An Unhealthy Love Affair With My Apple Computer … And The Best ‘Date’ I’ve Ever Had

Ya’ll just knew this would happen one day. Since I had given up on dating a long time ago, it was only a matter of time before I decided to start ‘dating my computer.

I’ve been creating a ‘video’ about my unhealthy love affair and the serious addiction I have with my Apple Computer. I asked one of my girlfriends, who just happens to be a professional photographer, Jen Rinaldi, if she would be so kind to take some photos of me with my Mac for my little movie project. After she saw the ‘rough draft’ of the video in production she happily agreed. Thanks Jen!!

The above shot is just one of my favorites. The rest of the photos (including this one) will be posted in the movie. Once I am finished with the construction, and editing, I promise to blog the completed version of the ‘movie’.

(Oh, and apparently, you can twitter photos. As I know some of you already saw this photo last night!)

    well,,, all i wanna know,, is why do you think it is unhealthy???? LOL can’t wait for the movie!!

  2. terri says:

    I can’t wait to see the movie. I’m so glad you’re going public with your “affair.” This makes me feel more normal about the fact that my #1 priority after work, when I wake up, whenever I have a break…. is to get on my laptop and get online. And my husband thinks I have a problem. Pfft!

  3. Selma says:

    What a brilliant shot. Glad you and Mr. Mac have gone public at last!

  4. Ferrell says:

    Haha this is great and it really hits home with me. I just divorced PC and I’m already dating Mac. She runs really hot and I’m getting used to that but it’s all so user friendly. I’ll never go back with PC; I don’t care what the alimony payments are, it’s a bargin.

    Paisley:
    Well, I knew YOU would understand! The movie is a work in progress. I have to get a few more photos taken, but once its ready, Ill be sure to announce it to the world.

    Terri:
    I dont think you have a problem! Thats what I do. Morning Noon & Night. All Lap Top All The time. 24-7. I even sleep with mine.

    Ingrid:
    I think so too!

    Selma:
    Yeah. It was only fair to MAC to let everyone know how I really feel.
    xxoo

    Ferrell:
    I divorced PS two years ago and Ive never looked back. Dating a Mac is much more rewarding.

  6. Lee says:

    I love the photograph. Very classy. I’ll keep my comments about your choice of paramours to myself, though. πŸ™‚ Let me know when the movie is ready for public consumption.

  7. the real best friend says:

    that was great….wait till they see the rest of the photoshoot. i was dying when you guys were taking that shot.

  8. Meleah says:

    Lee:
    I love this photo too. There are alot more where this came from. The movie will crack you up!

    Tiffany!:
    Girl, this shot was YOUR idea. It came out sooo awesome. As usual I had the best Friday night with you and Jen R. I know you saw the rough draft of the movie already, and you can attest to its awesomeness.

  9. BobG says:

    Lucky computer. That is a good photo of you; any sane single guy/computer would be happy to be sitting across from you.

  10. Dang! You look positively GLOWING! πŸ™‚

  11. I really can’t stop giggling when I see the serious look on your face in this photo. And the tears that were falling last night when I saw the behind the scenes video that I took of you…so great…I needed a good laugh.

    The sneak peek of the movie filled me with laughter…and I can’t wait to see how you incorporate the rest of the photos from this night (plus any others we didn’t get to that we will this week…passenger…twirling…etc etc) Shhh…I don’t want to ruin the surprise!

    Thanks for lodging at Hotel de Jennifer Friday with Tiff-y. πŸ™‚

    (hmmm..i hope this comment didn’t go through twice)

  13. Jay says:

    HAHAHAHA! Yeah, well, as someone who is online almost before the eyelids are fully opened of a morning, who am I to criticise? Me and my Mac have been an item for quite a while now. I dont have such a classy photo of us though! Your friend is good!!

  14. Meleah says:

    BobG:
    Yeah. I wish that was the case. Anyway, at least I have undying love for and from my Apple/Mac.

    Olga:
    Aw. Thanks. Its just good lighting!

    Jen R:
    YOU ARE THE BOMBINATRIX.
    I laugh my ass off every time I see this photo, watch the movie under construction, or the behind the scenes golf course. YOU RULE. I will never be able to thank you enough. Cant wait to see you this week to take the rest of the photos and to fix the other ‘Top Secret Favorite’ photo!
    xxxxxxxxxxoooooooo
    πŸ˜‰

    Jay:
    My friend Jennifer R rocks the casba. And I think everyone who really loves their Mac/Apple needs a photo like this!
    xxoo

  15. cmk says:

    I’m staying with PC for the long haul–I guess I just don’t believe in divorce. πŸ™‚ However, I may have to change some of PC’s habits–like getting it away from Microsoft and introducing something new, like Linux. Ah, who am I kidding–I think Microsoft may be a habit we can’t get over. I guess it’s true: You DON’T go into a relationship expecting to change the other party. :/

    Beautiful pic, by the way–soooooo happy for you! πŸ˜‰

  16. Epiphany says:

    Love the concept, Daahling! …and the photo is divine. I cannot wait to see the movie!

