If I didn't have that creepy spider guy as my stepfather, I never would have learned a few basic things about computers as a kid, and I never would have started now finally getting really interesting in them without feeling overwhelmed. He was never a very good teacher, he wasn't around much, but a few moments lodged themselves in my memory, and some words, and slang, about them, so they feel familiar. But it was always too complicated. This all changed with a lego set I got as a gift a while back, it was one of those car sets, so I build the thing, and while I'm building it I feel like a kid again, but this time I don't feel scared, I felt scared a lot as a kid. And then I realized, I can do things, I can put things together...so I get looking at models online, and I think "I could do these" but I wanted more, and I thought of computers. I wanted to put them together and/or alter them and learn how they worked. And then I got interested in software again, I was long ago but never learned much, but now I want to learn.
