Sesso e la Città Eternà - Hyperventilation Redux

How to make me hyperventilate:

Mention that you want to be a daddy. When I ask you if your biological clock is burping again, merely smile and don't answer the question.

SO apparently likes jumping straight to the really really big life-changing relationship issues, like marriage and (God help me) kids, totally skipping over minor issues like 'commitment' & 'cohabitation'

I'm an old fashioned sort of girl. I was raised Catholic. Can we not just live in sin for a while first, then talk about marriage (Oh God. The Hives! They Itch!) and kids (You want me to force what through where & then be responsible for it for 18+ years?! Can't we just get a rabbit or a cat?)

Sesso e la Città Eternà - Nerd Porn vs. The SO

So my dad finally sent me my computer parts that Middle Sis & he had purchased for my birthday/Christmas present.

(Yes, we're talking about Xmas 04. Yes, my birthday was in January. Yes, I probably should have told him to include this year's presents at the same time.)

And despite the fact that my checking account is on the broker side of being in the black, I purchased the other main parts necessary to build meself a wee monster. Nothing super h4Rdc0R3, but powerful enough for now with plenty of room to upgrade in the future.

And of course it matches my room's decor. Just for you fellow nerds:

Case
A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ CPU (Venice core)
Kingston memroy 512mb 400MHz DDR
ATI Raedon Sapphire X300 SE 128MB DDR PCI-E TV
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB Serial ATA Hard Drive
Black floppy drive
DVD Burner
CD Combo Drive
Black 17" LDC monitor

(To buy is a 500W power supply, 512MB more RAM, 5.1 speaker set, extra case fan, black eyboard & mouse set, wifi PCI card & Netgear Wifi router/firewall. And a bloody computer desk to put it all on. IKEA, unfortunately, has zilch.)

So I'm going to build my first computer. Just thinking about it makes me all fluttery & sweaty & breathless.

It's nerd porn, baby. Pure nerd porn.

Or maybe it's more like popping my nerd hardware cherry. I've swapped out hard drives & pci cards & such but I've never built a full system.

Anyway I find it strangely kinky. Yet the parts are still sitting around my room. Why?

Because the SO distracted me.

Sesso e la Città Eternà - Things in Which Curly Takes Great Delight in Teasing Me

- SO's mushy afternoon text messages
- SO's mid-afternoon telephone calls
- the fact that SO's number pops up with 3 hearts on my cell phone display (I blame Nokia)
- SO stopping by for a mid-afternoon coffee break
- SO serenading me from under the office window to get me to come out for said coffee break
- SO's real motive for stopping by for a mid-afternoon break. Hint - ain't coffee
- SO's mid-coital marriage mutterings
- the merest hint of PDA: "Get a Room!"

True. But...

Salon Article: Jude the Not So Obscure:
What Jude Law's exposed manhood can teach us about straight chicks, porn, and why size really, really doesn't matter.

(sorry, you have to view a commercial before you can access content)

True. But let's not underestimate the power of a photo of a raging boner.

Look at it this way:

If a candid nekkid picture of Jude Law flaccid "reminds us of you, baby" then just think what a candid nekkid picture of Jude Law with a raging boner would do.

*fans self rapidly*

And I'm not even particularly fond of jude Law.
