My bestest friend for many years is a guy named Michael, who makes fun of me as much as possible. One of his favorite targets is my love of all things Apple. A few weeks ago I was talking about my ridiculous new Vin Diesel/The Fast and the Furious obsession, which, strangely, he did not make fun of (he once asked me to make a list of all my BSOs because he couldn't keep track of them -- this is also the guy, though, who helped me get into media fandom and meet all the terrible enablers I came to know in the Media Cannibals -- but when I got to 100, he told me to stop and mimed a headache), and I thought that was strange. Because he always makes fun of my guys. Turns out that all the gamer boys look upon Diesel as some kind of hero, "one of us made good" because D&D and other games were a big part of his life. I hadn't known this before, but now I see it everywhere.

But he knew very little about F&F so I told him about the vid I was making and how, as [livejournal.com profile] katallison so perfectly put it, the slash, she writes herself. Because the two guys are always having eye sex, I said. Michael said, "Eye sex? What's that?" And I said, "Eye sex, you know. They're always looking at each other with these intense gazes. You keep expecting Dom to bend Brian over the hood of the car and do him right there in the parking lot."

And Michael said, "Oh! EYE sex. I thought you were talking about one of those Mac things of yours, like iPods or iTunes or something." I haven't laughed that hard in years. I could not stop. It killed me. So I had to make an icon. It's so perfect -- I have an iBook and an iMac, and all the iLife applications, and I want an iPod... I'm having iSex. So that's the story of my icon.

That's very funny--and I love the icon.

ROTFLMAO! That is the funniest icon I have seen in quite some time. Also quite possibly the perviest.
*snerk*.

The icon is cute without the story, but with the story it progresses to freakin' adorable.

I tried to put a blue iPod mini in there, but it looked as if it was coming between the iMac and the Titanium Powerbook, and we couldn't have that. Slut.

I think the reason why Seattle is such a huge Macaddict town is that many of us chafe under the yoke of the opressor here. We are rebel freedom fighters! The Force is with us!

After our recent experience with Dell (asshats), we've been seriously considering making our next computer purchase an Apple.

I won't say that they don't have their own asshatiness themselves (there are still things about Apple that just infuriate me, such as the fact that you have to get a third party product to optimize and defrag, and for a vidder that's a biiiiig issue, as well as many other third-party things that come standard on a Windows machine), but the good aspects outweigh the bad ones by far for me. I know even with my limited video programs, I've had far fewer problems and lost files than any of my Premier/Windows using friends. I may be podunk, but I'm fine with that!
