ink_n_impI have a new computer.
I mean, my old one's downstairs, awaiting it's doom at my hands as I try to teach myself how to fix things such as laptops what don't work no more, but I just got my new one today. The deal was worth it, and it's a HP, shiny, and WIDE. 17.5 inches to be exact. Not like I'm compensating for anything.
As soon as I got my mitts on it, I knew it was going to have a name. The first one to pop into my head was Megatron, but I nixed that, because even though it looks like a Megatron, I don't want it to meet it's doom at the hands of Shia LaBoef and a Cube. I wanted to name it something positive, something that would give it a long, healthy, productive life. Okay, so maybe it didn't work that way with my OLD laptop (it was named Jeeves, and seriously disappointed me by FAILING me!), but one hopes!
So, I immediately nixed the second thing that popped into my head, which was to name it Death, as in the Discworld Anthropomorphic Personification that loves cats, TALKS LIKE THIS, and doesn't quite understand humanity.
But as the last time I named something Death in an ironic way it died a terrible, terrible death at the hands of stupid boys, I shied away from naming my shiny new laptop that.
*sheds a tear for Chase B. Death*
And then, f-list, I was stumped, properly stumped. I couldn't think of a good name for the beast, and just as I was about to turn to you for suggestions--
The Heavens Opened.
Heavenly Choruses Sang.
Of Course, I thought. After all, I am a fangirl, and an anthropologist. And it was the main rule of their five year mission (no like I'm expecting this computer to last that long, but it's the thought that counts)--
And so, I dubbed my computer:
