Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)
Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.
I wouldn’t dare to sit here as a human. I’m too big and would probably squish them all by accident.
But if I got to choose to be one, I’d go for the spiders. You get:
The rhyming style sounds so much like the Gruffalo :)
It looks like it’s going to run off if you put it down.
Oh and having to type

Before doing turning it off :)
I remember our family computer having an actual switch instead of a button.
Still did the toe thing though, down for on and up for off.
We both use baby for each other.
Which sounds weird for some reason, when I write it down like this. Even though we’ve been using it for about 20 years now.
This has cursed written all over it.
I disagree, those bastards will find a way regardless.
Sure! It’s this one:

Of course windows is going to be replaced the moment it arrives :)
A small 8 inch laptop that can fit in my everyday bag. It hasn’t arrived yet, so I’m not sure if it’ll be worth it.
It’s my usual birthday purchase impulse, the one time I allow myself to splurge for something for no other reason than “I want” :)
I hope to use it to wean myself off of phone apps and have something that is more under my control while I’m outside.
I don’t have a favorite but Error Detection by Nemophila is an often played song in my list right now.
Oh good, so it’s not just me :)
SJW seems to be having some problems I think.

Oh dear, now I’m wondering if I’m on your list or not :)
I only have two bot accounts blocked, not even sure if they’re still active.
The Planet of Adventure series (it came as a single book) by Jack Vance.
It was more of an adventure book than sci-fi. Light on the science but amazingly descriptive with the details of its world building. It was the first time I could read a book and really experience it like I was there.
I dug it out of my dad’s sci-fi collection when I was about 11 I think. It was a Dutch translation and came with a separate map. I loved that map so much, you could follow the journey and fantasize about all those other parts that weren’t mentioned in the book.
So yea, it’s the book that opened a whole realm of imagination for me.
Our car is called Tufje, based on some letters on the license plate.
My dad came up with the name as a joke and it kind of stuck.
This was in the beginning of May as well. It looked really gorgeous, but some of the flowers (tulips especially) were already wilting.
I think a week or so earlier would’ve been even nicer, though the weather was really good that day.
Cuddling with my partner in bed. Especially early in the morning, when I give myself an extra half hour to just stay close together for a little while longer.
