Traveling Thoughts

It’s Tuesday and I must say that I’ve been waiting since last Tuesday to write/release this post. This is week 2 in what’s promising to be something great, Top Secret Tuesday. If I didn’t explain it, which it’s possible that I didn’t, cause I don’t remember doing so, Top Secret Tuesday is the day, so chosen by muah, to blog about something your readers don’t know about you. Now, if some of your readers are your friends this may be difficult, but it’s all good, pretend they don’t read your blog and blog on. You following me? Good. Now back to Spartacus.

This story begins 4 years ago. I was having a fit because I wanted a new car. The old one was paid off so therefore it was time for a new car. It made perfect sense to me. But a good friend decided that she had heard enough of how courtney needed a new car, there was nothing wrong with my car, there was no reason to take and throw myself into debt again, so she told me to name him, if he had a name I would like him better, him being the old car. So naming of the things I own began, the car was named Mudpie, because I insisted on going 4-wheeling in my 1997 Ford Contour and rarely washed him, because why wash him if he was just going to get dirty again

So, I name everything, and everything I own is a “he” and each and every “he” has a name.

My insulin pump is Onyx
My laptop is Samson
My music external hdd is Leo
My data external hdd is Artemis
My wireless router is Zeus
My new car is Pegasus (yes, I finally got a new one, and he’s fast)
And my newest toy, my iTouch is Spartacus

There’s a whole lot more love going around when I name my stuff, it gives it a sense of belonging and it gives me a sense of…I dunno…but it’s really no different than Batman, he named everything, his lair was the Batcave, his car the Batmobile, he had a Batphone…everything was bat[thing]. I name my electronics…it usually happens fairly soon after opening the box and checking out it’s personality…
