and also, as in losing IT.
