An unexpected turn of events

I'm in turmoil. I'm a mess. My world has been turned upside down by something that I couldn't have predicted and I don't know what to do. I should just come out and say it, to confess: I've fallen in love.

Well, I say "love" but it's more like obsession. I try not to think about it, I try to stay away from the places that I know I'll come into contact... but it's so difficult. Something - some compulsion - drives me on, even though I know what I'm doing is wrong. The object of my obsession is slim, chic, sophisticated... everything I could want, really. The object of my obsession is a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1.

I know what you're thinking: I'm a terrible person. I've been faithful to Apple for years now: the iPhone, the iPad, the MacBook Pro... they're all lovely and I still love them. But recently, I don't know; I just haven't been feeling it as much. It's like the spark has gone out. And then there was that whole maps thing; it just feels like maybe we've reached the end of the road. Maybe it's time to move on.

I haven't consummated the affair yet but it's getting more and more difficult to resist. Everyone's doing it - everyone here seems to have a Samsung of some sort or another and I've always been a sucker for a stylus and some decent handwriting recognition software. And there's just something so indescribably gorgeous about it, especially in white. I'm looking at one right now. I don't think I can hold on much longer...
