Geek and the Geekette
Lee and I aren't your ordinary couple. The things we find we have in common mostly ranges from the creative industry we're both in and arty farty stuff to all things geeky. Animation, short films, Tim Burton, Star Wars, web designing, C64, Salvador Dali, cartoons and comics we loved since we were kids... Except for the fact that he's a Mac fanatic and I'm your above average PC user, everything else is a ball. Particularly when we get witty enough to start up some cartoon strip ideas! ^_^
As much as I'm delighted how Lee & I share so many geeky interests together, when I get similar responses from other guys through emails and messages telling me how impressed they are to "find a lady pro at the PC" I found their comments complimenting albeit sexiest. And I honestly don't get the fuss. I'd been a computer user since I was 9 when I took classes at school, and my dad got us the amazing Commodore 64 at home. Does it matter if I'm a net or PC savvy female? There's a lot of others here in the blogsphere.
Anyway, Lee obviously thinks that's an attractive trait. But I did get a bit clueless in one instance. While Lee was in KL, he made an observation and said to me -
I hardly notice any PDAs.
To which I replied,
That's cos I haven't taken you to Low Yatt. We've got a lot more gadgets over there. Might be cheaper than in Sydney too.
He looked at me, baffled. Then amusedly said he meant Public Displays of Affection (PDA). doh!

Grew up with the Apple IIe and all the fun games of that era (would be really un-PC (in more ways than one !) now.) What can you say but "bad joss, taipan." :)
