Oh Torturous Fruit
I don't know why I'm doing this to myself. I must have some innate masochistic element of my psyche that I'm not aware of. Last night I found out that I could play World of Warcraft on a Mac. I've been thinking off and on lately that if I were to get myself a new computer I would really like to get a new Power Mac G5. My computer at home is beginning, it would appear, to die and after all it is about three years old, not to mention that when it was built it was built minimally to save money.
So what do I do? I go to the online Apple store and start looking around. I've now gone through four or five configurations and I have about driven myself into a frothing frenzy. I could technically afford it…yes…technically…right? *sigh* I want one so bad and the torture is unbelievable. Coworker Jon isn't being helpful, he's egging me on and giving all the reasons why I should just do it, but my frugal (tight-assed) nature is screaming, "You'd be nuts!" at me.
I've already voted democratic and now I'm looking at buying a Mac. Ho boy, what am I becoming?
On the plus side I just ate grapefruit slices. OMG…grapefruit slices are the most wonderful thing, so good and somewhat of a technical marvel as I don't know how they get the skin off each slice. My imagination can only tingle and convulse at what sort of wondrous machination allows the skinning of grapefruit slices so as they can be made available to me for consumption.
I'm going to go back and visually masturbate at the Apple online store.
Someone stop me before I go too far!

OMG I will be so totally jealous if you get a Mac. I have wanted one for EVER (and that's a mighty long time)! I think they are totally worth the price of them - do you know if you can still play on regular servers, or if there are Mac only servers?

AH HAH! For EVER huh? I knew you were some sort of immortal being...but what kind? Hmmm...Goddess of some infernal realm? Vampire? Wood Nymph? Woo...I like Wood Nymp, those are hot. :D
I'm pretty sure that you play on the same servers...Trin was telling me that she thought Adam was playing on his Mac...My only real question would be do I have to buy a new copy of the game....though if I spent a couple grand a new computer I shouldn't worry about another $50.
Sadly, I seriously doubt I'll buy one, it would just be too irresponsible right now. But if I do, I'll let you come over and squeal over it.

Ah! So you want to hear me squeal.
...Over a machine.
What's sad is that I probably would. And keep touching it's shininess and metalness and the cool coated casing, all while going "Oooh" and "Aaah" and "Oh god Jeff I want it."

Would you wear one of those anime school girl outfits while doing that?

Um...yes. Because I'm an immortal vamp-anime-schoolgirl. ;)

Well that takes care of several fantasies at once. God, efficency is such a turn on.
