Arrow Most prized possession - April 2nd 2010, 06:26 AM

What's your most prized possession & why?

For me it's my dog-tags. I should explain that I'm a mutt, bastard son. My father ran off on my mother when I was born. I never knew them, but that's still my history - discarded.

The dog-tags remind me of the home I have now. My adoptive parents and adoptive name. The ones who raised me. It reminds me of who I am when I'm in doubt that I have a home.

Ironically I also have a chain-wallet with the Superman S logo. My biological name starts with S, so it's a chain to my biological routes as well.

What I'd like to believe - as I head in 'Clash of the Titans' - I'm the best of both worlds. I just have to come to accept both (kind of like Clark in 'Smallville', he can only become Superman once he's accepted his adoptive & biological roots).


"Maybe I just like people. Maybe sexuality isn't one thing or the other. Maybe it's just something that's shifting and moving. I just know I'm not thinking man or woman."
- SHAMELESS.

..and our dreams will break the boundaries of our fears..

Just because you're adopted doesn't mean you're any less of a legitimate person. My father was an alcoholic and abusive. I would have been much better off if I'd been placed in a home that wanted me.

Honestly, my laptiop. My family gave it to me. It has everything - photos, music, videos of my memories. It may seem silly, but it has more meaning to me than just a stupid computer.

Well there is my external hard drive which has my life on it. My music, photos and saved MSN conversations

I also have my memory box filled with things from the last 3 years with my boyfriend. Tickets, photos, letters, cards etc.

Oh and I have an engraved Beauty and the Beast snow globe from my boyfriend which I love.

I totally agree with this. I'm glad I'm not the only since I thought me picking my laptop was going to sound really shallow.

I keep all my photos on here, it has lots and lots of music and all my msn conversations.

One of them is a friendship ring that I've been given from a good friend of mine in middle school. A year ago I found out she was diagnosed with Leukemia and she passed away, I haven't taken off the ring since then.

UHHH Either my phone (It's how I keep in touch with, anyone really. It's pathetic)
or the necklace my boyfriend gave me
or the notebook he gave me
or my guitar.


Also, do pets count as possessions? Cause I totally love my dogs and hedgehog more than anything else.
People don't though I suppose. They're not possessions >.>

Either my iPod, (sounds superficial, but it's got a LOT of value to me) or my stuffies, Puppy, Doggie and Cowcow. Yes, have your laugh. I picked very creative names.


"Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it.
I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote,
“Dear Jim: I loved your card.”
Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.”
That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything.
He saw it, he loved it, he ate it."

Awww I like those names. My stuffed aminals have a very special place in my heart too. And in my lungs since now they're collecting dust as they sit next to my bed. Haha so corny but so true. I cant sleep with them ever since my cousin slept over and discovered me clutching a bear as I slept. And took a picture on her phone and showed it to me and said "Do you recognize this person?" Who does that??



I think my most prized possession is my computer too. I have so many folders of pictures, songs, and files that mean so much to me. Not to mention I save IM chats. Not even to be a creepy stalker and smile to myself as I relive a funny moment on AIM but to review stuff to keep my memory sharp.

It's an odd one. The things that bring me most pleasure are my PC (common it seems) and my keyboard, but that's not what you're asking. I could lose all that and it actually wouldn't bother me - in fact I'd enjoy the prospect of starting from scratch.

No, I'd say my jacket would be my most prized possession. Strange? It is really, but if I lost it I wouldn't feel like myself any longer. It's sort of a part of who I am (though my friends have difficulty linking to me with leather, it's one of those little paradoxes).

Now if I had to bring one thing with me somewhere, it would actually be my camera, but i wouldn't be able to find a memory card big enough to last me

I have a gold necklace with a cross on it that has a heart in the middle. This was a pregnant from my grandparents who raised me. My birthday was May 29th, on June 10th, my grandma passed away. On July 10th, my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer and November 24th, he passed away. I cant explain how much that necklace means to me.

My life.
Other than that, I would have to say my novel. It's part of who I am and I've spent countless hours on it (over 500 pages) and if I lost it I wouldn't be me. So yeah. I'd have to say my most prized possession is my novel.

My archives. It's all of the pictures I've taken, all of my personal writing (poems, stories, essays, and so on), notes that were written to me in school, letters people have written to me, and tokens of places I've been. I try to keep a record of all of these things with a paper trail and digitalizing them on my computer.
