have you ever lost something small.. and you didn't realize the sentimental value of it until it was gone?

i lost my thumbring yesterday. it was just a simple silver wire, with spirals on the top... but it was given to me by my mom on my 18th birthday. i never used to think about it before. a friend would ask 'where'd you get that ring?' and i'd say 'my mom gave it to me for my birthday' and that was that. but now today when i was thinking about it, the whole memory of that day came flooding back. i wish i could find it again

have you ever lost something that meant a lot to you?

My Sixth Form yearbook.

It's around here SOMEWHERE

Deffeh · 4 Jul 2003, 12:11

many things. For useful value, my swiss army knife.

Sentimental value, i lost my shoestring

My hair is long now, and i have to wear a shoestring as an invisible bandana kind of way. I used one shoestring, in one simple bow knot that for some reason never came undone. i had it for months, and it served me well. Then i lost it :/ Easily replaceable ofc, but i liked it.

At least it had a good farewell - i was drunk, running around a golf course half naked, and sausage rolling down the 8th in the dark.

My Sixth Form yearbook was rubbish, so I lost it on purpose.

We made ours.

It may have been cheap

It may have been tacky

But it was OURS.

Technically we made ours too, but the senior management banned all the relatively good bits, like the "Most Likely To..." section.

Each house organised how they would be written for the house.

Caffenite's, Pimlico and Bungites all did theirs centrally, with one person writing all of them.

In Poole, we each did someone else's one.

So we ended up, mostly, with things that were almost entirely lies, like John O'Brien (a short, not sporting lad) was described as tall, blonde and athletic*, and Paul Hopper's 'Three houses, three cars, three million pounds, three testicles' from Geoff.

*I wrote this one, and while it was entirely lies, it was lies based in something that had happened; eg. the tall blonde and athletic thing came from him playing Ralph in Lord of the Flies in upper fifth.

Your yearbook sounds interesting.

But your house names are a little strange...

(Isn't Pimlico a place in London?)

Bungites is what everyone calls school, after an old housemaster who was nicknamed bung.

Caffenite's and Poole were named after Caffenite and Poole.

Pimlico is in Pimlico street, and is the girls' house.

ps

Poole house has the most land per head of membership of any school house in the country.

The houses own land? All my house did was lose at Athletics.

P.S. Only one girl? She must have fun...

my sixth year yearbook was written by the incrowd. Its a tangible incrowd joke.

An example of how terrible it is ?

Captions on some of the photos include "that better not be alcohol!"

oh god no. It serves one purpose though, it makes me glad i left school

Snurx · 4 Jul 2003, 12:54

I've lost over 250 pictures, of everything from friends, nice places or graffiti. Maybe 1/10 of the graffiti is still there, the rest is gone in the void.
I've also lost my scetch book. It was a sad day, i lost all my doodling

School house is built into the school, Pimlico is a few terraced houses on (oddly enough) Grove Street (it was originally just the house on the corner of Pimlico Street and Grove street) (oh, and grove street is called grove street because the Master's building on the corner is called 'The Grove'), but Poole and Caffenites are free standing houses with land around them.

I deliberately kept all my rubbish from the first term at christs.

I lost the gorgeous scarf I bought in China because I had to go to some stupid bar for a party that my friend invited me to. Some jackass drunk person stole it.

I loved that cheap scarf. It was so pretty :/

Aryn · 4 Jul 2003, 20:45

and it was from china

not like you can just go get another one.

i'm still sad about my ring. i keep looking around the floor... but my sister vaccumed yesterday

Sarina_Joy · 4 Jul 2003, 20:55

I lost the watch my Dad gave me for my 21st birthday. It was probably the ugliest looking watch I have ever seen, however my Dad had made a huge fuss about the fact that he'd picked it out so I wore it anyway. I don't think it would have bothered me so much if it hadn't been for the fact that I lost it about 6 weeks after my Dad died :\

Tomkat · 5 Jul 2003, 05:00

My amazing wit, charm, good looks, and hordes of girls loving me.

Fo'real!

JonnyBGood · 5 Jul 2003, 21:50

My debs tickets. If they don't turn up I'm actually going to kick someone's ass. Cost me 170 euro for ****s sake.
