Prepare to have me go very, very awol for a while because Friday [4-ish days ago] my iPod, Joel, disappeared and I've no idea where he's gone.

Now, some may think this not a big deal, but music helps me write. Music helps me concentrate. Music helps me calm down. And my 6 years worth of music, pictures, and memories has just disappeared on me. 

It feels like I've lost my best freaking friend. Joel's never, ever been M.I.A this long before and I'm starting to think he's never coming back to me

So just.... I'm asking you to give me time to grieve, I guess

Be patient. I need to situate Magnus out to sort of have the right music on him. He'll never be Joel, but I guess I'll have to live with him

Then I need to get back into the groove of writing

And I still will always be grieving because my sanity has left along with my bloody iPod

If you understand, thank you

If not, I apologize
