First Date: Blink 182

My boyfriend just bought a Macbook Pro.

The thing is beautiful. But it also reminded me why I'm a PC.

All I need from a computer is a good word processor and some photo-editing software. I've worked with Macs during my three year stint in high school newspaper. We didn't even use the word processor. I despise AbiWord. MS Word is easy, and I know how to use it extensively, thanks to that computer class in high school. I see no reason to buy a computer that is more expensive by hundreds of dollars just to download PC software onto it.

Now, Photoshop is awesome [complicated as hell, but awesome.] And it works on my PC. My university bookstore has it for $99.99, as opposed to the obscene $299 they want for the download.

Of course, there are Mac users that will argue about the unlikelihood of getting a virus on a Mac. Look, all PC users need is some decent virus protection and to not be an idiot on the internet. I know how to effectively avoid a virus, etc.

Not to mention I grew up with PCs and they are pretty easy for me to use.

Now, Macs have their advantages. I know they have really great software for design, and picture and video editing. I'm not here to argue. You Mac users can enjoy your pretty, complicated machinery. I'm just saying...

My name is Kelsey. And I'm a PC.

Do you like my stupid hair?

Would you guess that I didn't

know what to wear?

I'm just scared of what you think.

You make me nervous so I

really can't eat.
