Stickered laptops and posters on your bedroom wall
This is the third time I’ve sat down to write this post. Annoyingly, my blog has started to not save things after I’ve spent hours (well...) writing. C’est la vie.
I asked a group of my friends last week to get involved with a theory I’d been working on. For some time, I’ve been drawing dotted lines between the business of plastering your bedroom walls with posters, and decorating the top of your laptop with stickers. It’s wholly possible that the motivation is the same, but that doesn't mean I"m right.
In fact, the people that responded to my question proved a whole other theory. As it turns out, the ‘bloggers’ among them did indeed plaster their laptop cases to high heaven. Nude laptop theory was rife, causing some unrest within the group - but leaving your MBP to its own super-shiny devices is no bad thing. Actually, the people that tended not to decorate externally, personalised their desktops instead. The notion of keeping things tidy and in the right place seemed to be a much bigger issue for most, and it was certainly the most argued point - far more than stickers.
I don’t know whether this is because those that make a living by being naturally exuberant are more inclined to wear badges of honour, or something else. But those that straddled both the stickers and the desktop categories had roles/jobs that seemed to do the same for the most part. It’s made for an interesting experiment to say the least.
