Once was Lost, but Now is Found
Not me, silly!
The Friday afternoon before I left for the Young Adults Christmas party, I went to the library to use the internet. I kinda procrastinated a bit too much for my own good, and still hadn't sent the pictures from my Brisbane and Sydney holiday to Mum and Dad yet. Don't even get me started on why I can't use the internet at home. Grrr...
Man, the new LCD monitors they've put in there are huge! Even bigger than my tv. Which was totally awesome, but I felt like I was gonna eventually be blinded for sitting there too long.
Oh whoops, got a bit distracted there. Yes, went to the library and I had my external hard drive and earphones with me. Thought the earphones would be good if I wanted to watch videos on YouTube and not be a nuisance to everyone around me. And being the lazy person that I am, I just stuffed them both into my bag, causing their wires to get all coiled up. So you couldn't take one out without consequently fishing out the other.
Eventually untangled them, plugged the hard drive in, and left the earphones on the table - just in case I wanted to use them when I was finished with sending the photos. Gosh, the whole process took ages. By the time I was done with the photos, it was already time to go home and get ready for the party. Even planned on leaving at 3, but ended up rushing through it all, and still left at 3:20.
So yeah, went home, got ready, went to the Christmas party and had an awesome time playing mini golf. I won by the way! Haha, loved the look on the boys' faces when they lost to a girl. Anyway, I got home that night to call Mum on Skype and realised that my earphones were nowhere in sight. Checked my bag, the drawer I usually put them in. Couldn't find them.
Then I thought, oh maybe I left them at the library - which I seriously hope I didn't, because it would either mean that someone else could've taken them or the cleaning lady might've vacuumed it up if it was lying on the ground. Kept looking around the house, but still had no luck. Went back to the library the next day, but it was closed because it was a Saturday. It would normally be open every day, but because it's during the semester break, they close on weekends.
Darn it. Had to wait till Monday, and that would increase the chances of me not finding it. But I didn't have much of a choice so... Went back again on Monday, and there it was! Right where I left them! Untouched, unmoved. I would've skipped around and done a little dance, if it wasn't a library full of people who would think I was insane. Totally made my day!
I'm sorry if it seems like I've written an entire epic saga just on the tale of my missing earphones. But I think you pretty much understand how much free time I have on my hands now. Hehe...
