so the most amazing thing just happened:
Paul Pearl comes down to our hall looking for his lab partner or something. He sits down and chats with me and Jordan for a while, until he remembers looks up and notices my suitcase on top of our cabinet:

Paul: Hey remember that time I borrowed your suitcase?
me: No.
Paul: Well, I did. Can I borrow it again?
me: umm...sure. I'm not going to use it over break.
Paul: *tries to reach to the top of the cabinet*
me: *standing on a chair* Let me get out my stuffing first.
Paul: You have stuffing?
me: *pulling out bags of packing peanuts* Yeah, for shipping packages.
Paul: *sarcasticly* You ship packages?
me: Well, no...not yet.
Paul: You're planning to ship packages?
me: *still pulling out all of the packing peanuts* Well, no...
Paul: hmm.
me: *checking the pockets for anything of value* This pocket doesn't zip up, but the rest are good.
Paul: Thanks.
me: Sure, just bring it back.
Paul: What about this?
me: *as my jaw hits the floor* Where did you find that?
Paul: *holding the headlamp that Jordan and I thought we lost nearly six months ago* ...in the bag.
Jordan: Are you serious?
Paul: *giggles hysterically*

so, I guess the one that we found wasn't actually the one that we lost 6 months ago (which I figure has been picked up by some Appalatian Trail hiker long ago), it was probably the replacement that I bought at Christmas but lost while JustinBarry and Gretchen were visiting...when I was supposed to give it to Justin. Now both of the replacements are in my possession, and that means I can give one to Gretchen to give to JustinBarry, and keep the other Aurora for myself. YAAAY! I guess I did want to buy a new lamp. well, I'm glad that worked out, even if it was really strange and irritating that we lost the replacement while we were supposed to be handing it over to its rightful owner.

question:
so...if you get a ticket in another state...let's say West Virginia, but go to college in PA and live in NJ, do you have to pay the ticket? Can they not do anything about it if you stay out of their jurisdiction? I have to relay this information back to Austin, because he got 2 tickets within half an hour while driving through WV.
