is it just me?

[squee]

okay so i apologize for not updating for so long

and seriously i attempted to comment but as dumb

as it sounds this confuses me... not even kidding. i

have a livejournal that i have had since 2000 and

i'm so used to the basic updating and commenting

on my friends that this is a lot for me. but whatever.

i seem to only be able to work on this when i'm sitting

next to harmony.

this is also going to sound really dumb, but does any

an attachment to an article of clothing or jewlery or

something?

i've had this stupid plastic bracelet that i've been

wearing it since i was in ninth grade i was probably

14 years old and it broke. it's really messing with me!!

I NEED IT! there is nothing where it used to be. i tried to

tape it up but it wouldn't work. i am so upset. some

girl gave it to me at a party i was smashed at and i

haven't seen her since. five years i've had this on!

and it's not there anymore. i mean i NEVER took it off!

i don't know where exactally i'm going with this, but

it might just be ruining my life... i'm kidding

i think

attachment is the root of all suffering...

accept that the bracelet is now where it needs to be, and be thankful for the memories it brings forth! : if it is gone, you must be ready for something new... =)

I've a pendant with a pewter casting of a "Moon" tarot card. It was given me by a very close friend after her summer vacation back home in NYC. She said she found it Greenwich Village and it made her think of me.

I've had it, and worn it most every day for seven or eight years.

There are 2 things I can't bear to take off: My sterling Virgin Mary charm and my livestrong bracelet. I did it once, and I was literally discombobulated the entire day. It was really weird. Like I was missing my left arm....

Well, there's my wedding ring of course. We couldn't afford gold, so we both got matching sterling rings from Kohl's. I've only removed it a couple times for cleaning.

I wear a ring on my right pinky that says "Jon's". I got that in St. Augustine Florida a few months before we got married, and it's only been off my finger a couple times for a couple minutes for polishing. The J & S are rubbing kinda smooth, and I have a near permanent indentation in my finger now.

Besides those, I vary my jewelry a lot. I used to be big on wearing stacks of bracelets - in the 80's it was the rubber multi-colored ones, in the early 90's it was handmade friendship bracelets, and then later it was hand-made bracelets made from semi-precious and other round, stone beads.

I have to adorn my biker jacket with tons of shiny pretties, too. The epaulets on one arm have strings of rhinestones in varying lengths & colors. The other shoulder has strung seed beads of varying lengths & patterns. I have tiny padlocks on all the zipper pulls. I'm not sure I'm going to keep this one, though. I just bought it a couple years ago off Ebay. It's pefectly fitted to me - even the arms are shortened to fit my shorter-than-average arms to a T. But I didn't know when I bid on it that it has a center back seam. I like to put custom artwork on the back, and it's virtually impossible with that nasty, thick seam. :unhappy:

I have a moonstone that I have worn for 5 years and don't ever take it off. I did once and like Brenda, I felt completely weird without it. I don't know what I'll do when I get married because I always wear it on my "wedding ring finger." But like Torn said, I believe that you must be ready for something new!

[JaneDead]

i have attachments to too many things. i have been trying to work past that for several years because my attachments to "things" have been bad for me. i was realizing there wasnt room in my life for anything new. in any way shape or form. it was really weird that "things" could hold me back like that.

i don't have any jewelry attachments. not even to my wedding ring. i don't ever wear it since it no longer fits my finger.

i too hope that will just remember it fondly and move on to something new.

I have a silver pinkie ring that belonged to my birth mother. I received it from her estate after she passed. It used to be facted, but I've worn it for so long, now the metal is smooth. It wasn't a pinkie ring for her; she was such a small person, that this ring fit on her left ring finger. But my knuckles are large enough that I have to wear it on my pinkie.

I take it off in the morning when I do my hair (hair gel is your friend, ladies : ) and put it back after I wash my hands. Once in a while, I'll forget to put it back on in my rush and I feel naked for the rest of the day. Well, on my hand, at least. :grin:

Wow. That's a mind-blowing concept.

Really.

I'm going to be pondering those thoughts for a long time.

i'm rather attached to my skin...

i realy arent attached to jewelary. to many scars resulting in jewelry or other frivelties such as neckties.
