This last weekend was my friend Carissa's birthday. So, to celebrate, she wanted to buy herself an iPod. I lost my Apple store virginity because of her...
I guess I never really put that much thought into what an Apple store would actually be like. Here's how I saw it:
First thing I noticed was how many fucking ipods there were laying around. People were flocking around them like they had never seen one before. I picked up a nano and tried to get a song playing, but it didn't have anything loaded on it, wow. So then I picked up the one next to it and wanted to see what kind of stuff came loaded on em - I quickly found James Blunt and put the headphones on my girlfriend's head and moved on.
Next thing I noticed was some huge bitch of a 30" lcd screen attached to a quad core computer. It was running logic express and had a usb midi keyboard attached, and some emo punk in front of it. I was like wow zomg wtf this machine is awesome I want to play with it. But that emo kid was checking his email and I didn't want to read about his depressing life over his shoulder so I moved on...
I thought I would find something else, but I kept having to dodge around people groping the ipods oblivious to others around them. Then I saw more emo kids, fondling ibooks and other icomputers or whatever they're called. They were all basically either on myspace or checking their email.
By the time I made my round around the store, that kid had gotten off of the beast of a machine I had drooled over earlier. I grabbed the mouse, marveled at the screen, and then thought to myself "Oh shit, I have no idea how to use this fucking computer."
After about 10 minutes I figured out how to open an internet browser and proceeded to check my email...
I'm glad these machines are hella expensive, so I won't ever be tricked into buying one by some clever emo.
Then I called jrr up, and was like, "I lost my apple store virginity! Macs are confusing..." and he was like "No they're not! They're just too intuitive for you."
I think when I try for about 5 minutes to right mouse click and then remember their's only one mouse button, it's just not worth it...

Don't get me wrong, my life sucks about equally as much at best buy...
