What do you assign to Orthanc?

[Thinlómien]

Semi-accidentally staying up too late. I always do it, and it's not nice because then the first half of the next day is spent sleeping, but I actually enjoy this and feel probably most creative at night, so no can do... and no, it's not more than 4am here yet, but I'm toying with the idea of writing to some RPG instead of going to sleep...

Same here, except I don't regret staying up late. It's so much fun when your brain seems to function to it's uttermost limits.


Family reunions! It's so much fun to get together after so long of not seeing everyone, but you always have that one aunt, or uncle, that gets on everyones nerves (especially when you're together in the same house for a week). They always pull some prank that use to get their siblings mad when they were young, and then thing start going downhill from there!

Same here. I love working at night. Usually during the afternoons I take long naps, which last until eight inthe evening, and from then on until five in the morning I'd be reading or working on a paper. Sometimes, I take my nap in the public transport on the way to the campus, and I miss my stop, which annoys the hell out of me. But then I couldn't sleep in my first class during Tuesdays and Thursdays, lest the professor metamorph into some hideous cross of a Balrog and an Uruk Hai and send me out of the classroom. Then again, nobody could sleep in his class anyway, given his darling disposition...

Another thing: gaia online. My, I think without it I would spend only a quarter of what I normally do in front of the PC--papers and reading online texts included. Damn that Fishing!

And I thought of something else. JRR Tolkien. I just couldn't resist rereading at the wrongest moments, like before exams. Beren and Luthien in particular. T_T

Well I was in Cornwall for the last week and it always rains there (It's August!).

That can go here too.

When you take an instant, completely irrational dislike to a new acquaintance... and later it turns out you were right.

I will assign to Orthanc the beginning of school after 2½ months of holidays...

It's great to be on vacation when you do not need to pay heed to the clock or any "civilised rhythm" of the society around you, but in the end it wears you down indeed, and it's nice to meet the students and colleagues after a long while for they are dear to me. But waking up at six o'clock is just impossible after you have woken up at midday the earliest for the last months... ... even if I can see it will do me good to get myself organised after the lazy summer...

I really love to hate it and hate to love it.

Ditto. I haven't had a legitimate class since early April, and that was finals week. So really, it's been since March... The idea of sitting still for the duration of my classes is freaking me out a little.

.

I would say it didn't when I went there as child but I know it did - one year in particular we drove for about an hour to the nearest leisure centre which was about the only thing under cover. And I remember watching the rain drops trickling down the car windows which were steamed up from hot cornish pasties. But I also remember loving it and I can't wait to go back. So Cornwall can't go to Orthanc.
