iPods

Ok, so I am behind the times. I have only just discovered the iPod, well iPhone actually. I have never been a person who keeps up to date with the latest gadgets, and am nearly always the last to join in with the movement.

I always thought iPods were annoying things that people played too loud on the train so that everyone could hear how dire their taste in music was! At work yesterday someone looked at me with utter disgust that I had only just entered the iPod era, anyone would have thought I had just told her that I had murdered 12 school children.

Anyway, I am now wondering how I lived without one. It makes the long hot journey home on the train fly by, it drowns out the screaming child on long train journeys and the inane chatter of the teenage girls reading their glossy magazines and wondering how many more diets they need to go on until they become size zero.

Now on my phone I have the soundtrack to my life. I have gone through all of my CD's and found songs I had forgotton about, songs that take me back to my young carefree days when everything was an adventure. Songs that have helped me through sad times, songs that remind me of happy times. And then I realise I must keep the volume down in case people realise how dire my taste in music is!
