Hurry! There's a hole in my battery!

Or at least it seems that way. My (somewhat) trusty second gen. iPod Nano is finally showing some weakness after not even a year and a half of use. Hm. The battery is starting to drain quickly, no matter how I use it. Blacklight off or on, volume high or low. After a full charge, I can get maybe ten or fifteen songs in before the gauge goes down about 25-30%. It'll stay that way for a while, and then I'm left with barely half. The remaining amount doesn't last too long most of the time. When I first got it, the battery life was good but unspectacular. I thought it definitely could have lasted longer. I know that it'll probably die soon, and I'm half okay with it and half wondering if I'm going to get another player. I don't know if I can deal with another iPod; sure, they're good, but I've always had a problem with Apple for some reason. Besides that, they're expensive. If cost wasn't an issue, I'd probably get a Touch. I don't have a large library (it wasn't until today that I was able to fill half of my Nano) and I really like the way it looks. Who knows. A little birdy told me that my mom changed her mind about paying her pastdue Verizon bill with the five grand we're getting. That birdy also said I'd be getting my Dare, which basically caused me to almost die with excitement. I'll probably end up using it for music too.
So anyway, what I wanted to point out was that this whole battery thing is starting to get under my skin. I hate charging it and having the life sucked out of it almost immediately.
Screw you, Steve Jobs. Fix your hardware.

In other news, my baby tooth is continuing to be a stubborn little prick.
And today I'll be leaving to go to my dad's until Sunday or Monday. I probably won't update, but I might if I decide to get on my aunt's slowpoke computer. I swear, she needs to upgrade her shitty 256mb RAM.
