Sexy LOVAH
FOUND by Kristin
in Bloomington, IN
I work at the Indiana University library, and this is one of many treasures I've found in the stacks. It's a note to Amy from her pretty lady. I looked at it laying on the floor for days, trying to decide whether to leave it in case Amy accidentally dropped it or to claim it for FOUND. Sorry Amy!

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
Okay guys, Don't do us like this. We're going to need an enhanced magnify feature for this one.. what's it say on the white/yellow pieces? Please?
oh.. wait- it's just the dictionary defs for sexy and lover, innit? shows up a little better before "magnify."
Maybe a tad desperate (was it lost or tossed?), but still sweet.
I'm going to be a little pedantic about this, but I'm really curious about the logistics of this one. The easiest and most natural way to write on one's fingers, palm-side, is with the tops of the letters closest to the thumb. Check it out--try to write on your finger--you're going to naturally write that way. In order to write on your own hand, this way, you have to twist your hand unnaturally sideways, which is not only awkward and a bit uncomfortable, but just doesn't make sense. Did pretty lady have an accomplice?
Oh. I suppose she could have just written that note AFTER she make the photo-copy.
Don't mind me.
POT GRAVEY!
Why put this on a photo-copy of a hand? I can't really read what's written on the fingers, am I missing something?
Nevermind, figured out what it says. Still confused as to why it's on a hand though.
Ugh. You guys are just not getting it today. This is sweet.
@ Kermit, i think the hand is her right hand. so she's left handed, and then how she's written it is the most natural
I think this is awesome, I might steal the idea but do it a little different for my sexy lovah for Valentine's day. This is her left hand (look at the palms of your hand, your left hand's thumb is on the left like this hand, the image of your palm doesn't get reversed when you photocopy it). She photocopied her hand with the definitions and then wrote on her fingers afterward. I agree the definitions are a little too small but maybe this was an early attempt, that would explain why it was left and never retrieved.
Beats the socks off of the standard office-party photocopy of someone's butt!
Actually if this is a note passed between lady lovers, the significance of the hand image is...well...significant.
So many love notes found on floors, in puddles, on pavements. Hard times for lovers indeed.
Baby Basil: I had the same thought re: hands.
Definitely a sexy and very sweet find. I'd say that Amy is a lucky gal.
How to make this love note:
Photocopy hand
Photocopy selected text
Write sentiment on fingers with flair pen
cut out text, tape to yellow paper
Tape that to top of hand.
Volia! instant sweetness- lovely, creative, romantic and cute. And library-friendly, because she bothered to copy the text rather than just cut it out of the book.
Super sweet. This is the best kind of love note, because there was obvious forethought and planning that went into it.
I'm guessing it was "lost" because it was either a duplicate, or an early attempt. I hope Amy was as impressed as I am.
P.S. Spam protection: What if I knew the answer was "Wednesday" but didn't know how to spell it???
If you copy the pic to an external image viewer you can tell that it's written on the photo copy
other observations -
Wedding) RING BLURRED OUT???
This person has one of those
creepy finger thumbs.
Person is carrying a sharp instrument to slice/carve textual treats from library books...
Careful Amy... next there may be magazine letter ransom notes and statements like -
"Amy rubs the lotion on it to make Amy's skin supple!"
Fire the janitors. This was on the floor for days?? What do we pay you people for anyway! Sweep the f'ing floors every day, whydoncha?!?
Maybe it's Pretty Lady's and Amy's wedding ring? Nothing nefarious.
(I'm from Massachusetts)
you think writing a message on your fingers before photocopying them is hard, try doing the same with the body part people usually photocopy.
(it's also much less romantic... or so I'm told...)
p.s. is it just me, or is there only one find today?
Ahhh, experimental college lesbians. does it get any better than that? .. I kissed a girl and I liked it. Hope my boyfriend won't mind it.
I wonder if the creator of this little gem hacked up a property of Indiana University Library dictionary for those definitions. Obviously the yellow was put on after the copy was made, since the copy is B&W.
A. in the Midwest, if you know that the spam Q answer is Wednesday (or scissors) but can't spell it, copy your post if you've already typed it, hit refresh for a new spam Q, and paste your post back in. (or check the Q before typing to save a step. If you don't know it, refresh for a different Q.)
Or you could learn how to spell Wednesday.
Snarky, I was thinking the same thing. How did it remain on the floor for several days? Maybe Indiana is like Oregon, where half the custodial staff has been laid off, due to budget shortfalls.
Or maybe Kristin, the finder, IS the custodian, in which case it would be her prerogative to leave it on the floor an extra day or two.
That's pretty creepy for a love note >.>;;
I have no idea what this love note says..even with magnify. Could someone please 'splain?
uh, and only one find today?
dang
Talk to the hand.
Maybe it was a post secret
@ Sara: thanks for validating my creeped outness.
Today's Find goes with this one:
"Hands Off My Loofah, Bitch!"
http://www.foundmagazine.com/find/1301
Hands down.
The odd thing is, although I try to find lesbian innuendo in all aspects of my daily life, the tone I got from this was more friendly, less romantic. But that's just me.
if only it was addressed to Sally Elizabeth Jones, rather than "AMY" I'd swear it was from Sissy Hankshaw Gitche to Bonanza Jellybean.
Those thumbs! (you've got to let those strange hands touch you.)
Wow, I wish I was Amy. How can you not see the romance in this? I think it's my favorite find thus far. This makes me love being a lesbian...more than I already do.
~sigh~
Still don't know what is written on the hand.
Must have been good of Wishing liked it.
Oh! I can sort of see!
Nice. I never get these.
Did anybody notice that this same Kristin had another find a couple of days earlier? (11/8/09)
Libraries must be goldmines.
All that waste of black toner is going to gunk up the copy machine. I used to work in an office and one of my pet peeves was when people didn't close the lid on the copier, thus making a very dark copy, using up too much toner and making a mess of the innards of the machine. Of course I was "the only one" (i.e. the only one not too lazy) who was capable of unjamming a copy machine.
I think this is a bad ass way to show your lady some love. simple, to the point. I would dig it if given to me.
To Just me in my house:
a little repressed anger about copier machines have we? haha
Guys, if you want your lady to get off your back about being romantic, do something like this. Yes! It's just that easy! Some guys will never get it, though. "What? I just bought you a tire gauge last month for our anniversary! THAT shows I care for your safety!"
@Mlm - Didn't you mean "Guys, if you want get your lady on their back..." ?
@Hiplainsdrifter-Six on one hand, half a dozen on the other. Something like this could accomplish both! :)
