2nd June 2009
After much deliberation with some friends, I decided to rename my netbook to L.G. Spock. No relation to LG (the Korean brand). It actually stands for L (
Death Note), Galileo (
Masaharu Fukuyama version), and of course, Mr. Spock (mostly the
Zachery Quinto version, but I like the
character in general). Despite the fact that I may be viewed as a super dork after my current decision, I am comfortable with my dorkiness and am willing to receive any contrary opinions. I'll just ignore them. xD
Lately it's just been an intense display of dorkiness on my end as well as a discovery of dorkiness in my friends. We were hailing each other with "live long and prosper" signs over dinner at a Chinese restaurant. I figured, might as well go all the way!
All three of these characters that my netbook is named after have characteristics in common:
1) Actions based on reason and logical calculations
2) Poker-faced emotionless demeanor
3) Incredibly nerdy/dorky
There is a very specific reason I became so obsessed with Spock... and it has less to do with how good he was in the movie than with one of my long time secret obsessions. I'll write that in my article about the movie itself... which... will come sometime. >_<

Although knowing me, I'll probably end up shortening his (yes my netbook is a "he", ahem) name to "L" or "Spocky" or "GG" or the like... >_<
*Namesake, as defined in the OED, can be used both for the name giver and the name receiver (yes, I like the OED).
