I have an innate ability to find missing objects. This is usually referred to among family and friends as locate object, as per the D&D spell. I think it's a combination of very good peripheral vision (despite the glasses), excellent pattern matching, and a memory that will, sooner or later, dredge up everything it's ever encountered*. Sometimes, however, I have to shove it to make it work, and this tires me more than anything else I know of, up to and including channeling. It works, though.

* This sometimes leads to me saying "Never heard of it", and then being an authority on the subject ten minutes later, because my memory has had time to spin up.

Y'know, it's only due to [livejournal.com profile] dlscanlon that I get that at all.

*considers*

Could do worse, as nicknames go.

It's impossible to get here, y'see. I know every second hand bookshop in South Dublin, and a good few more in North and across the country, and I have never, ever seen a Borderland book here, except the ones I was sent from the US by the aforementioned [livejournal.com profile] dlscanlon. I have no idea why this is.

well, they're not that easy to find here either anymore. I got all of mine from online used book places like Powells and ABEbooks.

They're pretty darn hard to find in the US, too. Most of the anthologies are out of print, which makes finding them even harder.

I keep losing mine when I move. :-(

Wow. You're my mother. She always says that she has to mercifully euthanise us all before she dies because we'd be pathetically lost without her to answer our 'where?' questions.

*checks*

No. I am not your mother.

Re: Jovial, but not kidding


The Akashic concept keeps popping itself up in front of me these days.

hey, me too!

i find it works best if triggered indirectly. if somebody asks, "hey, where's the thing?" i don't know, but if they say, "where should i look first if i wanted to find a thing?" i usually tell them exactly where it is.

this is especially good because my husband can't even find things that are in plain sight. it's the purloined letter with every single object in the apartment.

Been there, done that, sometimes it does a flash instead of just knowing and it's kinda disorientating.

Sometimes I know stuff I shouldn't, which can be cool... particularly in my job.
