Book lost! *pine*

Ever lose a book while you’re in the middle of reading it? For the first time?

Nothing makes me pine so much as losing something before I’m finished with it. I mean, that makes sense, right? Even so, I can put away a book or game without completing it, if it isn’t holding my attention, without batting an eye. But if I lose said book, it drives me nuts.

The same thing goes with my cellphone. It isn’t that I can’t be without my phone – but it has to be my plan. Sometimes I’ll leave it in the car when I go dancing (though it’s so small, there’s little need, these days). But if I forget it at home for an entire day, I’m all atwitter.

Edit: Yarrrr! Trase was working on my computer in good ol’ corptown last friday, and apparently left treasure in my metal jones candy container (otherwise empty). a metal “O” from my magnet set, and a tiny post-it with a pirate saying “yarr!” while traversing the “poop deck”, “dead man’s lobby”, “galley of dooooom”, “ye olde magazine rack”, and “the cubicles of Insanity”.

Perhaps, we should call my Jones candy container a locker, yes?

    I can’t picture you twittering.
    Of course, I’m not sure how one twitters at all….

  3. First of all, good use of the word “atwitter.”

    Secondly, which book?

    Thirdly, SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKES! ON A MOTHER FUCKING PLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANE!

    • Thank you, sir. It’s called “Lords of Light”. I think it was Zelazny, though I can’t remember for certain. You should take a picture of an old-school chutes and ladders game. and post “SNAKES IN A GAAAME!”

    • I should mention that, despite knowing it was empty, still I picked it up and shook it, in case there happened to be one candy left that I forgot… I heard the metal O, and investigated.

      • *tents fingers* eeeexxxxcelllllenT. Because that’s *precisely* the response I anticipated. :D

        Oh, and yes, I have lost a book. It was a mystery-thriller and I forgot it in a hospital bathroom while there for a CATscan and they made me go and remove all my piercings beforehand. I set the book on top of the towel dispenser and forgot it. :( I was in the middle of the climax in the last chapter, too! I had to go buy a new copy that night to finish it. Bugger.

  7. Speaknig of which…

    Do you have your cell on you today? I tried to send something to you and Lucy both an hour or so ago, but my phone doesn’t show it as received. Do you guys have plans for Thursday night?

    • Re: Speaknig of which…

      I *just* got the text now.. my phone doesn’t work in my lab, so I have to run to an exterior door to get texts or calls.

      Would we be back by 10?

      • Re: Speaknig of which…

        Before 10? Probably not so much.

        I am going to an interpreted play at 9 in Royal Oak called “Dinner with Friends”. Tickets are ~$15. Not sure how long it is. Sounded pretty interesting, wanted to know if you guys could make it too, maybe grab a bite to eat beforehand – as long as I’m not called in to work at the last minute.

          Maybe we could just have dinner and then send you on your way? I’m feeling extra-poor.

          • Re: Speaknig of which…

            Fair enough – sounds like Lucy had a time conflict anyway for the show. If you guys want to come over to my place – I have a Digorno (sp?) 4 Cheese pizza you can doctor up and we can devour. I have to go to the show to get my hours in, but we can hang at my place cheaply beforehand.

            Plus, it’s now been recently cleaned!

            Or we can all go out for food, if you guys prefer.

      I didn’t actually read the texts yet, by the way, but my phone got them! It beeped…and died!

      Well shit on me, I forgot to turn it on. I don’t know if she has plans. I’ll have to see what I’m working on, myself. What do you have in mind?

  9. Damn icon. I spent several minutes bewildered before I realized this wasn’t Sam’s or Kreie’s journal.
