So, who does that leave ...?

It leaves me and my family safely out of Mordor.

. And while we're at it, I say that adults who do not remember how it is to be young can go to Mordor. Albus Dumbledore said once that it is natural for the young not to understand the old, but that the old should never forget how the young act. And I drink to that.

I assign people who use personal grief as an excuse to treat other peple badly to Mordor. Everybody has family members die, and just because this happens it does not mean that they have licence to be angry and abusive towards everybody else.

I would assign men who hit women and parents who abuse their children. The real evil in this world is not orcs or uruk-hai or wargs it's people who ignore what it is to be human and become monsters themselves.

I can't remember where I heard this or the exact quote but it was something about having children is like having your heart walking around outside your body.

Oh, yea, hovering parents, I call them 'helicopter moms'.

I drink to that, too. But Dumbledore never had kids!

Off to Mordor: splinters

I assign to Mordor stereotypers... "teens do this," "parents do this."

I hate being stereotyped.

I, for one, have a very good relationship with my parents, and I can't claim to understand how people really feel when they claim "I hate my mom (or dad)," or are just always complaining about the things they do... the last argument I remember having with my mom was like four years ago.

Also to Mordor goes English classes and both this year's and last year's English teachers. Especially this year's... she's so boring and annoying and over-does the grammar side of things - what *honors class* needs to do some 15 worksheets on just commas before understanding it?

I assign procrastination. I know that it's easier to "just get it done", and I know that it's a huge relief to know that I have all this free time with nothing to worry about, and yet

every

single

time

I can't resist putting things off until the last minute. My Tom Sawyer essay (that I've tried to write for a month, have to have done by morning, and still have to finish) is mouldering on my hard drive, and my Lia Lee essay was only completed two days ago. But I can't help it. I need to break my bad habits.

So I'll just send bad habits to Mordor. And the kind of parent that thinks that you being upset by other people organizing what you've already obsessively organized is a clear sign that you're nervous about leaving for college in the morning. I should have thought it would be obvious that I'm simply obsessive when it comes to packing.

Oh, didn't you know that honors means special? Ah, just kidding

Procrastination is my middle name! My husband is going to put on my tombstone 'I'll do it tomorrow'. After all, why do today what can be done tomorrow!

Oh my, I hope LMP's RPers don't have to strip their characters to pass Mordor Security on the way out! After all, we're supposed to be family friendly.

You know what can go to Mordor?
