I recently rescued my formerly faithful avatar Chloe from my digital dust bin. It’s too late though. Chloe has changed. Gone is my proper, docile, obliging, dim-witted digital companion. Apparently, she wants to be liberated and have ideas of her own. Among other issues, she seems to want to be a hipster chick. Check her out here. . . .
Notice anything about my reawakened avatar Chloe? She didn’t used to be so sassy. The only part she got right was wishing you a happy new year.
And that wasn’t the worst of it. When I was scribbling down stuff for this blob, she actually made a pretty nervy suggestion. The conversation went like this:
Chloe: “Octo-woman, when are we going to shift to Tik Tok? Tik Tok is more lit than WordPress. WordPress is – well – old boomer. All my homies are on Tik Tok. I could launch a hair product line. I’ve got swag. We could go viral.”
Me: “ No, we couldn’t, kiddo. I’ve already been vaccinated.”
Chloe: “Huh? Octo-woman! You’re so cheugy. Don’t you know what Tik Tok is?”
Me: Well, if it’s a clock or a bomb, there’s no way I’m putting my WordPress blobs on it.”
Chloe: “Sheesh!”
It’s possible that anyone who carries on actual conversations with a digital entity is destined for the funny farm. (Same goes for the intense arguments I keep having with Alexa and Echo.) Yes, all my hopes for a dignified old age have been abandoned.
But meanwhile, before they haul me away, I hope you have the happiest new year possible, full of blessings, love, good health, safety, and lots of laughing!
Happiest of New Years to you and your Sassy Avatar! I really believe 2022 is going to be the best year ever. I sincerely hope Covid 19 melts away and we can celebrate with with family and friends freely in the future.
Hopeful New Year Mom and community!
Mom, your blogs continue to be one of my weekly highlights. Your humor, silliness and wisdom brings smiles, wonderment and joy! I love your creative and funny uses of technology. Your Avatar hasn’t kept up with your hipness!
I still think that you need to write Amazon about the various ways that you use Alexa!!!
Wishing you a happy, healthy, fun-filled new year!
Happy New Year to all my Ford family! (Including sassy Chloe!) hope to travel to your area and see you soon!
Happy New Year Gwenie and to your whole family also. Like usual your recent blog was funny and clever. However I may have become a bit cheugy in recent months because I did not understand a few of your Chloe’s comments. Hope we see you in 2022
So much sass LOL
