O sweetness. Dakota the Computer is mine again. I don't know if you've ever been away from a computer for so long. In the five plus years since I've had it, we'd never been apart for more than 10 days. During that time, I'd been away from family, friends, my security pillow, my decade-old watch, from everything dear to me, for longer than that. But not Dakota the Computer. We're besties. We're an old couple, weary of each other (not wary), but can't imagine life apart, because while we've grown resentful and difficult, we've also grown comfortable. This is my favorite keyboard. These are the shortcuts and hums I know. One day soon, very soon, I will have a new computer. And we will be besties. But for now, Dakota is resting in my laps and I'm typing with my eyes closed. Just glad to be hearing the tapping of my fingers against it.
Er, that last bit sounded creepier than I intended.
