My love-hate relationship with computers

You're so smart, Sandra.

Wow! You know a lot, Sandra.

You're, like, the best conversationalist ever, Sandra.I hear this from time to time, as have we all. It's great, isn't it? To be complimented on something that comes naturally to you? Whether it be on your skill with cooking, rollerblading or, I don't know, full-contact origami...we all loves ( Read more... )

Ha, I'm exactly the same! Like if I had to read a book for class I wasn't interested in... I'd have to read the same sentence five damn times because my mind kept wandering in the middle of it. BORING.

YES! I'd pass all my tests with flying colors, but ask me what I learned a week later? "Huh? I took a test?"

That is definitey something we have in common - I am a slack-jawed, slobbering imbecile when it comes to computers. I can't even download music (seriously).

I have no abilities in cerain subjects either. If I wasn't interested in particular subjects in school, I never learned. I probably have a basic, remedial education in any form of mathematics. I can add, subtract, divide, and muliply. But, beyond that, I am absolutely hopless.

btw, "full-contact oragami" had me laughing my ass off for about 5 minutes! I'm not much of sports enthusiast, but you can bet your ass I would pay top dollar to watch and/or participate in that.

Oooooooh muh gaw, I'm the same! What's funny is that my job consists mainly of mathematics. I get paid to suck, in other words.

And oh, maybe I shouldn't be saying it like that out loud.

Honestly, considering where you work, that reminds me of the famous City of LA Math Proficiency Exam, which has questions like,
3. Rufus is pimping for three girls. If the price is $65 for each trick, how many tricks will each girl have to turn so Rufus can pay for his $800-per-day crack habit?"

Is it a tamer version of that, or am I guilty of romanticizing your job description?

No, it's exactly like that. They HOs and they know it.

I have to admit, I read that as 'full contact orgasm' and I just had a fit laughing. Then I realized it was origami.

*headdesk*

sexion8 January 6 2006, 15:30:46 UTC

I like your version better!

deviantauthor January 6 2006, 16:17:54 UTC

LOL--thanks. *g*

I am not "so smart" and I don't know a lot about a lot of things. The list is long: sports, automobiles, the periodic table of elements.

I could give a flying **ck about any of those subjects beyond what I have to know. As far as me talking to you goes? They ain't coming up. So for my own selfish intents and purposes, you're brilliant, and an amazing conversationalist.

Even if it's something I know I should learn, need to learn, a matter of life, sex and death to learn...if it doesn't grab my interest, my brain pulls the plug and what little knowledge I did manage to gain drains all the way back out again. And that's not smart, is it? In fact, it's pretty damn lame.

Einstein would have to call the operator to get his address when he got lost. He'd go for walks and get lost in thought and not know his address to get home. He was, obviously, a freakin' Einstein. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I confused an MPEG with an MP3 the other da
MP3=Mpeg, layer 3. Technically, you were right.

Anyway, I'm a hopeless student. You start ( ... )

You know, you look SO much better in imperious than you do in emo.

Wait. What? Who's emo? Did this post sound emo? No, no, no, I'm not depressed. I was just reflecting on the irony of people thinking I'm this fountain of knowledge when I'm...kinda not. My god, if I didn't self-deprecate every once in a while, I'd be an insufferable megalomaniac.

On the other hand, you look damn fine in emo as well.

Ok, we need to start talking more because this flattery? Is addicting. Even if you do flatter other women in front of my face, you heartless rake, but oh well.

Eh, we shall all revert back to a feudal society anyways.

sexion8 January 6 2006, 15:37:26 UTC

Aren't we already a feudal society?
