Well I am doing anything to distract myself from the new 20" iMac G5 and my new iPod. I am talking to DMB on iChat( adium for him haha) about the iMac G5 and iPod. I am so obsessive about it, I keep on making up things that are slim chances happening. Let say my iMac has been shipped or even built by now, but there is no one at apple to update my status. For the iPod, that it snuck on the truck to my local UPS sorting facility and the people forgot to scan its departure since it is so late at night here. How obsessive can you people be?

I'm typically not a very obsessive person at all. I have a couple of nitpicky type things here and there, and some quirk/preferences that I get a little anal about. But on the whole, I don't really get obsessed with anything.

I have had periods in my life when I have been 'obsessed' with certain things. Not the norm though, and even then, I'm sure my level of obsession with such things pales in comparison to more typically obsessive people.

That said. I am on the verge of getting a new iMac myself and maybe an airport express. I'm sure once I order that I'll get pretty obsessed with it.

I tend to be very obsessive. It occurs with everything.

Careful there quag, I think you're traversing that slippery slope between obsessive and neurotic.

I don't begrudge you your purchase, but why does *one* person need *three* iPods?

Well the monochrome iPod might be going to my bro since his Rio is a POS.

I get obsessive when it comes to girls breaking up with me, I don't like running away from my problems so when people say "lets take some space" I say lets not and talk about it... running away from problems irritates me so I get obsessed in fixing the problem.

But chances are that stems from my insecurities in abandonment and being raised by a single mother.... or maybe the inadequate size of my horse meat.

What I can not understand is if the mono had the shuffle out of wedlock? And are mixed marriages acceptable?

Funny that you mention that Quag having 3 iPods is overkill.

I was talking to Quagmire yesterday on iChat. Here's an excerpt of the transcript:



All he even needs is the shuffle.

Edit: he insisted that I black out his screen name, so you all don't harass him for being an iPod whore.

You ask me for a hamburger.

Cough cough cough. I don't watch porn. I loaded Tiger on my new iPod and Panther is on my old one! So ha! Tiger and Panther won't fit on a Shuffle! Haha! Anyway, expect my iPod to be filled with tons of photo's of Camaro's, my new truck, computers, iPods, cars, and more computers.

That's pretty sickeningly obsessive, I'd say.

The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting.

Obsessive is a loaded term - it's good to be focussed on what's important to you. When I come across a new topic I like to read every single authority on it I can - that way you cover all bases

I fixed that for you.

Intill? They'll be here in 2006, according to Steve.

What happened to your spell checker?

Hey Quag...

Get on iChat so I can make fun of your obsessiveness.
