I have now cleaned my entire bedroom, six times. The following things are officially missing:

* My hardcover Nocturnals volume one, signed and personalized to me by the author.
* My soundtrack to The Slipper and the Rose* My 'Fairy changeling, this is all a dream' pendant ( Read more... )

Perhaps these particularly weird things that I do when I lose something might help...

1) Stand in the center of the room with your arms outstretched and palms out - fingers spread. Close your eyes and concentrate on the object you want to find. Hold a picture of the object in your mind. Relax. Rotate slowly paying close attention to anything you might feel in your fingertips. When I do this I get a kind of tingling at my fingertips when one of my hands is pointed in the right direction. Kind of like the feeling you get when you go to pick something up then stop right above it.

OR

2) Close your eyes and concentrate on the object. See every detail of it. Then stop looking for it completely. Remove it completely from your mind and just move on to something else. If someone asks about it then "*shrug* It'll turn up.". And it usually does.

I hope these help. :-)

I ask George where it is. (She's one of the cats.) The item then turns up, and I thank George. I do this even when I'm not in the same state as said cat, it works about as well. No idea why. (Asking Dragon doesn't seem to help at all.)

My brother and I both use "here, kitty kitty"; if that doesn't work, saying "give it back" usually does. Dunno which odd little fairies I'm talking to, but as long as it works, who am I to argue? :)

We have a soundtrack to the Slipper and the Rose, but not the one you're looking for. We also have a vocal score, and Tricia has been learning to play some of the songs - those that don't require 3 hands with 6 fingers each. We just watched it again yesterday, it never really gets old, does it?

Usually if I bribe the house faeries with chocolate missing things reappear.

On the down side, this ends up with them running a sort of protection racket against my stuff...

I have, this week, decided that "like calls to like" is true in the matter of lost things. My favorite antique amber pendant has been missing for four years. I was convinced that the cats had made away with it and that I would find it when I emptied the house during the move.

It didn't surface. I wasn't happy.

For Christmas, harperjen gave me a nifty new amber necklace, which I've worn almost continuously. Apparently this caused the old necklace to have a case of the sulks and decide that it was jealous, because it resurfaced this weekend (in a bubble-wrap bag in the bottom of my headset mic bag... apparently I put it there after a gig and then completely forgot it).

So if nothing else is working, try wearing a similar pendant in the hopes that it will cause the original to resurface out of jealousy. :-)

Good luck finding your missing things... I do know how frustrating that can be! *hugs*
