The same place your wallet goes when you lose it: the last place you left it. Either that or the dryer.

It doesn't go anywhere, it just doesn't announce its presence.

Having had a little experience with this I can tell you.
It goes to hell, and hopefully back.

It goes onto AB until you're ready to reclaim it

It dissipates into nothingness and darker forces seize control of the void. The you that once was, is a distant memory, what once was bright is now very dim and although the face in the mirror remains the same, there's something very different and sinister in the eyes looking back at you and you wonder who it is and where you went.

I lost it in yesteryears. So, maybe it is still back in time.

When you lose your mind, it goes "out where the buses don't run."
by Gonzo on February 9th, 2007
Well, i think it's still there.
It just doesnt do much.
by Firebrand on February 9th, 2007
I think your mind becomes like a black hole and collapses inside itself. Silly way of putting it but mentally sick people live inside their own minds
certainly those with dementia do and they are the ones that lose their mind

When I lost my mind, it was in microwave along with my keys. I found it 2 weeks later when I was about to pop in a popcorn bag for a movie.

I lost my mind in a poker game once.
by Azraff on February 7th, 2007
Well, I had an experience where I thought I would lose my mind, so I just went ahead and lost it and it didn't go anywhere, it can't because it has to stay in your skull.

In the dumps
or
into the vortex that takes everything I loose.
by Sociopathetic on March 27th, 2007
To lose my mind is to lose myself.
Lately, there's been so much gaining on me, that I'm losing my mind; I'm so caught up in everything, and there are certain issues that are causing me to feel like I'm losing my sense of self, my mind in general. Some days I'm fine. Others, it feels like I'm losing my mind, completely. And nobody cares.
Who knows where it goes.
I think it just turns off, or goes to sleep. It recharges its batteries.
by viki4ever on May 2nd, 2007
To lose one's mind I would assume is metaphorical. That is, 'losing' in this sense does not mean losing it like one loses a pen,
So then, I would say that it doesn't go anywhere. What probably happens is that the person loses the unity of his self as well as feeling an agent of his actions.
I am sure there is more to it than this.

Yeah, but where do those socks go when you put 2 in the dryer and only one comes out?

They're transported to space through a portal. How else do you explain static cling? Don't tell me it's friction, friction is a lie. All static cling is is radioactive space fibers.

Satine, it's obvious to me that you have your finger on the pulse of the universe <grin>. I mean, if there is such a thing.
by Jodie44 on February 9th, 2007
Huh? I have my finger on the pulse of the universe? I'm sorry, but it's been awhile since I've slept, I'm going to need these things to be explained.
by travis bickle on February 9th, 2007
Ahhh. No worries. I'm familiar with that lack-of-sleep thing myself. To describe someone as having his/her finger on the pulse of something means that person knows what's going on, up to the minute. It's a little ironic that you asked me for an explanation, isn't it? On a different note, I'm so glad you're here. I really mean that.
by Jodie44 on February 9th, 2007
Well, when it comes right down to it I'm a bit stupid, if you haven't already figured that out. It's the Jessica Simpson, I don't know what is obvious to everyone else, kind of stupid. Only I don't get paid for, it like she does, so it's not much fun.
by travis bickle on February 9th, 2007
<scratches head and looks puzzled> Satine, in all this time, I can honestly say I have never once thought of you as "a bit stupid". Not once. You are creative, and "intelligent" is written all over you. You're wearing some kind of funky blinders, chick. No BS. You really are. Smart AND apparently blind to it:)
by Jodie44 on February 9th, 2007
Maybe in my own special way I'm smart, but everything I wrote above is true.
by travis bickle on February 9th, 2007
Not everything. How smart do you think I am?
by Jodie44 on February 9th, 2007
The kind of smart that almost intimidates me. That's pretty smart I'd say.
by travis bickle on February 9th, 2007
Then...maybe, just maybe, you shouldn't argue with me when I tell you I think you're pretty damn smart yourself <grin>. You do know that was a loaded quuestion, don't you? You could hardly say, "Jodie, I think you're an idiot." Just so you know, a lot of my smarts have come from my vast and storied experiences at f**king up and dealing with the consequences. On pure IQ, I'm sure you're every bit as brainy as most of the people on here, and easily smarter than I am. I know how to write well, which can give people the impression I've got more gray matter than I actually do. I can write well because I work at it. Practice, practice, practice. You could do the same thing, you know. You already show a boatload of talent. I'm serious.
by Jodie44 on February 9th, 2007
I'm bad with compliments, so thanks. I don't know though, truth is I'm just slow. But I'm OK with it.
by travis bickle on February 9th, 2007
Being "slow" is related to temperament as much as anything. It takes me a long time to "get" stuff, too. Everyone else gets a joke, and then someone has to explain it to me. You're plenty smart. More important, you have a good and kind heart:)
by Jodie44 on February 9th, 2007
Everyone is smart in different ways. I'm going to be an egotistical ass and assume that you think I'm smart ;) I will readily admit that while I can write well, am a pretty good computer geek, and I do a mean cross stitch, I am a complete mathtard. Just because I can't do some things well doesn't reflect on me as a whole. Just because you don't catch things the first time around, that doesn't mean you're stupid. I have seen enough witty, creative, interesting things come out of you to know that you are no one trick pony, my dear.
by Darkling on February 9th, 2007
Well, thanks, and again, not good with the compliments. I just like to beat myself down a lot.
by travis bickle on February 10th, 2007
No need for that. Let's beat up on Darkling's math skills <grin> Or lack of. I can start the party.
by Jodie44 on February 10th, 2007
I'm not good with compliments either. Now, insults, I can handle. Bring 'em on! I'll be all over you like 7 on 9!
by Darkling on February 11th, 2007
Well...there was that time I told you I felt like an idiotic horse's ass after I upbraided a guy for telling us he measured his countertops at 7 ft, but my measurement was 84 inches - and you didn't get it. I have a few others.
