Nearly two months after the purchase of my Apple G4 12 inch powerbook I've settled on a name. Kaoru. 薫. To smell fragrant.
He's a character in the latest book I finished, mentioned previously, by MURAKAMI Ryu:randomcarbon: he's a server at a cafe who couldn't identify with anyone in high school because he was too smart. And he was a jerk to those lower than him. When he did find someone of his intelligence level, he assumed they would become great friends. But this would-be friend himself was smarter and looked down on Kaoru. Which led to a mental break down and the inability to eat anything other than CalorieMates.
Liss: if that's not you, i don't know what is.
randomcarbon: Exactly!
randomcarbon: And! It matches my computer too. Thin coffee server, thin computer.
Liss: ooh
randomcarbon: And I'm pretty thin too.
