I'd love to hear more about A Voz das Coisas, sounds like a really interesting project.<BR/><BR/>~Annieelf - wonder if I'll ever feel that way about my 1999 Saturn sedan with no power steering and no power windows? Hmmm...think not. Sometimes I wish I'd been the owner of a sweet car back in the days I owned a vehicle.<BR/><BR/>~JVS - how lucky for you that the tide swept your sandals back to shore. I had to go barefoot for a week one time when I lost a pair of flip-flops to the Atlantic, again off the coast of Brazil. Seems flip-flops and water aren't such a great combination for me.<BR/><BR/>~Safiya - what an interesting question. I feel I have lost a bit of my sense of excitement and wonder over the years. Traveling and the bumps that come along with a nomadic life have made me pretty jaded, something that I am trying to overcome. <BR/><BR/>I also lost, after a crisis a couple of years ago, several aspects of my personality - spontaneity, the ability to trust easily, the freedom to flirt and be charming, my independent spirit. Luckly I made it through to the other side of the bad times and have recuperated all of the aspects of my personality that I want back.<BR/><BR/>~Telfair - definitely part of the nomadic lifestyle!<BR/><BR/>~Lisrobbe - thanks for reading!<BR/><BR/>~Alina - what a sad story, especially for a young girl. Maybe you can hire the detective agency Tinker has dreamt up and find your lost treasure.Ali Ambrosiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00521627345210424042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11955271.post-1150521554972015202006-06-16T22:19:00.000-07:002006-06-16T22:19:00.000-07:00Ali, I suppose you are quite busy or travelling ag...Ali, I suppose you are quite busy or travelling again.

See the path the objects you've lost took. I would especially want to know what happened to a certain gold medalion, the first one I bought from my savings when I was about 12...It fell from my necklace and I looked for it for hours, then cried for two days. Should I also say I bought it from the bus tickets money I never spent? :DAlinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715176905499669530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11955271.post-1150233162726232542006-06-13T14:12:00.000-07:002006-06-13T14:12:00.000-07:00This post sends memory dancing through the years, ...This post sends memory dancing through the years, wondering, wondering...Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06105270971959281644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11955271.post-1150139258454633502006-06-12T12:07:00.000-07:002006-06-12T12:07:00.000-07:00This post brought back memories of all the times I...This post brought back memories of all the times I came home form school as a kid with my mother questiong me on where I lost something.

I'm constantly sifting through my things, coming up empty-handed whilst looking for something I knew I had once. Is it in storage? Is it at my parent's house?
