Greetings everyone,

Where I come from, I'm renowned for my bad 
memory and tendency to misplace stuff.  I get 
used to it.  I make backups of most of my stuff 
or leave notes to remind myself of stuff.

But this just...blows me away.

I was recently working on my site, updating the 
cels, redesigning the general look, and adding 
descriptions.  Finally, I got to a Krillin cel 
in my DBZ section.  I started thumbing through 
my cel book to find the cel number and other 
information.  I go through the entire thing, 
only to come the last page and realize that I 
had just gone through the entire thing and 
had not found it.

A mistake, thought.  Surely, I would not be so 
stupid as to lose something as precious as a 
cel, right?  Thumb through again, searching 
underneath other cels and backgrounds.  No such 
luck.

Now I'm worried.  I go through the bags in which 
I keep my sketches (for safety reasons), 
thinking that maybe I just misplaced it and left 
it in the bag.  But...nothing.

Now, for a moment, I thought that maybe I had 
been mistaken and not bought that.  It was a 
bulk order from a buddy of mine, and perhaps my 
memory was just playing tricks on me.  But - lo 
and behold - I have the sketch.

So now I'm sitting here, at my computer, staring 
at the image I have on my drive, and I can't 
help but wonder what kind of idiot I am.

Lest I forget, how about the fate of this 
unlucky cel?  My best guess is that it's tucked 
under papers somewhere and I just misplaced it.  
The worst guess is that I accidentally threw it 
out with the box I received it in.  The latter 
seems illogical, seeing as how I had taken the 
time to already separate sketch and cel and 
place them in a book, not to mention my tendency 
to check and recheck boxes 3-4 times before 
disposing of them.

My one relief is that it was a cheap cel, 
nothing really expensive, not even $30.  I 
suppose if I had to lose one it's best that it 
was this one.

But still...it's lost.  I lost a cel.  
*slaps forehead*  ARGH!

Is there anyone out there whose done this 
before?  Or have I really discovered a new kind 
of stupid?

Oh, and by the way, here's the unlucky bugger:
