stuff I've lost
There are two things I have recently lost that I would really like to find.
1. white track jacket
description: White Puma track jacket, size XL, adorned with Italian military pins on the left lapel
last seen: Sydney? laundry room? either way in June
possible locations: home (checked all closets) dorm (highly doubtable), Sydney, Cairns, London (extremely doubtable), Oman (extremely doubtable)
notes: Not sure where this could be. I think I saw it go through the wash after returning from Australia but I know for a fact that I haven't worn it since I was in Sydney. When specifically though I"m not really sure. Could have been that night of bar hopping with Joanna, Joao and the girls...actually I might have been wearing my suit jacket that night. I know I was the other bar night there. I know I wore my linen blazer on the flight home. Naveej may have accidentally packed it (adding London and Oman to possible locations). Again, this is highly doubtable. I think it's around the house but I may check with the hotel in Sydney anyway. Mom said she probably packed it in the care package that contained my sweaters and playstation but I'm darn sure it wasn't there, but that doesn't mean that it's not in the box on top of my closet
2. my grandfather's ring
description: 24k (or faker) gold ring from early 20th Century, has tiger eye cameo of Greek soldier on it
last seen: November 2007
possible locations: dorm (closet, under A/C), Clare's room, lost and found
notes: Wore it the last night Clare and i went out on a real date. I stayed in her room that night and emptied my pockets. The next morning I put on the same pair of chinos, pocketed everything I de-pocketed the night before, and neglected to empty them when I hung up my pants in the room later. The only place I stopped in between was the cafeteria where it could have fallen out of my pocket. IT was never listed in the lost and found unless somebody thought the cameo was of a dragon and listed it as "dragon ring". This has some sentimental value to me as I never knew my grandfather (he died 15 years before I was born)
3. my sanity
description: who knows
last seen: who knows, probably fall 2007,
possible locations: deep within my mind
notes: I've become increasingly weirded out by what's been going on in my life the past year and a half, particularly in 2007 since I've been doing a bunch of things I never really thought I would or made big milestones. I'm in college now, have a girlfriend, actually get to party, have gotten 3 jobs (one hourly!), have traveled to China and Australia, and become a nationally published (well, audienced) journalist (that finally happened last night, check me out http://www.scoop08.com ). With the recent good grades, I even feel like I'm not so much a person as an image of how I always wanted myself to turn out. Also, I'm finding it harder to get the right balance of work and play, I get everything done and have fun in life but I just know I could be doing it so much better.
