Living in cyberspace…
So Tom got me a new mac that’s all compact and cute. The keyboard is backlit, and the screen has a nice black frame around it. Sharp. Then he went out of town.
So here I was, kids down, and I am in bed playing around with my new toy, and I kept hearing this little bell ringing. Not a big deal as I tend to ignore non-threatening noises…
Turns out it was Tom trying to video chat with me, but since I had no clue that I even had a camera on this thing, or what was going on, he took control of my desktop remotely somehow (how DOES he do these things…) and answered his own video phone call and accepted his own invitation to video chat with me while cyber-impersonating me – is that even legal?
This was all happening behind some of my open windows so I really had no idea what was going on but I was glad that the annoying little bell thing resolved itself on its own, as most non-threatening noises in my life tend to do.
I can’t believe I can even verbalize this shit!
All of a sudden I coudn’t access my mouse and a little square pops up with my picture — except it was live and I looked ugly and horrified, because I truly was since I thought the computer was possessed.
Much to my surprise my picture started moving as I moved … then I realized it was me LIVE and then Tom’s photo popped up on a bigger screen behind me and starts yelling at me asking me how come I was ignoring him and didn’t answer the phone.
I screamed before I started laughing… It all happened so fast.
I felt quite violated …
