I knew it: I am a girlie!
Feb. 6th, 2006 09:51 pmI have decided that I am such a girlie. My recent mild addiction to the Sims? Grown-up version of Barbie dolls? Wot i eschewed as child and am now reverting to in ancient age? Hah!
And new ibook? What do I spend many, many minutes doing? Decorating!! Housekeeping!! Homemaking!! I have chosen my exact shade of khaki green for my desktop background, nuanced richly to harmonise with Brad Pitt's equally khaki shirt -- Brad himself chosen meticulously and placed in the centre of my desktop, after much fussing and consulting of
birdgerhl. Now I am trying out every browser I can get my downloady hands on and then customising them all like mad, arranging my toolbars and toolbar menus and bookmarks just so, and then shuttling back to my post-its and moving them around the desktop to get justthe right alignment pattern and minimization grid, and then I hop on over to my itunes (omg, I have itunes!! I never had itunes before!) to customise and shuffle my songs around into ever more refined mood versions and... and...
The other day they were talking about gender and music on Radio Four and some expert or other had done a study and come to the conclusion that men tend to choose their music according to the group they want to be a part of, to announce tribal allegiance, and women choose their music according to their mood. Ah, LJ is so feminine! *eyes mood icon adjacent to music theme icon, hoho*
Oh no, I made a comment about MEN and WOMEN. I will be megafandomed!! Oh no, no. *hides*
*cackles*
*loves Mozilla Firefox best*
(because Safari ain't got no Home icon and how annoying is that for the Flyladied homemaking computer customising demon? Also, I like to have a little icon in the corner that turns and whizzes and tells me that the computer is working on something.)
T'h just shakes his head. He has had his new computer for 3 years. It looks like the factory default. Bzuh?? From Mars, I tell you.
And yes, hello, random mega-commentors / dementors: I know you can spam me with ten zillion examples to the contrary. But just because you can, doesn't mean you ought.
Whoa, typing into LJ with my headphones tuned in to one of my mega-finetuned itune lists is... something else. *feels as if on drugs*
