I’ve been having some computer issues, but I don’t want my laptop to hear me talking about it. If it does, I’m afraid it will act up even more.

 

I realize it’s crazy to think like that, but sometimes I do. Be crazy, I mean. I touch wood after saying certain things, just about every day. I caress my old car’s steering wheel after getting the engine to turn over, just to let her know I appreciate her and to try and sway her to keep running. If I paid more attention, I’d probably catch myself doing such things all the danged time.

 

I don’t know why I anthropomorphize objects. But I’m fairly certain I started as a child. Maybe I saw an adult engaging in such behavior. Maybe not. It doesn’t really matter, though, as I know me and I’m prolly gonna keep doing it. After I log off here, I’m going to close my laptop, and tell it how much I love it and what a good girl she is. Because, even though I have occasional issues, she really is a good computer. And I love her.
