I'd love to go to Ireland. Thanks for the idea, Aganzir! I'll try it!

Only problem with visiting Ireland (and I have an "Easter Rebellion" surname) is that it is the only place I have been to that was wetter than England... the only time I have been in a plane and it has skidded on landing.. and then becuase I had gone to a friend's ordination into the Church of Ireland I had a very "Father Ted" experience...

I hate that you want to sleep any day you have to wake up early, and can't sleep when you can sleep in...

I've read too much of Gone With the Wind and Scarlett to believe anything bad about Ireland...


ncidentally, I'd like to send to Mordor people who are overly passionate about political correctness, racism, and pretty much any other thing like that. I'm not saying that racism is ok, but you have to admit that, however equally you respect (or not) people, they are still different, and you're not going to make them any more the same. I get aggrevated by extremist anti-racists, anti-sexists, environmentalists, and -- you know, all these "popular causes". It's now what they do but how they do it.

I assign people who don't ahve the common decency to LEAVE YOUR BEDROOM when they have gas. Yeah, it's a natural bodily function and all that, but I seriously don't need my carpet, curtains, bedclothes, and clothes smelling like your @$$!

This...this reminds me of something I meant to assign to Mordor a couple months ago.

One morning I woke up to a message that put me in a sour mood, because it was a "Here is how boys behave, and here is how Men should behave," with a conclusion that no "men" will do this, and therefor, we are all boys and suck. It was insane and if anyone is dying of curiosity for the full story, shoot me a message and I'll forward the story.

Anyway, what I'm assigning to Mordor is the expectation males need to be the "disney prince" by always being their knight-in-shining armor/rescue the pretty damsel in distress. It's asinine disney-movie plot for a reason, because it's not real and completely unhealthy. Guys are humans too, if you want a solid one, be a confident and self-dependent lady. Then you'll have no problems finding the guy who will always be there to support and love you for your decisions as an equal. Not one who has an unhealthy rescuer complex which sets up just a different form of a screwy possessive relationship.

*ahem* I'm good. I promise, just remembered this from a couple months ago.

I misread this as "better than England," and for a second my thoughts went like "Wait, I didn't know Mith was that patriotic...?"

I think they'll only be my type of males after spending some time in Mordor...

And since I'm here, I could as well assign the irritating and persistent cough that's been bothering me for over two weeks now.

That sucks, Aganzir.

I assign allergy medicine that makes you drowsy, and cats that shed all over your clothes.

Actually, I take back that last comment. I love my kitties too much to send them to Mordor.

Decisions. Decisions. Did I mention decisions? Oh, and decisions too.

Every time I make an important decision I feel like crying afterwards because I've clearly made the wrong choice - even though it usually turns out ok and I know the latest one will be ok too. Really, sometimes I wish I lived in one of those dystopian novels* where there is some sort of committee/government that makes all the decisions for the people. Would make my life so much easier.


*not very seriously, though. Only when yet another decision makes me really depressed.

Haha. Frankly, if I met a Disney kind of guy, I would run away and name him a stalker. I despise the 'knight-in-armour' idea, because it's so patronising to women. So, we can't be our own helpers? Oh, joy. Why can't there just be a relationship based on mutual respect?
