the guy who be short has just left Hobbiton.
I too must speak out in defense of the number e. Whilst it is annoying and difficult to learn how to integrate it and differentiate it, I'm sure it is very useful...

Come on! There must be some use for it!

Ok, maybe not.


I assign being given stupid amounts of work when we should be revising.

Also, the fact that only one person came uninvited to my chess club today.

I assign making such a nice and useful letter as "e" into a number.

I also assign getting a CD from the library but opening the case at home to see that the wrong CD is inside. I wanted Pachelbel -- if I wanted performances of Scarlatti on classical guitar, that's what I would have looked for. *pout*

I assign to Mordor the fact that the stool I sit on while at my computer has lost a few screws and a rung, turning any visit to the Barrow-downs into a perilous balancing act.

I also assign the awful banners my school has hung everywhere declaring such overused statements as "Best students, best teachers, best school!", and even "Believe in yourself!", and in bright neon colors to boot.

I love you, Jenny, but I think you'll make a good cameo for ATM2. (Not that I have any authority with regards to that matter...)

Ugh. Don't get me started.

I assign the blasted cost of plane tickets. This is a girl that has a deep-rooted need to travel this summer and is very put out at how pricey it's going to be.

I assign shopping trips that end up in crying dressing-room confessionals, not to mention drawn-out battles between yourself and your body.

I assign racks of beautiful clothes that don't fit, the gap between the second two buttons in every blouse in the store, and the lines the best you can find leave on your skin.

I assign the thickness of my ankles and the roundness of my face. I assign the salads that don't help and the pastas that my husband loves. I assign my bad left knee and my bad right ankle. I assign the out-of-breath wheezing at the top of a small hill. I assign my image in the mirror and my bathroom scale.

What is it about women that no matter how we look to others, we can so rarely look in the mirror and see someone beautiful? My husband tells me I'm gorgeous and desirable, but I look at myself and don't believe him. My daddy blamed the pill, and mentioned that my mother looked just like that when she was pregnant. I'm not pregnant.


I assign the fact that my mother and father return to Indiana today. I love it down here, I think most of you know that. But sometimes...sometimes I just want to go home and be near my family. Today I want to go home.

Vertigo. I was carrying a load of heavy bags into the bus station lastnight and vertigo hit me like a truck sending me staggering into one of the barriers which I had to cling onto until davem rescued me and the customer service people got us a taxi. Then I slept 12 hours solid and have been unable to raise my head from a prone position for much longer than about 20 minutes all day long, and have spent all day lying on the settee watching rubbish on telly. On top of that I have constant nausea, a headache and a stiff neck. Probably all from carrying two litres of Ribena in my rucksack until my shoulder blades felt like they were going to come apart.
