its a digital world and i'm a PC girl

so, mizi had an appointment at THE GENIUS BAR at the apple store at 6:00 pm. she was to be there NO LATER THAN 5:55 pm. Nicole and I went with her... i hate going to the apple store...and i'm pretty sure by the end of the visit, they hated me there too...

i don't understand why those of us who have chosen sony, PC, or any other product over apple must be scoffed at and discriminated again for our choices. honestly... i would never carry an iPhone, iThis or iThat. I LOVE sim cards. and buttons. i can text and drive at the same time. i love that my speaker on my sony ericsson is way better than that on an iPhone... no, i don't watch youtube on my phone... but that is ACTUALLY what i have a computer for.... a PC actually. and my PC's have stood by my side for years and i love them and i have no need or want to use a damn mac... my mp3 player has never been an iPod... for the 1 month i had an iPod it was fine...until it dropped once and then overheated to the point where it almost caught fire in my car... i'll stick with my old tiny mp3 player that fits so nicely in my pocket...

so WHY OH WHY OH WHY do i get scoffed at!? we really don't judge mac users, we don't raise our noses to them, we don't wear our gear around like we're walking billboards...i actually admire their use of design... and i find their commercials aesthetically pleasing... i just don't really want an apple tattoo...

here is the part where i beg you all to be open minded... use your powerbooks... your iPods and iPhones... wear your gear... but don't look down on my equipment... my phone does everything yours can and i bet yours can't teach you to play guitar... mine can. and its sexy. very sexy phone that has dropped a million times and never broken.

i'm proudly a PC girl... and not enough people stand up and say that.

so stop discriminating... snobs.
booyah.

a quotable leap-month

you know... living in america, i forget sometimes how nice it is to hang out with people who have parents from the same hometown as my parents... we were unsure of how the reunion of nazareth was going to go, but from it, i was able to meet an unforgettable group of people who share a common background and parental experience with me... it was a great weekend... which ranged from breaking the ice at the very appropriate and ironic ali baba's... hanging out at paris hilton's birthday bash at pure, where i wanted to dance and not ogle her... rouletting...and oh so much more... hopefully i'll meet up with them again soon (miami anyone?)... and here are some of the amusing quotes that emerged from the weekend:

"just call everyone mike... elias just doesn't work here"

"hey lets be that table...*obnoxious clapping ensues*" (elaine and i proceeded to bust out into the typical nazareth clap-styles that each different guy somehow learns"

"if you could, just tell him the brother of his father's cousin's husband is looking for him."

"by the end of the night, as people continue to drink, the math in the song gets interesting... its kinda like elaine's math is all the time..."

"in two years, let us once again meet and bring the holy city back to the city of sin!"

other amusing quotes from febuary:

"in a world of color, you, my dear, are a sea of gray"
-me in regards to a very unpleasant girl at the pharmacy.

"no don't look like a hoodrat at all... you look like a poet."
-miziana in regards to my outfit

"your style is the influence of the radical muslim movement on society. do you deny that your ridiculous wardrobe is a bin laden conspiracy??"
-my mother, comments like these make me love her so much more.

"sometimes...you're so crazy you outcrazy yourself."
-daniel

"...i don't know how to turn bread off of fire..."
-me... i'm glad daniel listens to me, because i have no idea what i'm saying sometimes

warning

ever have the feeling you're running somewhere... and you're running and running and running... and all of a sudden, you stop... and you have no idea where you are going or what your going to do when you get there?




daniel warned me.
