Saudade

[etai]

I miss the days of people being active and posting on LiveJournal. Oh the old days...

Second, more people really should use this word: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudade

What an interesting term.

I have a saudade of the time spent with my last computer.. with every computer. With some people, with some times, .. yeah.

I love that word (and lots of words that don't exist in English)! I have it for too many things... (though at the same time would not want to go back in time unless I could delete surrounding things)
Besides the obvious application to people and "heavy" things/times throughout life, I definitely have it for the days of online games when you had to actually have some technical competency to even be online playing. It weeded out a lot of... erm... people I don't want to play online with :p
