My ipod has become sentient

(I wish)

It refuses to obey.

I got tired of taking it to the techs at the Apple store. All it needed was the wires jiggled, because the hard drive gets loose. Actually the techs aren't supposed to do that but they did, at least until lately. The last time they said I could recycle it for 15% off a new one, and that's cool because now I can get 140 more gigabytes and VIDEO for what the old one cost 5 years ago.

I swore the last time would really be the last, but not before I tried to fix it myself. I used a butter knife and took it apart and put it back together again, and for now, it works. I was scared of the almighty silver obelisk but not anymore. It really is just a hard drive in a can!
Anyway, the warrantee expired years ago, and if I mess up, I can still recycle it for 15% off.

Today it rained A LOT and I stayed home and didn't answer my phone.
