Loser
Posted By Russ Emerson on December 2, 2004 at 12:43 am
I lost something valuable. Not monetarily valuable, but it had loads and loads of sentimental value. I’ve retraced my steps over and over trying to figure out how and where I lost it, all to no avail. I have no clue to what happened to it.
It was something unique and irreplaceable. At least, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to find another one even slightly like it.
Maybe it’ll turn up later. Such things have an almost magical way of reappearing when you least expect them. I really would like to find it — I may end up burning down my house and sifting through the ashes to find it.
There’s no other word for it: sometimes I’m such a loser.
[Update, 12/5: Found it.]
Hope you find it.
I lost a ring I was particularly fond of last winter and, having experienced that same odd way things have of turning up, kept hoping I would find it. So far, no luck.
If the fates smile on you, be sure to let us know.
Hey! Good for you. Are you willing to divulge what the item is?
