Heroin Laptop

Ahem.......My name is Brandi, and I too am addicted to my laptop. SO addicted that i purchased the blackberry personal w/ tethering so that i will ALWAYS have internet connection.....Even while driving. *hangs head* anyhow, you should really invest in one of those thingamajiggas that you stick into the cigarette lighter of your vehicle to keep your laptop powered up. Its a lifesaver!

this is a good one just got my freaking internet working so i am playing catch up but anyway my addiction is my mp3 player it is strapped to my arm all day while i am at work, i have my charger with me at all times so i keep it on a full charge, then there is my psp man i love that thing i have that also with me even at work, then last but not least i have a laptop also that i bought myself for christmas, now that i have the wirless setup on it is a rap now, so between my mp3 in my ears the laptop and my psp hec i even in the process of getting the digital book reader from sony that holds 600 book that you can down load from ebooks, my crew calls me the tech junky now matter what it is if i like it i am strung out on it for ever, i have a Tweety bag that i carry all my tech stuff, my laptop--psp plus games--a current book that i am reading--word search and my mp3 is strapped to my arm in its own arm band. were ever i go so do my tweety goodie bag lol, so i feel ya on that everywere i go my tech stuff goes with me.

Mine is a MSi Wind Notebook. I love it and take it pretty much everywhere. Chris calls it my Crack. Sometimes he will go.....There's your Crack whore Mamma getting her fix.

I hope that you hide the computer when you leave it in your car.

My electronic addiction is to my Zune mp3 player, I love that thing so much and it goes everywhere with me.

I'm so bad that if I get a Myspace alert while driving, I will log onto The Space on my phone and check it at lights or stopsigns. Heh.

My heroin is my desktop. And my EnV (cell phone). Uhh and my iPod. Yep. :)

I just reread my comment. I am so blitzed on paint fumes right now that I can't write a proper sentence. Don't let Kemari see the above - she will grammar whip my toxic little patootity.

After Sol was born I wrote on a breakfast in bed tray too. I have photos of me in pyjamas, ponytail, hunched over my tray and laptop with a big mug of coffee balanced precariously next to me. The tray thing must be a sign of greatness ;o)

I LOVE my Macbook Pro. Get him a Mac!

I know people...can you say discount?

I took take my laptop to the kitchen while I cook or while I'm watching TV, chatting and what not. I also love my iPod Touch :) Best. Invention. EVER!

I mostly use a desktop, but take my laptop around the house for playlists, or to appointments if I am going to wait, or vacation. Shopping though... Maybe you need a blackberry or iphone?

Hubby and I have been guilty of "stealing" wireless before. We were at a gas station somewhere in backwoods Oregon or Washington and thought we'd "just check" to see if internet was available. Next thing we know, we're asking his dad to pull over to the corner of the parking lot because we found an open connection and wanted to check our email.

He didn't complain...there was a couple arguing in the parking lot that kept him entertained for the 10 minutes it took us to check or email accounts.

Now we have iPhones. Internet in our pockets! Seriously...you should get one. Wal-Mart carries them now, you know.

If I'm home, my laptop is in my lap. And my Blackberry never leaves my side. It even has a name. And a gender. Don't judge me!

I got a bit like that with my laptop travelling Asia. Had enough though of lugging it around, so I got an iphone and am just as bad as you.

On another note... I have a radio transmitter thingy I plug my ipod into... it plays thru an FM station on your radio... heaps awesome!

I keep getting skeptical looks from anyone I tell that I'm bringing my laptop with me to Italy. But I'm going for three weeks! My farm will all be dead if I go that long without my laptop!

It's not really that bad, cause I want a couple thousand more songs on it, but I am attached to my classic 80GB iPod. I wanted a DJ to put about 4,000 or so songs on it for Christmas, but that hasn't happened....yet.

My laptop was until I got my iPod Touch! Now that sucker goes with me EVERYWHERE! It's smaller to carry, I can put all my music on it, movies (yeah right now I have Twilight on it), and it's got games. I can check my Facebook and my MySpace. Hubby thought it was a crackpot purchase until he started messing with it......guess who wants one now?

The question is... have you NAMED your laptop?

