Should be filed under "Inner Monologe"

Things I have lost:
  • My keys (over and over again)
  • Other people's keys
  • My wallet
  • My purse
  • Scrabble
  • My mind (that was fun)
  • My children (recovered shortly thereafter under clothing rack at Old Navy)
  • My wedding ring (intentionally)
  • Risk
  • My shit
  • Every watch I've ever owned
  • Every race I've ever run
  • A job
  • Battleship
  • Pole Position
  • My cell phone

And there is one more thing I've lost, and I lost it 14 short years ago today, and there is no way to further this conversation without crossing my imaginary line I have drawn.

But, well, you know. You really know.

Ah, yes. I get it.

Nothing related to pole positioning?

Pole Position, the game, rocks!!!

I was just about to say something about it being time for you to lose your virginity. But that seemed a little crass. So then I didn't.

pole position? does that have anything to do with stripping? just curious.
oh and...congrats on the anniversary of losing something that we all know what you're talking about!!! because, i totally know what you're talking about! but...how do you remember the exact day? i remember it was sometime during the summer...around, um...let's see, i'm 39, i was 18...21 years ago!!

Wow, you're good. You remember the exact day? I can narrow it down to about a one-week period. I know it was around my birthday. Which one, you ask? Well, let's just say I didn't hold out quite as well as you... Although, in terms of the quality of that encounter, perhaps I should have...

Ok, TMI.

Holy crap, you remember the DAY?
Do I remember the day? Now I have to think...Well...I think I have it to the Month(ish).

:S

P.S.
I love that you have lost OTHER people's keys!

If you ever find your shit, please let me know. They like to herd, so mine probably won't be far off.

January 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterBusyDad

Hehe...I lost it somewhere around 16 but due to all the happy cigarettes I have not inhaled over the years, I can't even seem to remember the month or season.

January 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterHuckdoll

it's my 11th virgiversary in 12 days. i didn't hold out as long as some people's comments indicated.

January 17, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterzoeyjane

You did manage to hold out quite well. Me? Not so much.

I will blog about it one day. Maybe. Anonymously.

January 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterVeronica

Question is - does *he* remember. Ah well, he does now. :P
All the sentimentality of late in this vicinity is a little concerning - or shall we blame that on the wonder drug withdrawals too?

January 17, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterPhotoMatrix

hell, i can't even remember her name.

January 17, 2008 | Unregistered Commenterhubs

I'm with the rest of the herd... you remember the day??? *Shamefully hides face* Hell, I barely remember his name... But I did purposefully lose his number.

Does that count?

January 18, 2008 | Unregistered CommenterJudith Shakespeare

I think I was 19....maybe 18...I can tell you the room and the building I was in but the time of year? Uh...school time.....
