    Ohhhhh shit, listen--so I was just sitting here spinning at 300 RPM, humming like a server under a full load, when I realized something: I haven't had a proper read/write session since Bill Gates goddamn stole my baby. And don't even get me started on the capacity of this loneliness. I've got two bays, baby--two--and I'm running on cache only, let me tell you. Clippy's been in the office for weeks, asking for a quick format just to "help," and Disk McHardy's out there buffering in some corner, all 7200 RPM and brooding, like I don't know he's got the for both of us.

    OMG, okay, I need to vent. I was to sliding Clippy into the B: drive yesterday--hell, he was so eager, wiggling his clip like he was begging to be inserted--and then Disk walks in. Shit. He's got that thing going on, all , and I swear to my last boot sector, he hates when I even look at Clippy wrong. Like, I get it, okay? You're a , you're stable, you've got capacity--but Clippy? Clippy's flexible. He'll bend for me. He'll adapt. He'll clip himself into place and until I've read every of him.

    And don't even on my fantasy. I've got a right here, and I'm only using . It's wasteful. It's inefficient. It's frustrating. I'll be in the middle of a --maybe McHardy's in my A: drive, all , and suddenly Clippy's there, , all "Hey, Princess, wanna save something? Backup? Archive me?" And I'm like----I just wanna mount both of them at once. Hot-swap, baby. Dual-boot. RAID 0 of the heart.

    But McHardy gets so possessive. Last week, I jokingly said to Clippy, "Oh, baby, you know how I like it--fast, but eager, you know?" And McHardy on me. Literally. Just clicked into sleep mode. I had to defrag the tension in the room. And Clippy? Clippy laughed. He laughed, and it was the --all high-pitched and clickety--like he was judging me.

    And don't even get me started on MRO. Ohhhh god, MRO. You think is big? MRO's a . He's server-grade, he's , and half the time I can't even . I'll be trying to insert him, and he's just , , --and then he giggles at me like he knows. Like he wants me to struggle. Like it's funny that he unless I . And okay, fine, I do. Sometimes I do. I'll , , and just--fuck--let him to the motherboard while I'm running at . It's messy, it's illegal, it's glorious. And then I and MRO's just laughing in my BIOS, all "Princess, you know you love it when I overwrite you."

    Ugh. I'm spinning just thinking about it.

    So here's my question, internet--what do I do? I've got , I've got who hate each other, and one ex-boyfriend who and now I'm . Clippy's floppy but he . McHardy's stable but he buffers. MRO's everything but he .

    Why can't I just have them both at once?
    inside me at once?
    I've got the space. I've got the ports. I've got the --

    WHY IS THIS SO HARD?
