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...
It's a two-fer. Bonus!
To the author/s: way to put it right out there. No need for us to read between the lines....
"Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?
Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.
Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?"
Ooh Lor', a Part Two.
That puts a different complexion on things.
I really don't want to be reading this.
soo... heart and cater is basically a breakup note? She broke up with him? He still wants.. I'm confused.
"I just don't want to just be friends"
Anyway.. Rock on, Jason.. Awesome to see the reverse side of a Find for once, so we don't have to photoshop it until our eyes bleed just to deciper the back!! This and the arrows in the profiles.. you guys are busy busy bees, and it's lookin' good.
H
After reading both sides, I hope they decide to give the relationship one more try. Maybe they need to reconcile the past with each other present.
(Shhhh....don't tell Kira there's a side two.)
our very only secret. But it really makes me wonder how many Secret 2nd Finds of the Day I've missed by not being observant enough to notice the arrow on the comments page.
Heh, you haven't missed any, shhhhh! Thanks to a little kink in the FOUND internet tubes (and your own keen eye), you're seeing the premiere of TWO Finds of the Day per day.
Just keep it a secret for a few more minutes, and pretty soon everybody else will be joining us over here!
That's right party people. We're doubling the finds you'll see each day! Today we started with a front/back combo, but here on out you'll be seeing a morning find and an afternoon find. Enjoy!!!
Jason, you rock our Found world!!!
More for Lars:
Ok. When I paid I was just so depressed. Especially when you asked the waiter to give you more dessert. My bank account is hurting.
I was so confused at first.
I love this one. It's like some emo love song.
I'm wondering if its the geeks at work who have found me out, or if its a glitch with found, but i can't sign in.
two finds per day? oh my goodness, Jason. What have we done to deserve this? is it our good looks? our charming peronalities? our ability to get along so well as a group? (no, definitely not that one.)
I for one, feel blessed and honoured. Thank you (and i hope one of my finds gets on here sometime soon)
Wow... a breakup note that includes the line "a lot of weird metaphors. If you don't get any of them I'd be happy to explain"???!
"Well ex-sweetie, the angry ground symbolizes the way I've become after spending too much time with you: Hardened and cracked, parched and desiring "love water," which is really just a concept I sort of stole from a Dire Straits song. Do you get it now? No? Ok, let me put it another way...”
And he thinks he was depressed after she prayed for a spirit of friendship...
Just screw him already. Sheeesh.
I knew this was a note to her ex-boyfriend! Although it was a little poetic I guess.
It's too late in the month to be posting this stuff.
I'm going to cry now for no reason in particular except that this note is sad and they always cancel the best tv shows, tissue commercials are so depressing and how hungry does an actor have to be to do a Valtrex commercial and the ice-cream has freezer burn...and..and.
No longer will I ever wonder what was on the other side ...of this note at least. I think I liked it better before this became a breakup how Blah. Also if you think you need to explain your metaphors to this person it's probably better to say it straight. Silly teen love is as adorable as it is annoying.

@Mona - The only way I can log in is by going back to the E-mail with the confirmation link. If you still have it that may work.
LOL, I totally could have written this... but some things are better left unsaid.
It's probably a cookies thing.
You're logging on problem, I meant. It's probably a cookies thing.
Oh wow. See, I actually like this side. It's honest. Doomed, but sweet and straightforward.
There there, Terry. We'll get you some fresh ice cream. Put on your fuzzy slippers in the meantime, and have some tea. And maybe some cookies.
I hate this, it makes me feel awkward FOR this note's recipient. Not only does he give her a pretty desperate note, but adds POEMS! (oh no!)
This totally reminds me of a creepy guy I went out with VERY briefly who took the rejection VERY hard.
She's just not that into you, man..
Lance Calzones: I should have known you'd be a Cheap Trick fan!
"White Settlement, TX"?? Geez, just how WASP can it get?
The guy wants to "hold her, kiss her, lay with her" (ie he wants in her pants.) The girl with the weird metaphors decided to spiritualise the whole thing and offer to pray with him...a turnoff if ever there was one, for something that's getting to heavy to hold onto. She *doesn't* want him, in any way, shape or form, so she prays for "a spirit of friendship." Translated from the Vulgate, that means, "Back off, for God's sake!"
Yeah, I’m with Basil: If the other person actually resorts to praying for “a Spirit of Friendship,” its time to bring down the flag on the relationship. Sorry. You may think “it’s still alive,” but I believe a polite way to phrase this is that “it has gone with the Lord.”
Or, in Monty Python terms: “This relationship is no more! It has ceased to be! It’s expired and gone to meet its maker! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you weren’t still hanging on for dear life, it’d be pushing up the daisies! Its metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'It’s off the twig! It's kicked the bucket; it's shuffled off its mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!!”
Give it up man. Give it up.

ok, when you peed i was just so depressed especially when you asked me to give you more toilet paper.
weird. where'd that come from, i wonder.
@ night: we are very alike. in many ways. however, i will quote blanche dubois to explain the difference: "i stayed....you left...."
"I'm tired. Goodnight. I love you."
Why, oh why -- for the love of man! -- sign your break up note to a desperate twat "I love you."? All that accomplishes is the perception -- no matter how contrived -- of an ember of hope that provokes the pitiful response we read.
Fathers and mothers: teach your daughters that the "spirit of friendship" -- indeed any display of kindness or humanity -- in a break up note/conversation/poem/ballad/email/billboard directed to a desperate boy/man will only provoke a groveling display. Far better for a man to recognize an absolute futility, defecate on the note, and head to his preferred place of pity.
Don't be nice to us. It isn't nice.
thanks, Terrie. We're not allowed to have cookies at work. I'm sure that's what it is. cuz here at home, i'm good to go. darn cookies.
@ Lars in NWC (are there 2 people named Lars here?)
That WAS weird. So I'll quote Ms DuBois back at ya. "I can't stand a naked light bulb any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action." 8-)
But what did you mean, that you're still up there and I'm down here? Where's NWC?
@ So clever: Parents need to teach their boys the same thing. If it's over, just say it's over and goodbye.
aw.. this situation sounds so familiar..i love this guy.. and we're so good as friends..but
i just really wish we were more..
i know that he is never going to see this.. but
Chris, i love you.. and no one else in this world makes me feel as alive as i do when we're just talking.. my life would be such bliss if you were mine..
back @ night: i'm a yankee, too. and yes, i see a lars in jersey was here today. certainly jersey's not in new england. thank goodness. oh wait, maybe you consider all of the north where the yanks live? hm. i am tried and true, new england blue, through and through.
@Lars: Yes, Texans call all northerners "yankees". And we're "damn yankees" when we stay down here. But I've heard enough Texas talk today...
What's nwc, then?
Oh, NW CT?
i feel so exposed!
Your light bulb is showing.
Oh, Nurse Trixie! Does it take one to know one? A Fan, I mean. (Not a cheap trick.)
@ terrie: the break-up was also probably a cookies thing. it always is.
AAAwwww no way. You're blowing my mind, man.
i should quit over the cookies
This note made me think of a sermon on marital obligation (viz, sex in wedlock) that I had to read for a class on Early Modern sexuality. It advocated praying before AND after sex as a way to 'moderate' lust. I can think of little less sexy than that - "Hang on a second honey, I just have to talk to God for a minute ... nevermind".
Ummm, I wouldnt be too sure that this is in all actuality a breakup... More like a "lets see how we work as friends" kind of thing. He screwed up, she dumped him but they stayed friends... They both still want to be together apparently... Not really a breakup, a pause in the relationship. They probably got married as soon as they graduated high school.
Non sequitur, the best way is to pray DURING.
Oh God... oh God... Oh... GOD!!
Damn. Now I want a cookie.
Damn.. Now I need a cigarette!
Oh wow...this sounds like one of my husband's letters to me while we were dating. I wasn't quite ready for a relationship with him when he wanted one and he wrote me a letter much like the one above. We ended up dating again and ***poof*** we're married. Well it didn't happen exactly like that but it sure felt like it.
