FOUND by LMK
in Peterborough, Ontario
Found this one outside a high school a few months ago. I'm still trying to find those twins, though.

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...
haha.. thats quite a morrning..
Since this was found a few months ago, and the list is May 4th, then May 4th is obviously some special event that they felt they needed to prepare for. And, being a teenage girl, I'd be willing to bet $10 it was prom. But why they needed to change balls on webring for prom I cannot say.
at the top they've written "Morning:" ..if they are going to do all this before noon then the rest of the day is probably going to be unbelievable. I didn't get that much done all week.
Is arm shaving a big thing these days?
Hm, shaving pits after putting on deodorant. Interesting choice. Wait a minute--shave ARMS and pits? Wha?
Sounds like a pretty fun day
I'm leaving on a trip today and I made a list too. Wish I'd thought to put cheezy popcorn and smokes on it.....
I wonder if the pink highlighted items are the ones he/she actually did cos I reckon they're still looking for those twins too. And they never did get round to changing the balls on the web ring. Hmmm.
oooooooooooh so many questions. What's this person preparing for? What are balls on a webring and a dot painting? Who are the twins that sell cigarettes? Why put on deodorant before shaving armpits? Who shaves their arms?
It'd be kind of hard to check your to-do list so that you can get up on time . . . but a worthy effort, I suppose. And we can't forget the socks, nope, very important. Do people really shave their ARMS as well as pits? weird. I like how everything is straight up out there, except deodorant (I think) is "put on DO". For some reason the first thing that popped into my head was Mountain Dew, the drink. "Do the Do". Damn commercialism. We're all brainwashed! Gaahh! I need sleep, but alas, work calls to me (because it wants my soul!)
I tried to bruel my teeth once. I think brushing is better.
Shave arms and pits? Why does she have to shave her arms? May 4th is too early to have a swim meet, I would think. I really wonder what she's going to do.
Thats really strange lol... the note bout the "shave arms and pits" is real weird... no girl shove have to shave her arms.... and a guy dont shave either... so im confused a lil bit lol
i shave my arms regularly. i like my tattoos to look as vibrant as possible
brittany...elipses...like three periods in a row...aren't supposed to be used in place of...a single period...or comma...lol
I shave my arms, so do a lot of my girlfriends. We all have for years. So smooth, and the guys love it...
I would :
Get up on time
brush teeth
shave arms and pits
dry hair straight
put on do
put on perfume ( Angel by Thierry Mugler )
put on socks
(put on other clothes)
change balls on web ring
get cheesy popcorn , cd player , all cd's matches and hairbrush
make sure I got key and hairbrush
get money from several smokers
buy smokes from the twins .
I think this would save a lot of time !
finish painting
i am going to think about changing balls on web ring all damn day.
unclesparki - i think it was bruch and she realized her mistake.
i used to make lists like this (still do!) with simplistic things on it (get up, shower, get dressed) just because it feels so good to cross something off.
it was a technique i was taught when i was in-patient for depression as a teen in the 80's. those small things could seem like mountains. old habits die hard -i still do the list, but for the satisfaction of crossing it off.
:-)
I don't think that its wierd that she shaved her arms and pits. I have a friend who used to shave her arms because they were very hairy, but some people are just hairy.
I wonder what was on the back, you can kinda see some writing... what are BALL's on a webring? Is this some new body rings? A ring through the webbing on their hand?
I've been in places where I needed to remind myself to brush my teeth... dark days, indeed. They didn't correspond with days where I would have brought a CD player and cheezy popcorn, though.
I can't imagine how uncomfortable it must be to drag a razor across your armpits. It always sounded like absolute torture to me.
Cigarette-selling twins? Sounds like something from a David Lynch movie.
shaving arms became rather a big thing with female rugby players a few years ago. Why, I have no idea, but most of them also shave EVERYTHING!!
Sounds like short-term memory loss. I like how getting the money from several smokers is crossed off, but not buying the cigarettes from the twins.
Nobody HAS to shave anything! If this kid wants to shave her arms: whatever! Leave her alone.
P.S. I think changing balls is a great idea.
I hear the twins have the "good" smokes if you know what I'm sayin'.
Uh, I know it was a crowded day, but do you really need to remind yourself to "put on socks"?
Thanks! If I see a girl with very smooth arms wearing only socks carrying a sack full of CDs and cheese-flavored popcorn who says she's looking for twins, I will be sure and refer her back to this website.
I am more interested in the items on the back of this page that you can see bleeding through. Some of those were highlighted as well. This person, I am guessing, a girl, had a busy morning.
"Change balls on web ring" I am thinking that it is maybe a piece of jewlery that can be changed - like beads or something on a ring. But, if you need a note to put on your socks and deoderant, and check your key... maybe that kind of jewelry is too sophisticated.
What's a "web ring?" A circle of friends on-line that smoke with twins?
