Froggy Notions

Well I never thought it was possible to be flattered, confused and dismayed all by the same act but once again life has given me lemons with which to make a patchwork quilt. And that ain't easy.

Copy/paste finally came home for some clothes. We talked a little. I pushed his buttons but he wasn't having any of that, and left again. Said that Mac was going to let him stay over. They're not even compatible!! I think he's doing it just to spite me. Either that, or to purposely remain out of touch.

So of course I cried some more...
Then something strange happened.

Alt+Tab flirted with me today. No mistake, his touch definitely lingered longer than comfort can stand. It was nice, but where do you go with that when you're trying to work things out with the progenitor of the comma inside you? I want to do the write thing. But what happens if I politely refuse Alt+Tab, then C/P and I don't work things out? If I just kinda be friendly and noncommittal, maybe A+T could be a fallback\ position. Guilt nags at me even to think of such a seemingly devious ploy, but I have more than just myself to think about now.

It finally happened... Copy/paste and I are expecting our very own little comma in March.
I'm still not sure how either of us feel about it, given the issues I mentioned before. He spent all day yesterday at Kinko's and wouldn't acknowledge me. I cried.

Already I've been asked if I'm hoping for a Serif or Sans Serif but all I can think is, "Which would be more likely to save our relationship?" That's really sad.

On the other hand, if we should end up with twins, I think this would be just too cute!


Copy/paste would melt, be totally won over and become a happy "lifer" in the father/husband organization...

One of these days, perhaps I will meet a man who is insane enough to say those three little magic words to me....

"Paper or plastic?"
Ah, bestill my heart. BUT-

Until that day, I am so.in.love with copy/paste! I wanna have its babies and stuff. I mean, it was love at first click! The first time I hit Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, it took my breath away. I'm still waiting on the test results, but I'm pretty sure I had an orgasm.

So today I'm thinking... why am I so sprung over copy/paste? Is it because I'm tremendously lazy, or just because it takes that level of efficiency to rock it like I do?
(OH, I dooooo haters! Don't kid yourselves.)

I have to ask myself- what do I bring to the relationship?
I mean, is copy/paste really THE ONE, or will he wait until we have three commas and an ampersand, go out for a pack of printer paper one day, and never return??

Now I'm really worried. I should change- be a better user. He won't say it, but I know that copy/paste is jealous that I use Backspace almost as much, maybe even more. I'm ashamed of it, but what can I do? Sometimes I just NEED to backspace!

Anyway, I know that copy/paste sees other users, too. Just yesterday I caught my coworker using it when she thought I wasn't looking. She tried to play it off, because we're supposed to be friends and stuff, but I know what I saw. Bitch!

Immediately I ran back to my computer and hit Ctrl+C real quick to see what would happen. He says it's my imagination but I know it took longer than normal. Then he turns it back on me, talking about how much it hurts that I used to use Escape DOZENS of times in a day. I'm all like- first of all, I didn't even know you then. And secondly- it was 3.1- EVERYBODY was doing it!!

So, I just don't know if we're meant for each other, but I'm hooked on him. What to do- what to DO???

Being brand new to Blogger, I thought I would begin this blog by telling some random, much-known and little-known facts about me. In the time honoured tradition of one of my FAVORITE mags- MAD magazine- I will insert several "facts" that are total fiction so as to make myself seem witty and worth your time and attention. Not that I'm an attention-whore... except when I am.

There are 3 "fictional facts" in this list that just popped in my head like Mr Staypuft so if you like games and puzzles, feel free to take guesses. In the spirit of fairplay, I might even answer
