Netbook Uses

This Craigslist ad that humoured so much that I'm posting about it. This guy's selling an old, kind-of working netbook, and he lists several potential uses for it. Pay special attention to the last one.

potentially:

web-only kiosk
security camera (built-in webcam)
streaming movie server
moving picture frame
sad and porous dinner plate

built-in keyboard has several bad keys, requires plugging in a keyboard ... everything else works ... plug in a monitor and mouse too and you have a tiny portable desktop.

has license for Win XP Home

currently installed very latest xubuntu 12.04 -- speedy operating system for web browsing, media stuff on a smaller machine -- better than XP Home

250 Gigabyte hard drive (upgrade)

2 gigs RAM (upgrade... 240-pin DDR, i think)

please include your phone number ... or somehow prove you're human. 

Echo

Echo,

I love you. I miss you so much. I've been unfocused these last few days because all I really want to do is spend more time with you, but now we're on opposite sides of the world, and any words of true feelings I might tell you might turn out sour later with time. I'm afraid of making promises that time won't let me keep. But I want to tell you that I love you, and that you complete me in many ways. Being so close with someone else? I don't recall. Feeling SO at ease, feeling such a perfect fit, physically? Mentally we are very different, you think at 20x my speed and still like to help me keep up with you. I feel happy and trusting when I'm with you.

So what can we do? We're in the middle of studies. Neither of us is going to quit our study programs to be with the other - we would never forgive ourselves. Promise future love, when we finish our studies? I could, but I'm afraid of not being able to keep promises honestly. Ours was a summer love, we knew it - but will it last? How can we know unless we give it time? We must give it time.

I wish you the best. You are a little diamond star, a remarkable jewel of energy and playfulness and intelligence. I hope to be part of your future, I hope to be your life partner. But while we still can't be with each other, I need time to finish this part of my life. And you yours. I want our good times to repeat. Let's aim for it. As stupid as it sounds, I want it if the other girl doesn't work out fine. I know it sounds shallow, but it's real. She is a big "what-if" in my life, and I must see what comes out of us, if anything, in the near future. I don't want to hope or root for anything - she may take me, she may not, we may work out only for a little while, or for years. I don't know. I just want to flow for now, and I will take decisions when I feel them.

I miss you, my git friend.
Truly,

Intended Sex Log

(What I began to write with the intention of a love and sex log with Echo, but barely started, shortly after meeting her)

Echo & Antonio Log: :D

Saturday morning, I arrived at the SFO around 9:30, right around the time of Echo's landing. I sat down in front of the gate, and looked as people from all over the world arrived - Mexico, Brazil, and Japan. An hour later, after a casual, time-killing chit chat with a japanese woman beside me, I saw a long gray dress walk on the TV, and I

As Echo unpacked in the room and I fidgeted with the covers on both of our beds, we talked about what we would do that night. It was saturday night, after all, and bars and clubs all around were buzzing with exciting San Francisco nightlife. It was still around 3pm when the Big Bang Theory topic came up, so I asked her to watch an episode before we went out. She said "sure", so I copied the episodes from my HDD, we lay down on the mattress.

She lay her head down on my shoulder, and I could smell a freshness in her hair typical for girls. It was on my nose
She looked so cute from that angle, so I keep looking down. She is so cute, I just couldn't help kiss her forehead again. She put heer hands on my hand because it was cold, she put one of my hands in her hand, and tried to warm herslef with m y body warmth. She gently squeezed and caressed my hand as I felt her face get closer. As she neared her face and emphasized her caresses, I felt the urge to kiss her cute eye. She reacted by getting closer and looking at me from below, with an expectant look that even I would not mistake for neutral. A few platonic kisses on her face, cheek, nose later, our faces slid with each other.

rounding up us on our body.


Her skin was the perfect combination of silk and a flower.