I still would like to know what 'balls on a web ring' are. I think the girl is buying pot "smokes" or why would she only be buying "several" if they are cigarrettes? I also don't think she's going to prom, she wouldn't be so desperate to remember her watch, and she wouldn't be wearing socks! I think it's a job interview and she's going on the bus. That's why she's worried about her hair and wants to remember her CDs and CD player, plus she's bringing popcorn and soda to eat on the bus and afterwards when she gets the munchies. It's a mistake to put on perfume though, best to leave it off in interviews.
i understand this list like none other. I've written many a list like it.
This is not a too do list, it's not preparation list. this is a "i'm so depressed i can't fall asleep but i can't get myself to do anything, so i'll just write it all down and if i don't fucking DO IT tomorrow, i'm gonna kill myself." list.
That's why it includes all the random ambitions and the mundane details. Oh, and my guess is "shave arms and pits" probably means "shave armpits and cootchie- snortcher."
So, I'll be seeing some of you at hotcakes tonight, right?
Dear Mr. Found Guys,
Why is it that you never show us the other side? Do you hate us? Is this some kind of passive-aggressive tactic, intended to make us writhe in agony, doomed to spend the rest of the workday staring at the screen with our backwards-glasses on, grasping for the tiniest scrap of fulfillment and satisfaction of our curiosity?
You can't pull the wool over my eyes.
I watched a short film the other day called "Lens Love Story" which included some lists like this, apparently made for the probably autistic Len by his mother so he'd know how to function day-to-day. (Watch and it may break your heart.) http://video.nymag.com/index.jsp?fr_story=6673e39b8
Why not shave your legs too? And why wait so late in the day to brush your teeth? No bath/shower? This chick sounds a little sketchy.
I'm mystified by the "balls on the web ring" thing like so many others.
i think she's a dealer.
geez who shaves their arms nowadays? thats so like, totally freaking last year...*eye roll*
anyways, she had to do this so she could go impress the boss of her strip club who i imagine is a judgemental bitch about arm and pit hair.
Anoyone else notice she spelt morning, "morrning"..it's bugging me. Along with "change balls on web ring".. what does that mean?! And I couldn't help but get images of The Shining in my head when she mentioned getting smokes from the twins.
Well, now we know who took the Thursday CD!!
This may have well been my to do list, mainly beacuse I never get around to changing the balls on my web ring either. My web ring has had the same balls on it for three years now. Does anyone know if it's safe to still use a web ring with three year old balls on it?
Is brushing teeth not a given?
I used to know a couple girls who shaved their arms. I always thought it was rather silly. I mean, really, if I'm having trouble getting a date because of my arm hair, maybe I'm trying to date the wrong kind of guy.
Webrings are collections of similar sites that some webmasters use to improve search engine rankings by having links to their site on other people's websites. I don't know what she's doing with balls on her webring, but it sounds exciting that she was planning on changing them.
It looks like it continues on the back... what else did she write, I wonder?
you can get the webbing of your tongue peirced (at least i think it's called the webbing) - might have to change the balls on that.
HAHAHAHA at jason's comment, oddest mental picture ever
Not a bad idea, Flarg. As time goes on, we might start sticking the backside of finds like this in the "zoom" window.
Until then, the only backside you'll get will be that of my hand :)
Dorian, thanks for the video link.
That's cool, James. Seriously, I'll take any backside I can get these days.
no, stupidity is pretty much a turn-off.
I get my arms waxed along with everything else. I don't do it to get men--that is never a problem--I do it because it feels good to be smooth and supple! When I was younger, I shaved. Nothing wrong with impeccable personal hygiene.
I don't know if this was posted but a web-ring is a piercing of the web under your tongue. The part that looks like it connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth... yeah... my friend has one and it's really weird.
What did she write after "shave" that was crossed off?
come on, she's going to some memorial weekend music festival....why else would she need to buy pot and remember to bring soda?
i think this "web ring" is an actual piece of jewelry with interchangeable, crystal balls. i had 'em when i was a kid
My to do list: May 4th
4:30 print receipt with liquor list from foundmagazine
5pm. drive to the liquor store, buy the stuff (Sanharas has the cheapest liquor in town -- he's sold many winning million dollar lotto tickets).
Finally, go home, change my clothing and call all my friends.
Cuz it's FRIDAY!
I don't know what type of Prom some of you go to, but I've always only taken my small purse that carries my make-up & money. Nothing else. No cd's, no cheez popcorn. LOL! So so corny.
My guess is this: She's going out camping with her friends. On the back of the list are the following items (keep in mind her list is out of order):
batteries
sleeping bag
shave legs in case I get lucky
condom scratch that condoms (3 day wkend)
borrow tent from Tim
bug repellent
water bottles
liquor bottles
buy some coke from triplettes
bandaids
sleep (with someone)
She could have a tounge web piercing, a Scrumper (Upper or lower lip web piercing) or even have the skin between her fingers pierced but I doubt that because they are very hard to heal. In all of those piercings you wear jewelry that has small balls that screw onto the ring or barbell. They come in differant sizes and colors.
