Oh, definitely! I love reading. That reminds me, I need to get to a library soon.

I assign getting to meet an author you are a fan of and have him sign the book he wrote. The other half of this will be assigned to mordor. Try and piece them together.

While there are many complaints I have about my college, I do have to assign the wonderful opportunities that the school has to offer. We get a lot of guest speakers and such, but silly me, I didn't take advantage of it my first three years, perhaps partly because many opportunities I wasn't interested in, though mostly it was availability conflicts. But finally I'm going out of my way to take advantage of these events. Today I attended an informal talk with Jason Reitman (director of Juno and Thank You For Smoking) which was very interesting. A couple weeks ago, some of the cast and the director from Boondock Saints came to talk and promote their sequel. A month ago I attended the New Hampshire Film Festival, shamefully my first film fest, and it was quite the experience. It makes me wish I took advantage of these things earlier.

And it sort of makes up for my failing miserably at getting involved with student organisations, which all seem to involve either auditions I can't get into or time commitments that I can't commit to. Not to mention, being the quiet person I am, it's much harder to get involved with these things after freshman year since cliques have already formed. *hates clubs because they're cliquey*

I assign getting a fabulously new computer.

Thinlómien · 11-11-2009, 02:02 PM

I can second the assignation of reading. Although, currently I should be reading Dante's Inferno and the Finnish translation is rather painful to read... But fortunately I'm reading fabulous Le Guin too and that's not painful at all...

I also assign the Middle Ages. I was just wondering today what could I do when I grow up if I studied Art History, Litearature and a subject called Medieval Studies... mmm...

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-22-2009, 07:00 PM

Crayola. I would be their spokesperson in a heartbeat.

Loslote · 11-22-2009, 08:24 PM

I assign planning committees for - and I'm not making this up - "the Fall Retreat, which will take place in February." The official-sounding language was most amusing.

Hakon · 11-22-2009, 08:48 PM

I assign fictional worlds that help make your homework fun. We had the assignment to write a war poem for English, we are looking at World War II lately. I have been trying to write some minor poems about some battles in a fictional world I came up with and I changed one around a bit and finished my homework. It was so fun. Yay for creative like assignments in English class.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-22-2009, 11:52 PM

Apple computers.

Does your computer know how to tell knock knock jokes? Because mine does.

Hakon · 11-23-2009, 02:13 PM

How does it do that? I have an apple computer but mine cannot tell knock knock jokes.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 11-23-2009, 03:59 PM

Under System Preferences, click Speech. Make sure 'Speakable Items' is on. Hold down 'ESC' and say, "Tell me a joke." Enjoy.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 12-08-2009, 09:33 AM

Custom jewelry.

After two years of searching, I finally have the exact necklace I was looking for. You know how? Because I made it myself. And it's awesome.

The end.

Loslote · 12-12-2009, 08:16 PM

I assign spending over two hours making up a diary with my mom and little sister. The first section is the diary of a kinder-gardener, but the book morphs into a notebook where she writes random stuff. It's for a White Elephant gift exchange. The other gifts we're bringing are a white elephant (literalness is always fun) and a Seseme Street picture book.

Hakon · 12-12-2009, 11:42 PM

I assign my new fictional world. I have now created 4 of them and each is unique. I am so proud. I also assign my new video game Assassin's Creed 2. I love it, very fun but it is very hard for me to choose between playing the game or reading the great book I am reading.

Lindale · 12-13-2009, 11:23 AM

I assign our Cadet's Ball tonight: my long-distance boyfriend came down to go with me, I got to wear a very pretty dress with very pretty shoes, and I got to dance and chat with our usually-aloof and detached (and gorgeous) cadet officers. It's not something that happens everyday--especially the first and third.
