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

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.

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.

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.

Not as much as in the Fell Winter or Helcaraxë, but we don't get much snow here so we try enjoy every minute of it! (Whereas I suppose to the Finns and Alaskans, it's nothing special).

It's not stopped snowing here for over three days now. We have to go shovel every few hours or risk being isolated from the road system. Alaska has no real road maintenance program, so if you do manage to make it to the roads, there's no guarantee you'll stay on them for long. We've gotten over 86 inches of snow in some places. I like rain better.

Using all your letters at once in Scrabble. With a 'q.' On a double word score.

What was the word?

Thick squishy plush wool socks. Dogs that get visibly embarrassed when you manage to ninja your way into the house without them noticing. Having a job you like with coworkers that like you. Remembering why you were in love with someone, even if you don't love them any more. Sweet potatoes. Cheesy broccoli. Generous people.

Good days.
