Groin Redbeard · 01-24-2008, 01:51 PM

Cowboys and horses!

Hmm...
shutters, big, fluffy square pillows, salami and cheese for breakfast, mineral water, dim streetlights that let you see the stars, brick pedestrian streets, magpies, 500 year old houses, real castles and my future in-laws get assigned to the Shire.

According to your description, Rikae, I'm already there!

Being appreciated - always nice but even better when it comes from an unexpected source.

They'd love it. The hobbits could teach the cowboys to play golf, and the cowboys can teach the hobbits how to ride horses. Then they can play their first game of Polo!

Succeeding in learning a ridiculous amount of choreography in a tiny amount of time, especially considering my (lack of) dancing skills.

The simple option of sleeping late tomrrow.

That's a bliss after a few weeks of rushed scheduals...

I couldn't agree more!

Oh yes! After going to bed at twelve O'clock midnight and waknig up at 5:30 in the morning for three weeks, I'm pretty content with waking up late!

Another reputation point to Nogrod. I do love my bed, although why you would assign it to the Shire instead of your room I'll never know.

So, I assign:

- Acting. Those rare moments you feel you're doing it well are just awesome.
- Finding you have skills you didn't think you have. Like, for example, being able to change clothes very quickly.
- Contact lenses. They make life easier.
- Not being hungry even though you probably should be. Simply because being hungry is unpleasant.
- Laughing. Because it's just fun.
