Love lost

I love my iPod. I miss my iPod. I never realized how annoying the bus can be until forced to ride without the iPod. Why do people insist on speaking so loudly on the bus? And why must it be with a tone of absolute authority? I find it irritating. I’ve been forced to put music on my phone just so I can listen to anything other than my fellow passengers. You’re thinking to yourself, ‘what an elitist snob!’ Possibly. But really, all I want is the 40 minutes to myself where I don’t have to listen to anyone spout off any grand theories on why the bus and park and ride are so crowded; or listen to the phone call to another commuter discussing the state of the commute (‘is there a Mariners game?’ ‘What’s going on?’)

I’m in the process of trying to buy a used 40 gb iPod off of eBay. I keep getting out bid but I’m determined to make the best of it. I will win one of those auctions!!! Let’s hope I do before I lose my mind.
