The last couple days have been quite funny...starting with the early morning of the 16th. My sidekick and I were working online doing something or other when I kicked a wire under the table, effectively turning off the computer. Just PRIOR to that, the sidekick turned to me and asked, "what do you need?"...I did not answer her, instead saying, "!@#%" The side kick's eyes widenned but she burst out laughing...as did I, for the answer made WAY too much sense...
I couldn't just sit there laughing, however, I had to get back online...I had people to talk to, after all. So I went over to another computer and signed in...the same screen I had been facing at the other computer popped right back up...which, technically, should be impossible...but I am very glad that it was not, because I hadn't saved changes. I wasn't even disconnected from IM, which was pretty much miraculous. Sidekick and I stared at the screen in amazement for the rest of the evening...well, until the server crashed...and remained crashed...for 24 hours.
This did not stop us from our fun, however. Far from it. Sidekick broke out a present she had for me...a hot pink super ball. Now, I am not overly fond of hot pink...but I am very fond of super balls...anything that bounces all over rooms...those are cool. So we played "pink"...the object of "pink" was to bouce the pink (hence the name) super ball off all four tables...it was a skill that I developed well... Naturally, I won. I wanted to tip over tables and stuff and create a maze type thing...but instead we showed off stupid human tricks.
Sidekick has many of those...so I showed her how to properly draw dogs on one's legs.
Object Lesson #1: I drew a dog on my right quad facing myself...I explained to the sidekick that this was for MY pleasure.
Object Lesson #2: I drew a dog on my left quad that was, to my point of view, upside down. I then explained that THIS was for the pleasure of OTHERS. I believe that the sidekick understood the lesson...(that variety #1 is the most common for me...)