I'm totally psychic. Tomorrow, I predict that several teenage girls will say that the "Find of the Day" is creepy. If the find involves a male writing anything about a female, he will be identified as a stalker. The recipient will be advised to run away as fast as she can.
Will Madame Woo be right? Sometimes I am off by a few days, but I'm always right within a week!
When you stand next to someone who shaves their arms, and they haven't shaved since yesterday, and their arm accidentally brushes your arm, it's all prickley...
i can see forgetting to put socks on... i forgot to put panties on today. i was half way to work and realized... damn. I'd probably have a problem with socks too if I ever wore something other than flip-flops...
In the bottom right hand corner .. just above the arrow there is a tiny word printed in blue ink. A name? To me it looks like it says "History" or "Victory"?
The un-highlighted 'thing to do', below the 4th of May on the reverse side(I think) says something along the lines of "lift *something* my mass"
Ehem, that is all...
...Because socks are manditory!
if this was found a few months ago and it was a to-do list for May 4th(today) then nothing would be crossed off. so it must be a year old...hope she's found the twins and changed her balls by now.

hahaha, it says HILROY.. it's the paper company
I have actually considered shaving my arms... when your hair is really dark it stands out alot lol....
And I totally have made this sort of list before. Its a "Get into a routine" list. She highlighted the things she finished, I think.
And I LOVE how straight forward she is...
Buy smokes from the twins...
She must be so comfortable with herself
I love this - I'm tired just reading it, but I love it.
the small writing at the bottom says "Hilroy," much like "Mead," etc.
I think the writing on the back actually says "Pick up my mess," not mass.

Webrings were before MySpace, you young whippersnappers. I belonged to several ten years ago. The balls are graphics, I'm sure. Possibly clickable icons.
If you shave your arms doesn't it grow back darker?
I don't know if this was posted but a web-ring is a piercing of the web under your tongue. The part that looks like it connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth... yeah... my friend has one and it's really weird.
haha I love Madame Woo!! And I agree with Rex about the origins/purpose behind this list.
And no offense intended to those who do it, but I think shaving your arms is kinda weird, but maybe I only think that because I am lucky enough not to have hairy beast arms...
It's actually common at my high school for girls to shave their arms, though I never did because the hairs on my arms are blonde and you cant see them a girl once told me I should try it because it would make my arms look smaller.
The dot painting item immediately took me back to the 70's, when our parents, in an attempt to encourage creativity without mess, would give us these coloring book things where the pictures were full of black dots. When we went over the dots with our wet watercolor brushes, color magically appeared! And it didn't even require paint! Or talent! Or creativity! This is but one reason my generation has accomplished nothing.
poor love, she's gonna end up with arms like a monkey. shaving onlynmakes it worse. someone needs to teach her bout waxing.
since when did this person become a girl? i totally say its a guy.
I always keep my arms shaved smooth, even though it's blond and sparse. It just feels better. All of my friends do it too. Maybe it's only popular with us kids in the punk scene, i thought almost everyone did it.
Balls on a web ring i think is referring to a piercing you can get done to the webbing under your tongue. Which i plan on getting :)
If things like "put on socks" are on the list, perhaps "breathe" and "eat" should be on there as well?
When your morning has one more "r" than normal, you'd better make a fuckin' list. It's gonna be a doozy.
Hey, I shave my arms. And yes, it's becoming more common these days.
So... I think that it's just the literal meaning of "shave arms and pits".
i shaved my arms once, in sixth grade, when i first began shaving my legs.
i love writing lists like this one. i make lists a lot, actually. mostly on exciting days, like before you go to homecoming or on vacation. they're just really comforting and make me more excited.
I don't know why, but I got the feeling while reading the list, that the author was a male. I guess the hair straightening thing at the end probably points to the fact that it's a female though. Hmmm. I only shaved my arms once. Maybe her hair is very dark and she's self conscious about it?
I wonder how she dealt with the "several smokers" after she took their money and then didn't buy smokes from the twins?
this made me laugh so fing much! when i was a kid i wrote overly detailed to-do lists just like this.
its just so ridiculous and laughable to put things like "wake up" and "put on socks" on a to-do list. haha.
for somebody who has NOTHING to do, she sure wrote a long list!
Teenagers are so pre-occupied and unorganized sometimes (speaking as the mom of one) this one obviously recognizes that and in preparing for something big doesn't want to spoil the event (teen drama and overreacting) by forgetting something (like socks!). I'm not Canadian, but being aware of the black market cigarette issue there, I think buying smokes from twins is hilarious-perhaps the RCMP got to the little entrepeneurs first!
Some girls shave their arms, not that weird.
