In Loving Memory of My iPod

My iPod's tragic demise was met on Monday, September 1, 2008 when it fell into the washing machine filled with water. It had already been dropped on the floor a few months earlier before, from which it received a liquid crystal scratch that gradually grew and grew, but it still carried on playing music for me and providing games of solataire on nights where I couldn't go to sleep for hours. Then, it happened.

My dad and I were listening to my iPod in the garage. It was sitting safely in it's speaker when I started a load of laundry. As I put a scoop of soap in the washer, something-whether my elbow or magical iPod-hating faeries-sent the speaker tumbling of the dryer into the pit of churning water. I screamed and scrabbled to reach for it but it had gone underneath that part which has no name in the middle (ya know?)  My dad came and told me to unplug it cuz ya know, water, electricity, yeah...

Tenderly, I dried the iPod of for the next day and a half. There was still hope because a) the speaker still worked fine (the radio on it at least) and b) when I put the iPod on the speaker, it turned on (even though the screen was all light blue and bubbly and warpy). But still!!!

Then, on the sad sad morning of Wednesday, September 3, my iPod was officially claimed dead.

I will always remember him. Even though I never named him, it seemed like a him. I will miss listening to him rock me to sleep with Daughtry, and watching OK Go on treadmills. I am now saving for a new iPod, but mine will always be in my heart... <3333333