    BTW, I see that you emailed me, but I can’t get into my actual inbox. Ah, the joys of msn hotmail combined w/my internet service. I’ll be in touch. xoxo

  17. hollydolly says:

    i bet your apple doesn’t leave its crap all around the house and make you make the dinner for it all the time. it must say very sweet things to you. oh i think *i* have fallen in love with it. does it have an older brother?

  18. Hey Meleah, I can’t wait for the movie urrmm, I mean video πŸ˜€ I was giggling away when I read this post, and on a Monday even … hehehe …

  19. Barbara says:

    You are gorgeous. Can’t wait to see the movie!

    I don’t have an Apple but I do love my Inspirion #1705, and with the way my recent dates are going I may just stick with it (but I think my laptop is a chick not a dude….)

  20. someGirl says:

    oh so pretty!! ….and I think you two make a lovely couple.

  21. Wow nice!
    OMG, you are sooooooooo PRETTY!
    I would have dated you if I’m a guy!!!!
    It’s all bullshit that when people say beauty doesn’t count, it counts, big time, like I take a look at you and I say, “wowwwww”!

  22. ahahahahah! Yes, I saw that when you put it on twitter, but it’s still funny.

    Damn, you look gorgeous too! πŸ™‚

  23. Ribeezie says:

  24. Natural says:

    Love the photo, I think it’s great and best of all FUNNY. don’t forget to call me to market your movie. I have steve on speed dial…all i have to say is: “welcome to hollywood”.

    Ricardo B:
    It was the best DATE I’d had in a very long time.

    Valerie:
    As someone who understands the intensity of video editing you will more than appreciate the final result.

  26. Michael C says:

    “So Happy Togther, An Unhealty Obssession With My Apple Computer”

    The video is still currently under construction. Hopefully, the finalized production should be completed within another week!

  34. Meleah says:

    Ricardo:
    The final cut of my “Movie” will be more like a commercial.
    I am so happy you appreciate this picture!

    πŸ™‚

    KellyPea:

    xxoo

  35. Ms. Q says:

  38. Meleah says:

    Chef Mom:
    I was up until 4am taking and editing these photos with the photographer Jen R. The movie is a work in progress…but, hope to have it completed shortly!

    xxoo

  39. Roshan says:

    ok. Let me recover from your ‘hotness’ first. pant pant, whew, whew!! Gulp

    Ok. This is a beautiful pic and u look fabulous in it.

    I’d like to say that I think of my pc as a woman…and I call her Sabrina!!

  40. Meleah says:

    Roshan:
    You are too sweet to me!
    xxoo
    πŸ™‚

  41. Girl, you are SUCH a riot. I can’t wait for the movie. Love the picture. I think I will do the same with my Mac. It won’t know what hit it (him? uh-oh).

  42. I’m not mad at you. The only way your Mac will hurt your feeling is if the system crashes.

  43. Catscratch says:

    You are absolutely beautiful, girl!

  44. Meleah says:

    Oh My Lisa:
    hehehehe.
    Apple Loves roud the world apprecaite this photo.

    The movie is taking FOREVER to make, but that is because I am insane about editing, timing and effects.

    Urban:
    Dont EVEN say that outloud EVER again. Although I have my system obesessively backed up.

    Diva:
    Aw. Thank you!

  45. That picture is so hot … I wish was I was a computer.

    Of course, I would probably be an old Omega 5200 with a cassete drive (and moss on the bottom)

  46. Meleah says:

    Speedy:
    Why thank you for that lovely compliment!
    xxoo

  47. Gilbert says:

    The photo is great. Apple is so good in graphic. Having affair is 1 kind of experience….. especially with other people partner..:)

  48. Meleah says:

    Glibert:
    All Things Apple Rule.

  49. Rogelio says:

    P-e-r-f-e-c-t photo.

    Is the Mac a ‘she’?. Hey, if the relationship works who gives a damn? πŸ™‚

    I must admit that I am a polygamist in such regards: My main daily needs aDELLe takes care off; and she doesn’t mind my overly long and torrid affair with CoCo, the every now and again escapades with eSTela, the kinky traveling adventures with SusEee PC and the occasional schmoozing with MacSEe and the twins Connie VIC and Connie 64 – talk about a threesome made in heaven!

    Anyway, this blog post shows that *yes* there are blogs… and there *is* Momma Mia, Mea Culpa. Can’t wait to see the movie.
