iPods

I want an iPod like no other item. I know that there are cheaper mp3 players out there, and that they'll function for my purposes well enough. But.

So a few weeks ago, maybe 3 or 4, I decided that I NEEDED an iPod. Which I do. But with the start of high school, where iPods are allowed to be visible, i realize just how weird I am for not having one. So, me being me and not really able to afford one,, I did some research on those free iPod sites - you know, the complete 10 referrals and we'll deliver it to your door! types. I decided on freepay, which seemed reliable enough. I signed up, and using a prepaid credit card I had bought for the purpose, completed an offer for a free CD. I basically signed up, ordered the CD, and then canceled my account. Cut to now. I've received no credit for the offer. Doing a few more google searches, I realize that a lot of people run into problems with freepay. Accounts put on hold, no credit received, et cetera. Somehow, for reasons I don't understand, the purchase price of the CD was refunded to the credit card. I /would/ have given friends their own prepaid credit cards , bought them each a CD, and had them cancel an account and hopefully receive the iPod for the price of only a few CDs. Unfortunately, I'm sure that they wouldn't receive credit, either, so I've given up on freepay.

But I still want the iPod. I've found another site in the multitude of sites, called xpango. This site appeals to me more because there are many ways in which you can get credits, including offers, referrals, and buying products. This iPod needs quite a bit more credits than the freepay one, but I trust it more. You can also get other products on this site, so even if I don't get enough credits for this iPod, I may still ave enough for a Nintendo DS or something else I wouldn't mind having in the least.

So I'm going with this, but it'll be hard to complete all those offers and stuff. You can help. Simply go to (link) and create an account. Complete an offer - there's several that involve no cost to you, like eFax or stamps.com where you can sill enjoy a free trial of the service. All I need you to do is make an account and complete an offer.

I want an iPod SO bad. Why? Well there's the cool factor and there's functionality. Everywhere I walk in my school, there's at least one set of white headphones visible. I would estimate 90% of the school had an iPod without exaggerating. I really want it just becuase I feel so left out without one, but i also lie the functionality. I get so bored, so often on the school bus, in the car, when I'm walking somewhere, when I'm procrastinating on my homework, and so much more. I'd love music all those times, and there's a lot of times when I'm bored and I wouldn't mind watching an episode of the office or part of zoolander. I think it'd save me from boredom. Plus, I'd like to have it just to have it. I like having a cell phone in my pocket (no matter ow lame that cell phone may be) and I think I'd like an iPod. I hope to get an iPod touch, becuase the wi-fi thing, checking my email (webmail) at a coffee shop without a laptop. Plus that screen is just SO COOL.

So yes. I want an iPod, and I'd love you FOREVER if you'd just consider doing an offer out of the good of your heart.
