Thank Goodness For iPods...

I'm on the computer, happily twiddling around while accomplishing absolutely nothing. Ruining my peaceful atmosphere comes the sound of escalating vocal cords...they sail through the air like they own it and land amongst my ears in annoying glee. Two steps behind me, door frame and then another mere five steps will lead you directly to where those soaring vocal cords are located. I am far to close to those classical notes. I glance over at my lizard and I can tell by the look on his face that he knows exactly what I am thinking. While he ducks beneath his little hidey hole to make sure he is safe from a Disney song invasion, I grab my book, exit the computer room and head towards my room. Once I am inside, with my door perfectly closed, I find my lovely iPod and with a couple deft scrolls of my thumb, I have one of my favorite punk/screamo albums on the screen. Sliding the ear buds in place I settle into a comfortable position on my bed and open my book. I have successfully averted a classical music crisis.

Heeehee. You should hop on the opera bandwagon with me. Good times. I can just see you bobbing your head to 'Les Mis', 'The Pirates of Penznce', or 'Carmen'. I really need to get you onto the classical music bandwagon!

That is, 'The Pirates of Penzance'.
Show this comment to your mom sometime--I want to know if she laughs...
