So lately everyone has been posting about things that made them happy that day. In a RADICAL twist on the meme, today I'm posting something that DOESN'T make me happy (I thiiiiink I normally post the opposite, but who knows):

I cannot find the yellow legal pad that has all the notes for the story I am working on. Things like, umm, character names, a MAP, research, plot notes, thematic notes, etc, and did I mention A CAREFULLY-DRAWN-OUT MAP OF THE FICTIONAL LAND? AND THE CHARACTER NAMES? ARRRRGH.

And I've looked through all the yellow papers in my file folders but apparently I didn't rip them out and file them. Which means they must be at home instead of at my apartment, which is worrying because my parents moved all my stuff around in September and I've had trouble finding anything that wasn't on a bookshelf (i.e., most everything). So it's potentially lost and I don't feel comfortable just forging ahead without my research and notes.

I would be biting my nails if I did that, but I don't, so.

I hate it when those things get up and wander off.

I know, it's so annoying. Fortunately I did manage to find it at home, after rummaging through about a dozen other legal pads. I guess this confusion is the price I must pay for keeping all important notes on yellow legal pads, lol.

Eurgh, that sucks! What a valuable thing to lose.

This isn't really comparable, but I just lost my gloves and I'm SO UPSET. They were wool and fit me perfectly and had neat little fabric-covered buttons along the sides, all vintagified, and my mom sent them to my only a couple weeks ago as an early Hannukah present, and I've already lost them! I'm going to be scouring the lost and founds all over campus until I have to head back to Dallas and tell her that I can't find them :(

Good luck finding our pad, though! I'm sure it's somewhere in your house and you'll be thrilled to happen on it someday.

Oh, no, losing gloves totally IS comparable. I lost mine earlier this year but luckily realized they had gone to the dry-cleaners with my coat and never come back, so managed to track them down there. But while I didn't have them - oh my hands were so cold! And it's HARD to find gloves that fit. Most of the ones in stores are WAY too big for my hands and render my fingers utterly useless. Hopefully you'll find your gloves!

(And I did find my legal pad at home! It took like an hour of searching but finally!)

Oh, man, that DOES suck. I hate losing stuff like that! I know exactly how you feel.

It does suck! Fortunately I managed to find it and now have my gimpy maps and character lists and stuff. And I'm carefully copying it over to the composition book that I'm writing in, lololol.
