Leather, Lumpy Grey Things, and.... Nazis?


First off, the other day I found this leather tag on the ground. :) The metal clasp thing is cool... I might use it to attach something later. I figure this fell off of a backpack or a coat or something.


This is..... a lumpy grey cloth. I wasn't sure what part of the body this piece of clothing has recently touched, how smelly or dirty that body might be, and etc. .... so I didn't touch it. Ew. I found it on the floor of my dorm right next to the door I was about to walk out of... But there you have it.

This was possibly the most interesting find of my day. Haha. In our library, we apparently have an 8-volume set of Kipling's writings.... with Nazi symbols on them. XD!!! I haven't a clue why Nazis were publishing works in English... o.O It had no publication date on the inside (although many of the pages have even more of these Nazi symbols decoratively displayed) so it could be that these weren't published by Nazis, but were published before the symbol got its bad connotations... but I doubt it. The symbol is too boldly displayed for it to just be decorative...

Until next time. ^_^

Also from the bird day...

I forgot one!!


Dinner on the bird day... I went to our food area to study, and discovered this hoodie! It's my size, and I really like it... it's soft! It also smells STRONGLY of laundry detergent. But anyway! I folded it up and left it on the table for someone to come back and find. At midnight, I came back and it was still there, neatly folded, right where I left it. I asked my friend who's a janitor there what they do with clothes they find, and he said they just throw them into lost and found, but if it's been there all day and no one has come back to claim it, he said he wouldn't tell anyone if I took it.

...

So I did. :D I have a new hoodie!!!

A bird-themed day!

Yesterday, I exited my dorm to go to class, as I do every morning... however! On this particular day, there was a cd in the window!! I was late to class, so I didn't stop to take a picture. The cover said "Choral 2009" on it and some other stuff. After several classes, I came back to my dorm and discovered that the cd was STILL THERE. So I took a picture. :) Later, when I came back, it was gone. (Music totally has to do with birds. Birds sing!)

Later, many hours later, as I exited my dorm, I discovered an unnaturally bright turquoise feather on the ground! It is truly unnaturally turquoise... no real, organic, God-made bird is this colour, hahaha. I think it was a part of someone's costume for our "Harvest Fest" Dance-but-not that we have every year.

This find I cannot take credit for... someone else found it. But I thought it was worth mentioning. This poor cardinal had a broken leg, and two girls from my class found him and placed him in a box. They told us their plan was to take it to the biology professors and see if they knew how to save him. If they didn't, they were going to take it to a vet. Aww! Yay for bird love!

This last one has absolutely nothing to do with birds, but I was so excited that I found so many things in one day, I decided to include this. I found a bottle cap on the floor! And it had a coke rewards point on the inside that wasn't used (until now dun dun dunn) ... The end!

(I found something today but I'm going to save it for tomorrow, because I want to avoid massive posts... I want to have a bunch of little posts!!)
