[brain.I/O] Wow. My I/O is fucked...

[wispfox]

I keep mishearing, misreading, misspeaking, and mistyping. All day.

On the plus side, it's really amusing!

On the minus side, excessive amounts of mistyping and misspeaking make it much more difficult for people to figure out what I mean. Even the ones fluent in typo and misspeaking! :)

La, la, la!

(mewing mountains! Bonsai mewing mountains! And scorpions of silliness!

And no, those were not the result of my I/O being fucked. Perhaps the result of me being especially silly as the result of fucked up I/O, though.

Huh. How many times can I use the worked 'fucked' in this parenthetical? Or post, for that matter?

What a long parenthetical!)

That's fucked. ;)

Yes! And apparently so is my brain!

Perhaps reading through the computer stories in the link on your last post broke your I/O. It could happen.


I baby sat a computer cluster while I was in college and have a few such stories. It was a cluster of Macs in the English department. I had one student refused to work on a "broken" computer. I checked it out and it was "broken", according to the student, because the desktop pattern was changed. eclectic_1 had been visiting me in the cluster and she'd edited all of the computers to have a repeating smiley face background. Biting my tongue I changed the pattern back to a neutral gray to "fix" it.

computer stories: nope - I was already like this before that link. Have been for a few days now. :)

computer cluster babysitting: I did that in college, too. 'Twas often amusing, and I'm really good at not laughing at people. Which is helpful. ;)

Yes, not laughing at those moments is a good thing. I'm mostly good at this as well, though sometimes I can only cover it by putting on a look of deep concern and focus. "I see. Yes, that is a problem. Lets see if I can find you an 'any' key".

Yay for common babysitting experience!

Heh, I've never heard you swear IRL. This resembles normal Australian speech :-)

[wispfox.livejournal.com]

*laugh* I don't often swear, 'tis true. As with other forms of speech, though, I tend to get stuck for a little while. Rather like this post. :)

I was, however, also well trained, mostly by the fact that, in the US, people who swear frequently don't have much vocabulary beyond swearing.

Also because having one's mouth cleaned out with (bar, not liquid) soap leaves an impression (and yes, I'm serious).
