Open Letter To My Purple Flashdrive

Remember those good times we had, about eight months ago, when we downloaded all that stuff and I set you down for a mere moment and then you were gone? And in my own pad, no less, not like I set you in my desk or heaven forbid, ON the bloody thing where EVERYTHING gets lost in a black hole of doom. No, you were well cared for those two entire weeks, and then...

You were gone.

And... you're still gone.

And... I've overturned, moved, and even shaken the couch of whose arm you were set. No flashy drivey.

I mean, you're bright friggin purple, man! You're not like the little black Kodak ones that I don't even know what's on them. You're not like the little white ones that could be mistaken for a stick of gum in a desperate bad breath moment or something.

Purple, dude. PURPLE.

I saw another purple flashdrive at the store the other day. Just sitting there, right at the checkout. Sure, it wasn't the same Nibbles-purple that you are, but it WAS purple.

I can't get another pink one. I've got one of those. And yellow, I've not seen, because, let's face it, Fin-muse wants the next one to be yellow. Or gold. Not orange, got one of those, can't have two. Green's taken. So is blue. There's red, white, black, silver, indigo -- yes, indigo -- and grey already. I'm obviously running out of colors.

And patience. If you're going to turn up, now's the time to do it, bub. That cute lil purple flashdrive I saw at the store isn't going to wait for me by the checkout forever, man. So the ball's in your court. I'm moving that friggin' couch on last time. If you want to be part of this shiny case full of information and fanfictional goodness, including one very special flashdrive dedicated to nothing but Erasure and Queen, today's the day. And if not, so be it, but when it's over, it's over. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. That's the last I'm saying on the issue. I'm counting to ten and moving the couch. You better make a decision, kiddo.

One..

Two..

Three..

Remind me... do you, by any chance, have a kitteh?

Hiya... I do, I have two, but they're both very open about snatch-and-grab operations. They actually tease me over the fact they've snaggled something... not so much like magpies, more like looting pirates who want to show off their booty. Or, something like that...

Hmmm..it could be a pixy or sprite...try leaving a token for him/her. Otherwise, you show that purple flash who's boss and get that cute little purple from the store...you be strong now...

BTW, where did you find your lovely Gildor? *sigh*

Could be one of those muses, too... purple has all the Haldir stuff on it, so any muse not wanting me to work on Haldir would have had reason to hide it...

Ah, Gildor... I took him off his decipher card and animated his lantern. Feel free to liberate a copy if you like ^_^

I had one do that... dissappeared on the arm of my sunroom chair.

Spawn found it 7 months later... sitting next to the sunroom chair. I've cleaned that room at least 3 times...

I've tipped the couch more times than I've joked about tipping a cow, and FINALLY the flash drive fell out today.

Love your icon, btw.

*...one very special flashdrive dedicated to nothing but Erasure and Queen...*


I hope that's like... silver or indigo. Somehow basic black or white would be just - wrong.

It's actually black, and very tiny, but it's because it's the smallest one and it's plugged in most often so I need it to be out of the way.

As soon as I find an appropriate one with sparklies, it'll become the new Andy & Freddie flash drive

*giggle* I should a pologize for giggling, I should, but somehow your open letter to the purple drive has been a ray of sunshine on a bleak day. Thanks!

Oh, and I hope he decided to make an appearance!

^_^ You're welcome for the giggles. I've posted a follow-up open letter to my couch, but you might want to make sure you're not drinking anything when/if you read that one or your monitor might get a shower