I go a lot of places with Keoki... He's a good friend. (My laptop.) And pretty much, my electronic attachment. It flits back and forth between Ernie (my blackberry) and Keoki, but right now, it's Keoki. (Keoki was originally "George", but we were at the gym and there was a Keoki working and he told me it was Hawaiian for "George" and so, Keoki had a slight name change. It suits him better, anyway....)

Yeah...

By the way, that "looking for a vein" line? Priceless... I needed that laugh today...

I have two; one is my BlackBerry, and the other is my iPod Touch. I do everything within my power to make sure they don't leave my side.

I just got my first laptop for Christmas and I love her. I mean 'it.' So far I've only had her in the kitchen for recipes and music while cooking and baking. I've yet to take her into the bathroom.

Like Nina, I have an HP with Vista. Who knew what computers could do these days? I have a slideshow screensaver that also shows videos so I get to watch snippets of home video while I'm cooking. I used to have an ancient desktop that was one step up from a Commodore 64.

At this point, my laptop is not that big of an addiction. We're still at the cigarette level. Although yesterday when I was supposed to be baking cookies, I couldn't seem to log off from talking to you and Richard via IM. So maybe I'm at the weed level now.

Nina, I think she might be my new best friend.

When I was pregnant my sweet hubby "lent" me his laptop so I could research baby items to put together our registry and so I could play on the net from the comfort of our bed sorrounded by what I liked to call my fortress of pillows.

Baby is now 14 weeks old and it seems he wants his laptop back. I think he is being all kinds of selfish.

You are so crazy!
I want a laptop. When I get up at 6am to work, i'd rather be on my couch under a blanket, than sitting at this little makeshift desk in my dining room.

I haven't taken mine to Walmart (only for fear of someone breaking into my car and snatching it). But I take mine to 'dollar' movies! (They got free internet, what can I say!).

There is a pizza buffet place here (Peter Piper Pizza) and they have free internet too. I will take the kids there and bring my laptop (and plug) and spend forever there. Or McDonald's. Sometimes when I take it with me and then don't get to use it while I'm out, I stop in the parking lot of a Peter Piper Pizza to check emails and what not.

The other night when we were IMing, I was making dinner and had my laptop on the counter. Now I don't feel so bad. At least I'm not the only junkie.

And fyi, I agree. DO NOT BUY A DELL. They are crap. You have to go through Dell or pay extra to replace stuff of theirs which is annoying.

My friend who gets us our 'movies' says HP is good and so is Sony. Stay away from Dell he says, but Toshiba if you're just looking for something basic and less expensive. Same with Acer.

I want a laptop. My computer has sat all these years in the kitchen. I get up to write on commercial breaks. To have it right there in my lap where I could type at anytime... oh for the heaven!

I just leaned over and told the PB "I want a laptop for my birthday."

And I have playlists for cooking baking too ;) In fact I have playlists for everything.

lol

my radio is my addiction. even more so than my TV.

LMAO. How bout my favorite electronic is my cell phone????? I cant leave anywhere without it. It really sucks to feel overly dependent on it.

Anyway, I like laptops. They're great... Except when they are from Dell. I've had 2 Dell laptops and BOTH SUCK! As a matter of fact, I have to call them, which I dont know if its just me but why are they all in India... and tell them to fix it before it crashes for the billionth time!

I really like the macbook but its too expensive. What laptop you got?

I take mine with me everywhere too and was so upset when I was flying back to florida from Wisconsin and the airport in Milwaukee had wi-fi you had to pay $7.99 for 24 hours of use... Uhm my wait was only an hour... in Fort Lauderdale Airport i t is free. I was upset. and I wroe and read the internet in the bathroom too...

They best not block this! They recently blocked Facebook too. I'm tired of these narcs screwing all the fun at work.

I take my laptop to the bathroom with me too...sometimes while reading your blog. I always close the lid on the toilet before flushing in case any pee or poop splatters get on my precious laptop. LOL! Oh, and by the way, I am so glad that you have another website to blog on besides Myspace because they blocked it on the computers here at work. Now I can read you when I'm at work too! YAY!

Ok so now I don't feel like such a weirdo, I also take my laptop to the bathroom with me....lol

Girl, you need a blackberry! It's much lighter and fits into your handbag...haha. Althoug I have one and it's nothing but headaches.
