We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
+ You did it! Congrats to our FOUND friends involved in the Best Picture of 2009, The Hurt Locker!
+ FOUND #7 coverboy Willis Earl Beal, now in t-shirt form!
you know... it is very hard to find shit to hang earrings on... i have experienced this angst personally
this reminds me of my list of things to get for college when i was a freshman. except the boom box, blow-up chair, and earring thing... LOL
Ah Yes. The Moving out list.
Skinny Jeans, tampons, and batteries made me laugh.
Looks like my daughter's moving-into-the-college-dorms list. Coming up in a couple of weeks, as a matter of fact.
Gotta have the crappy flip flops for those showers!
This list is great, especially the blow up chair. I didn't know those were still available in store.
Yes, I remember--my cheap parents did allow me to buy lots of little "dorm presents" they would never otherwise have sanctioned when I went to college. But then I was a scholarship student, it wasn't costing them any money.
Becoming a person cost me everything I had.
But please, gods of Found--not another week of lists.
sorry, but nobody NEEDS a blow-up chair. Nobody.
The "back to school" edition of found is a week late.
sucks that the author lost this list. there's no mnemonic that would help you remember this one (i'm not the only one to do that, right?).
Wow. This kid's getting a Charger? I had to settle for a '67 Triumph that broke down so often the repairs cost more than my tuition.
Lars, I ALWAYS use mnemonics to remember my shopping lists!
Skinny jeans, tights.
Absolutely no shirts.
What about the picture frame for Japanese cloth?
I wonder if it will match her blow up chair.
ahh...this time of year always reminds me of my first college days...what a great time. has anyone perfected the time machine? if so, i want a ride.
Did she recently lose weight? Otherwise why specify "skinny" jeans?
yeah this list is pretty legit. i mean i have no need for the lady things, being as i am not a lady. but you gots to have flip-flops. and a blowup chair.
And now these three remain: batteries, tampons and the thing to hang earrings on. But the greatest of these is the thing to hang earrings on.
At first I thought this was a list for a sleep away camp of some sort. Because the small items came first. But then there were things like blow up chairs, rugs, posters and laundry baskets and I knew it was for a dorm. Because no one takes that much shit to an week in camp. And Are glasses considered clothes now? I always thought of them as accesories?
When do youth learn to differentiate between "needs' and "wants"?
("Skinny jeans" is a particular style, not the opposite of "fat pants.")
I was thinking bean bag chairs were the best, but truly, blow up chairs really rock. I mean, you may as well get a few, since your dorm room will be the most popular party place.
This looks like something I would write.....
Is the "CLOTHES" a new category or just something she needs intensely? If it's a category then I'm pretty sure that an alarm clock is not an article of clothing....
I just logged on and choked on the oj as I read Mary's post.
I wonder if the local Walmart carries all the shit needed.
My kids have furnished their pad with really cool finds from dumpsters, yard sales, and thrift stores. People throw out some really good shit.
True enough, Lolita. I have seen computers and furniture and t.v.s sitting outside of dumpsters at nice apt. complexes.
A college student can do pretty good by driving around some of those areas and scoring those treasures.
Hey L, skinny jeans are a type of fit - like "boyfriend" or "flare"... they're supposed to give skinny girls curves.
I remember making this list a couple years ago... and I totally had a blow up chair! It's so useful in small spaces... extra seating when you need it and deflated under the bed when it's not!
OOOOHHH...tights AND skinny jeans.
I love tights. I have some really cool tights with funky stripes and colors on them and warm for winter.
(make sure the winter boots are a good match for those tights!)
Boom box! Hooray!
@Whiskey: As someone who absolutely MUST wear glasses, I assure you, they are no mere accessory. I'd sooner walk out of the house shirtless than sans glasses. It is serious.
@Not just another mouth: I wouldn't dare try to leave the house sans glasses. I can't see beyond the end of my nose. (It's a very long Womble nose, so I can't even see to the end of it.) I need a new pair, I think, but I cringe to think of the cost. When I can't concentrate on a film to the end,my prescription needs changing.
I didn't realize ALARM CLOCK's were fashionable now.
I'm so behind *sigh*
It seems too aloof to be for a frosh. Maybe an upperclassman moving off-campus or something. You tend to be nervous going to school for the first time and then you organize your thoughts more rigidly. This seems like a girl who has been through this before. Just my thought.
Although I guess the "crappy flip-flops" wouldn't support off-campus. I'd say sophomore.
What's wrong with lists? They can be fun. You can go out and buy all the stuff on a found list and have photo shoots with them.
Blow up chairs + framed Japanese cloths = ultimate party central!
christmas tree lights! that was the most homey and atmospheric part of my little dorm single.
I am about to take a special trip to Target with shuttles sponsored by my college, and I was just looking over my shopping list of stuff for my dorm / odds and ends that I need to buy.
This list is very much like mine!
this makes me want my own list :)
Maybe you could wear an alarm clock for Halloween?
I'm picturing this coed wearing skinny jeans tucked into winter boots and a towel wrapped around the top. No wonder she needs glasses.
Ahhhhh, College.
jaja thats sooo college :) she forgot the light bulbs though and the umbrella
I have a list just like this that I wrote when I moved into my current place. There's not much crossed off!
I wouldn't want to shower in a tub OR a stall if I had to wear flip-flops!!!
This list is kind of freaking me out. I'm not sure how many times I've read through it wondering when on earth I wrote this and how it wound up in Connecticut. It's my handwriting, manner of list-writing, writing utensil of choice, and everything else to a T. I'm still not convinced it's not mine, to be quite honest. I do not wear skinny jeans nor have I ever had the desire to frame Japanese cloth, but maybe I wrote this list for someone else?! Maybe I have an alter-ego of which I'm not aware?!? Gah!
Sounds like someone getting ready to go off to college. Ah, memories.
Her writing "tampons" clearly reminder her to to list "batteries" and then "bathrobe". I think we can surmise what the batteries are for! BZZZZZ!
Well, I'm looking at this again after getting some sleep, and I'm still pretty certain I wrote this. Bizarre.
And by the way, the batteries would be for my various cameras, thank you very much. My phone charger, tampons, and camera batteries pretty much always top the lists I make for packing for anything. It sucks to forget them.
Her list was certainly more comprehensive than mine. I just moved into a dorm myself, and have managed to function without the majority of this list.
Shocking.
She seems like a cool chick though. Who knows.
Welcome to town Anna! Or welcome back!
dude, this is something i would write.
i have made list similar before
That reminds me! I also am out of tight, skinny jeans.
I remember when my husband found this...we both thought it was very funny! Glad to see so many comments
Trilby!
Did you find this note in Connecticut?
I'm still quite certain this is mine, but if it were found out of state, that would be the biggest mystery of all to me.
I laughed at the fact that she only mentions tights and skinny jeans under clothes. Obviously they are the most important.
LOL bed bath and beyond... I quit working there after one day.
this totally looks like a list i would make!!
Obviously a Freshman shopping list.
PS why does it seem that all shopping list include tampons.
Is this in an issue of FOUND? This was sent to you by my uncle who is now deceased...would you let me know please.
