I don't leave the house without my mp3 player. It is very useful, especially in school, to cut out a lot of noise. Plus, if I don't feel like talking to people I will just put my headphones in without playing any music and everyone assumes I won't be able to hear them and so I get left alone.

I tried bringing my iPod to the store, but I zone out even more than I usually do, and my mom worries because she can't communicate with me. So... I only use mine at home.

I love my iPod. His name is Dr. Manhattan. He's a blue generation 2 nano with 4GBs of space. He's my best friend on public transport. I lose my balance sometimes when walking and listening to loud music.

I would sometimes go around with the walkman turned off, but wearing the headphones.

Don't tell anyone, but I do this sometimes. I used to carry a book around, but then I'd get people coming up and asking "what are you reading?" or even more annoyingly "What's it about?" when quite clearly I'm on page 2 and so have no clearer idea than they do.
Is this an AS thing then?
