WHAT'S IN A NAME

I didn't go to church because I need to start packing for Maine.  I haven't started packing because if I shine at anything, it is procrastination.

Suddenly I find myself in need of naming my laptop.  She and I have become very close  and always saying "my laptop" seems very impersonal.  I say she is female as my fingertips are an extension of her keys and my thoughts and opinions are definitely female.  I can't imagine writing from the view of a male - my head would probably explode.

Most of the time we hum along in great harmony.  There are times however, that she drives me nuts when I can't figure out what in the world she is wanting me to do.  One great positive is that if she really gets to me, I can pull her plug, let the two of us cool off and come back when both of us are thinking a bit clearer. She does surprise me at times when she and my fingers put things on the screen that sometimes look like hieroglyphics and at others times reflect thoughts I did not know I had.  I love the later for without her, I would not be able to share my stories.  I know, I know - there are things called paper and pens.  But she along with her cousin the internet, allow me to pester the world in a flash.  (Ask my family - I never do anything in a flash.  My mind is always too busy doing other things.)

She may be having a problem with her innards that will need to be checked.  If that happens I will be most nervous until her problem is solved and I can take her home again.

So you can see, I am quite attached to my laptop.  We travel together, go the the library together, sit on the patio together and even work in bed together.

I really need a name other than "give me a break".

I don't want to use the name of a friend.  Some of my plants have them.  So if you see me talking to the foliage, I AM NOT senile - just speaking to my friends.

I'm looking for something short on the tongue and easy to type.

Any suggestions?

My suggestion for a laptop name would be "Lal" which was the name of Data's android daughter in Star Trek - TNG. Just a thought :-)
