prologue
let me share how creepy intuitive my computer is.
part 1
i made this quiz for my class as word doc. i spelled the protagonist's name wrong throughout- "domatila." stellar. i saved the document "domatila."
part 2
i actually re-read part of the story to see that not only had i been spelling the name wrong, but therefore also pronouncing "domitila" incorrectly all day long in class as well. i guess that's what happens when you teach your class a story you haven't read because you were too lazy to open a book all weekend and instead caught up on season 8 of antp. (america's next top model) they have the marathons on the weekends. yeah, so anyway i changed the spelling of the name WITHIN the document but didn't bother to change the title cuz who cares. that would not be an acceptable answer on the quiz "cuz who cares."
part 3
i attached the doc to an email to myself (then i don't have to save it to a "flashdrive" which i don't have because i refuse to believe that the world is done with disks even though not one computer in my whole school has a disk drive).
part 4
i checked my email. the document attached is now titled "Domitila." FREAKY.
epilogue
no, there is no scientific explanation for this. "Domitila" was not the first word in the document. there is something bigger going on here in that my computer is thinking. i am going to feel bad when i shut it down. like it's the electric chair.
lights out.
