My virginity. No, my memories. Wait, I have thems (I think). Oh, that's it: my memories of my virginity. And not memories of, so much as a video record of the loss there of. That'd be sweet!
But alas, I didn't ever tape it. So I guess I'd like to retrieve the ablitiy to do that over, make a bigger production out of it: better lighting, a funky score, maybe some props, certainly more female co-stars.
You had to look in some book for this deep question??? How about the next thread you ask us the question you got from your trip to Safeway today: paper or plastic?, by Skippy the bagboy.

Hey tiger, I didn't look for the book to find a question to post. I happended to be looking at books, saw it and said what the hey, this looks like a good question to start my first thread with.
Unless you want a judo chop to the nads, I think you better start showing me some more love. :)

Oh, I'll show you plenty of love, Baby. Looks like I have my first volunteer for my "loss of virginity" recreation. Fantastic!
Do you have any sisters? Is your Mom hot? The video camera is loaded and ready to go!
:laugh:
Speaking of which, Holds...
Would you re-cast the female lead?
And can I direct it?
We could call it Virginity Lost.
I see a tag line already:
"Virginity Lost, Paradise Found."
I'll get Michael Eisner on the phone.
of all the things i've lost, i miss my mind the most, unknown

I've written some post on here that when I pressed "Done" myseriously just disappeared. Some of them I spent like an hour writing. That really makes me :furious: . Would like to get them back, thank you very much.
And, my girl. Of course...

That sounds suspiciously like my response. Don't let age creep on you... ;)
Oooh, I had a pair, too. Red sunglasses. Very hippy-esque. Dunno where they are now. I had a purple pair, as well.

I'd love to have the old modular house I lived in when I was 5 years old till' the time I was 7. Those were the best days of my life. All my family was around me 24/7, and we always had something going on. People were always over and we had so much fun. There was a Stewart's root beer across the way and on Friday my dad always bought dinner for all of us when he came home.
My cousin and I stayed together in one room, and we always had horror magazines and Aurora monster kits to put together, and all our friends and family would get together Fridays and Saturdays to watch Creature Feature and all the other horror shows, and in general life was great and seemed so full of promise and fun.
Sadly, the house I speak of was recently bulldozed and a strip mall was put up, and another piece of my life has had to make way for 'progress.' :(

Yikes, that sounds like a soap opera in the making. Consider pitching this to Hollywood.
I'd like to get back my ability to make *anything* happen in my life. It never used to dawn on me that a goal was unattainable, so I'd pursue it, and usually found a way to get it. (Okay, this was years ago.)
Although I'd like a magic way to get this ability back instantly, I'm finding I am getting it back through persistence and patience. So, in the end, it's all good.

I can empathise with her, I used to think that my sister was quite smart, but she doesn't seem to be able to work this one out,give my regards to your friend.:yup:

A pocket knife my Grandfather gave me, I lost it In the Iraqi Desert.
An old football shirt that got thrown away because it had holes in it...sniff ..it was my lucky shirt. The steelers have not won a ring since. Never let your girlfriend do your laundry unless you tell her not to throw anything away, I think I lost a couple pairs of "lucky" socks too.:(

Do I want to know what "lucky" means?
I would like to get my Diamond and Saphire earings back, I accidently threw them in the bin, they are at the tip now, :bawling: I had them made with a matching ring, with some money my mother left me when she died. :(

I believe it would have to be whatever small amount of charm I originally sported back in the day... if there was any. I should have framed it.

Yeah, I cut it...i always said it was just gonna be for school.....but in that 3 years, i got too attatched....and then £15 later, it was cut, and a part of me was gone... :( , but one day i shall have it back, i've promised myself that much.

Aww... I'm glad that is all it was... :) I cut mine one time and felt like I was naked until it grew back... :p
I'm sure that, if I thought long enough, I'd come up with something a bit more Rosebud-ish, but at the moment I'd really like to find my electric shaver.

My left shoe that I am gonna wear to Christmas Eve Mass this evening with my Dress.
I wouldn't mind regaining my ignorance about movies where everytime I went to the movies I had a pretty good time. Now I'm all like 'the casting was awful', 'the direction could have been so much better', 'the score was drastically inappropriate' or 'why does the dialogue have to be so cheesy?'.
I think it's the influence of this site that's doing it to me :mad:.......then again I don't know what I'll do if I don't get my mofo fix *jitters uncontrollably and twists neck in an erratic fashion.......too much....tv....not enough mofo.....(4 posts later). Ahh that's better now I can get on with my day, cheerio!

When I was a kid my mum told me that the blue flames in a fire were fairies dancing. I would infront of the fire for minutes (seemed like hours to a kid) and watch them in awe.
I wish I still believed things like that. Trust what people tell me.

The chance to tell this one girl how I feel about her. She's a friend of the family and I've had a crush on her since the 3rd grade. Haven't seen her in a year and I don't know when I will.

My Blues Brothers sunglasses. (broken by some inconsiderate bastards at some school social last year - they were one-of-a-kind, haven't been able to locate a similar pair since, I hate them for loving my glasses.)
My Robin Williams Live On Broadway DVD. (confiscated by parents who thought it inappropriate - never saw it again)

it is not exactly an argument anybody can win. People who believe in "the one" (not Neo, the other one) always have hindsight. You can be with somebody and if you break up then "clearly they were not the one".
I just think, especially now with the Internet, we can interact and eventually meet with so many more people that in my opinion there are a lot more than one "the one" available to us.
