What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

My local library, in all its wonder.

Need an obscure book hardly anybody has heard of? Written in 1945? Only one edition printed? No problem, we'll have it at your nearest library in three days.

Walking through the mini-forest in my university in mid-afternoon, when the sun is shining but not too glaringly brightly, and there is no pressure to hurry up because your last class of the day (Calculus) has just ended.

Oh, and my Calculus prof. She's incredibly funny and has lots of wonderful stories to tell. And the term has just begun...

I think I need to resend my library to Mordor. It allows me to withdraw a copy of Utopia (More) from 1869 if I so will it.

I love you, library fair.

To Mordor? Oh dear. That poor library.

I send oil paints. Sure, my hands are the cleanest shade of grayish blue possible, and have been since yesterday because we ran out of paint thinner and no matter how much soap you use, oil paint are stubborn... but that mural... The idea that I started something and finished it is a nice one. From sketch to gridded to painted to detailed, and it looks fantastic.

I assign to the Shire murals and painting and making people smile.

I assign the dessert I had last night. Peach ice cream is really really good drowned in those strawberries that are frozen and come in little plastic tubs.

I assign curling. With nothing better to do (because homework doesn't count), I turned on the television, and what do I see but the Olympics? I've only just decided that it's a blast and a half to watch these men so seriously rub ice with a broom at top speed.

Oh my dear Fea, don't overlook that women are often the best skips at curling and of course are absolute naturals with the broom.

"O Canada", eh Bethberry?

On a related note, I wish to assign all the hardworking, honest young athletes for whom competing in the Olympics is a dream come true, to the Shire. They deserve it there, although I don't think it's a very good venue for the Winter Olympics.

The drug-using, fame-greedy, narcisstic athletes can go to Mordor.
