Strangling iPod
I used to fall asleep listening to my iPod nano. It looked similar to the one in the above photo, but it was small, and I can still remember the feel of the buttons and the clicking of the scroll wheel as you looked for your favorite songs. The iPod I had was silver and was 2 GB large, I thought I was living my best life with 1,000 songs saved on there. I would walk down the school hallways with one ear bud always in. I would be on lunch hour, and I always had some sort of music playing. I would blast it on the bus and in the empty halls where I roamed on my free class period. Tokyo Police Club was my band along with Two Door Cinema Club and a few other indie rock bands, to which I still listen to, to this day. I would play solitaire in Math class instead of homework, I would procrastinate with the rest of the class. Once it was time for bed, I would find my playlist that I had titled as Sleep with my earphones in and the quiet whisper of Birdie playing, I would drift off in sleep as I still shared a room with my sister, who would snore like a lawn mower, I had to fall asleep to something else.
