He's intelligent, he's never mean, he does anything I want, he's smooth, he's quiet, he's always dressed in silver, and I love him! His name is Oblivion. Oblivion is my laptop.
Oblivion and I have been great friends since we first met. In the past I had computers that weren't faithful to me, but Oblivion came along and made it all better. My dad fully approves of this union and even made the necessary arrangements for me to have him! Oblivion was at the top of his field when we first met, and was years ahead of his time! There is nothing my Oblivion doesn't do, and he holds onto all of my journals, pictures, art, music, and everything else I love. He's always full of energy and he obliterates viruses so he never gets sick!
There was one problem in our long relationship though. Ever since I first got him, I bought him Ethernet cards when I wasn't in an area in which his super brain could detect wireless connections from near and far. These ethernet connections were always a pain to buy. They broke easily, they stopped working for no reason, etc, etc. So here I was, in Japan with no wireless in the area, and the Ethernet card isn't functioning. Poor Oblivion and I had to spend so much time apart, except for when he'd play nature sounds or a Gackt CD to sing me to sleep. I was used to it though and would never blame my poor Oblivion. Ethernet cards suck, and Oblivion and I had been dealing with them for years.
So today, my supervisors came over to help me set up the internet and phone line so I wasn't paying unnecessary charges. Oblivion wasn't to happy about having a bunch of men play with him, so he resisted by finishing off the already dying Ethernet card so that they couldn't connect to the internet. My supervisors groaned and tried to come up with a plan while Oblivion laughed at them. But then... they found something!
Supervisor: "Oh! Here, you just connect the LAN cable to the back here! You're computer has this?! It's so easy to use! That's great!"
Me: "...WHAT THE?!"
Supervisor: "Yeah, no need for this Ethernet card!"
Me: "...I'VE HAD THIS COMPUTER FOR YEARS AND I DIDN'T KNOW IT COULD DO THAT!!!!"
That's right. Oblivion doesn't need Ethernet cards! I have been wasting my money... all these years... replacing and replacing... begging my friend back home to send me a new one in Japan since my current one is broken... and all this time... I NEVER NEEDED IT!
Oh Oblivion... you're too good to me. How could I have doubted your abilities?! Why didn't I have more faith in you?!
