ListManiac #2 : List your favourite items that you have lost
-
... or that have become damaged beyond repair or salvaging.
-
painful memories rite...
-
My dogs
-
1. My baby blanket.
I know its childish, stupid etc but I had it till I was 18 and was terribly attached to it. I suspect my ex pet cat dragged it out somewhere. (and no it wasnt an ex pet because of this)
2. A book about what to do in emegencies. I threw a tantrum and screamed bloody murder when I discovered my then baby brothers had destroyed it with crayons and other colour pens. I love my books.
3. My Macbeth textbook for Literature in Secondary school. I cant find it after I shifted house ! *Grrrrr*
4. My poems, those I wrote and upload to a certain red froggie website, naively thinking websites are forever. It was taken down a few months later after the website closed down and I dont have a spare copy of all those poems
5. My small teddy bear my first boyfriend gave to me. It has great sentimental value. Apparently another one of my ex pet cats had great fun with it
6. My mp3 player ! It was stolen recently. Sigh I won't go into that one. I just bought it 3 mths ago ! #@#$^&&^*!$@!!%
Well, things lost, things gone. I have heard of a fantasy land where lost items ended up, maybe one day when I died I could browse through that place

Wow, ferret... a lot of precious things lost!
Losing your poems must have been especially painful! -
How many of them? And how did you lose them? Did they run away?Originally posted by elindra:My dogs -
I think most people lost some part of themselves as they grow older.
Innocence turns into cynicalness and naiveness becomes pretentiousness...
So I guess my innocence (some) would be my favourite item that I have lost... -
One diedOriginally posted by Rhonda:How many of them? And how did you lose them? Did they run away?
One got lost when he snuck out of the house
As for the last one, Chris
I had to give him away because we really can't have him in doors......then again I think it causes less confusion now with me giving him away -

Oh there was once when I was still in love with my crush...he gave me this keychain when he went on travels...nothing special about the keychain, it is something you would normally get for a friend as souvenir. But I really treasured it because it was from him...and carried it with me wherever I went. So one day I was running to catch a bus and I must have dropped it on the way. When I found out I was so upset that all my friends went out with me in the dark(already night time when I found out) to search for the keychain(to avoid suspiscion, I lied to them that a very important key was attached to the keychain...so makes it seems like I am looking for the key instead of the keychain lol). But in the end, never found it but the good thing was my crush spent the whole night consoling me...

-
Some miniature car models - the wheels on the Maisto ones are the first to go. I also can't find the notes on which I scribbled my ex's number.
-
I lost three framed cross-stitch pieces that I had painstakingly done when I moved house a few years back. I cried for an entire week after realising that someone had stolen them during my move.
I've also lost friends through normal attrition - time, end of course/school, changed circumstances, moved on to another stage of life, changed jobs, family commitment, etc... and some losses are felt more acutely than others. OK, friends aren't exactly 'items' but the loss is often more drastic than material losses.
And oh... I've lost five cats including Cody, my precious companion who went missing last year.
And there was a period of my life when it seemed as if I had lost 'everything'... *shudders... I think a few of you here would know what I'm referring to. The material things I lost during that period included all my kitchen appliances and wares, which had to be hurriedly given away to my neighbours then, and which up till today, I've never got round to replacing. Some losses are more traumatic than others... -

Its ok. I dont write anymoreOriginally posted by DeadPoet:Hi Ferret, always keep a hard copy of your poems.
A poet got his writing block,
A single poem he did not.
Frustrations twisted his restless mind,
Inspirations he did not find.
In vague awareness he stumbles round,
of the meaningless passing days he lost count.
With wide open eyes he failed to see,
What every poets see in you and me.
Till one day he finally found,
meanings in every tiny significant sound.
And to all his senses he woke up to,
a poem he can finally do. -
a ring.

my smelly pillow ........
when im small i need that smelly pillow to fall asleep .......... but one fine day ... my ma ..... secretly throw it away without telling me ...

1) Precious emails & games when my HD crashed
2) Some of my fave music books for piano *sigh*
3) A rare Australian $10 note with aboriginal designs on it (stolen when the house got broken into)
4) My memory.. (!!!) -
