All is lost

What do I want?

I’m going to go ahead and rephrase this question, so that my answer will be a little more specific:

What do I want right now?

This means that I’m just jotting down what I’m thinking at the moment. Simply said, what I want right now, is to get all my music back. Little over an hour ago, I decided to plug my mp3-player into my laptop, to play some songs I like (which is an everyday activity for every teenager). My mp3-player is of crappy quality and I have already made peace with the fact that it freezes every time I try to start it up. However, it still served as a perfect storage facility for my songs. I would plug it into the laptop and play my music from that location. This was practical, because my laptop has little memory space of its own. When I tried it earlier, all my files were missing. That means that OVER 850 SONGS had mysteriously vanished.

This depresses me in more ways than one. First of all, I can’t believe that my mp3-player has found three ways to screw me over (the screen is broken, it freezes before it starts up and now it’s pulling a ‘Houdini’ with my files). The next thing that troubles me, is the realisation that I have to download, organise and rename all the files I had before (if I can remember them). Also, I have to buy a new mp3-player to serve as little more than a memory card, and I simply do not have the money to do that.

There are obviously other things that I desire. The best examples would be:

1.                  A girlfriend

2.                  High grades

3.                  To get in shape

4.                  A good relationship with my friends

All these are very important to me, but at the moment, they are something that I have either not had, or not lost yet. That makes the whole ‘my music is missing’ thingy a little bit more important. I do not expect a lot of readers. Therefore I do not expect a lot of comments. However, I would like to ask others if they know a good mp3-player (which is affordable). Please do not recommend an I-pod, for I have an unexplainable principle which prevents me from buying one of those.
