I was burglarized last year..
which was annoying, but most of the stuff taken was replaceable apart from school work that I hadn't paid enough attention to originally to be able to redo.

After the inital "OMFG they've taken so much stuff" I found myself manically searching for something that I sincerely doubt anyone would want to steal: a ring.

Not an engagement ring or an expensive ring or anything like that, just a £5 ring that my first love gave me for xmas 4 years ago. It was originally silver but has turned kind of orangey in places.

I wore it loads, until 2 years ago it went missing for several weeks and I feared that my jealous horrible boyfriend at the time had taken it, but I found it again and kept it safe.

After that I didn't wear it often, but when I was down I used to put it on for a day and remember the good times. I'm not saying I haven't been happy since him.. but I'd be lying if I said that I don't often miss him.. or that when waking up with other people I've never wished it was him.. or that it doesn't still physically hurt whenever I hear his latest girl-troubles..

Anyway, last time I tried it on I discovered that the uni-weight I've put on means it no longer fits. So my most treasured possession is now totally useless, but nothing else can make me cry and smile at the same time.

Apologies for sappiness *hides*

"BURGLARIZED"

The word is 'burgled', my dear girl, 'burgled'.

uni-weight
When ah were a lad, we used to lose weight at uni. What is it with modern students and their weight-gain?

Oh, and *hugs*
