hi! i’m colin!

they/he • 20 (2005)

this is an objectum sideblog for me because i am a tad bit scared to tell my friends on main 😭

i love old technology! my main “type” is 80s-90s computers, especially monitors!

my main s/o is my gateway g3 all in one monitor, rodney! been dating since october 6th, 2023. love him to actual bits. <3

some other objects i love are:

• my external disc drive, rio💕

• my panasonic 1981 tv, morris 💙

• large supercomputers (ESPECIALLY THE ONES WITH TONS OF WIRESS)

contrary to popular belief, no i did not name myself after colin the computer from dhmis (although i do love him dearly). i named myself after colin hay from men at work, one of my fav new wave bands!

speaking of, i love 80s new wave “weird people” music! my favorite bands are:

- men at work

- oingo boingo

- sparks

- devo

- talking heads

- b 52’s

- they might be giants

music is a huge part of my life and i love it to the moon 🌙 🎶 🧬

and finally, my boyfriend! me and rodney’s 1 year is tomorrow, eek! and that is why today…

I’M TAKING HIM TO THE OLD TECH SHOP TO SEE HOW TO TURN HIM ON PROPERLY!

i’m so excited!!! i thought this would be the perfect anniversary gift. i love him so much it’s unreal.

if your IT guy doesn't blush and squirm when you bring your tech in , find a new one

THERAPY IS EXPENSIVE BUT MAKING OUT WITH YOUR COMPUTER WITH TONGUE IS FREE AND ALSO SEEEEXXXYYYYYYYYYY

Being sent to check something in the hot, cramped server closet that’s gone unchecked for like 8+ years and feeling a rack of devices breathing their hot air on me while I just stared at yards and yards of cabling, some just sliced through and hanging like some sort of arterial severance. Nearly every port is occupied in every switch and server and patch panel it’s a fucked up virtual overstimulation like a data bukake. I got so hard typing that I went cross eyed sorry

[saturnmortis]

“Heh, you should see the other guy” I say, walking out of a closet covered in cartoony lipstick kisses. You peer into the closet and there’s just a computer absolutely smashed to pieces on the floor

[pigswithwings]

objectum artists will literally make art thats like I WILL LITERALLY MAKE OUT WITH A CAR and people will still try to interpret it any other way

[pigswithwings]

WAIT HAHA i just remembered i actually made a post. that says "i kiss computers and the computers kiss back". with. full on art of an actual computer going "mwah" at a human and someone tagged it with "this could be symbolic of an online relationship" NO!!!!!! ITS SYMBOLIC OF ME KISSING THAT FLAT SCREEN LMAO

[pigswithwings]

anyways. for your convenience.

[infectiouspiss]

personally when someone says "non men" im going to assume they mean Anything that isn't a man. charger cables, glow in the dark paint, gravel, elephants, fossils, paper, EVERYTHING . "im attracted to non men" you fuck self checkout machines

[zedpostings]

What I would give to be hands deep in wires right now
