Call me crazy, but French A level belongs firmly in the Shire. So rewarding, so beautiful, so how learning French should be.
And Aldous Huxley's corpse should definitely be somewhere in the Shire. Pala is perhaps more Shirelike than the Shire itself. |

People who, when you encourage them to read a good book, do it, and find it as fascinating as you had hoped they would. They can relax in the Shire with said good book.

People who say you did fine when you know you messed up belong in the Shire.

Ice cream, especially when shared with wonderful people.
Friends who care about your self esteem and are even more hopeful that things will work out well for you than you are. Robot costumes, even ones that people need help getting in and out of. Especially if they involve little whirring fans and flashing lights. In fact, I'll just assign robots in general. Long weekends.

needing a little pick-me-up...
I believe whole-heartedly that the color blue should go to the Shire. Not just any blue, but every blue. The blue of the sky on a fall afternoon, when the failing sun saturates the shade with unreplicable brilliance... The blue of the early morning, before the sun rises, and the only real illumination is the stars... when that blue, so nearly black, is visable in the pre-dawn sky, and you can't help but shiver at the cold air of a day not yet come, but you await the sunrise eagerly, because when that blue is in the sky, you know that day shall come again. You know that anything is possible, and that all it takes is a little more patience, and miracles can happen. When that blue is in the sky, you know that a sunrise is near.
The blue of the ocean on a cold and windy day, when the waves are capped with white, and you can't see beneath the surface... that is the blue of fear. You cannot tell what lies in wait beneath the chaotic organization of one wave at a time... and yet you can't help but wonder, and imagine. You place your trust in whichever boat, or plane, or anything, that you are held by, and you hold your breath and you wonder. And when the whales break the surface, and you gasp in awe... that is the blue of amazement. And my favorite color isn't even blue... I prefer green. ![]() |

I send to The Shire the taste of a really good pint. I don't drink, and the last time I had one was August, but I had one yesterday (Theakstons) and it was very, very nice indeed. Cool and hoppy and fruity.

Polar fleece, because it's just so wonderfully warm and soft and fuzzy.
Those moments when everything just suddenly makes sense and you truly see how just a bunch of disjointed events or ideas are all connected and interwoven into a whole. Doughnuts. I'm not talking about those icky shortening-laden store-bought ones covered with icing that's just pure sugar with a little water added, I mean little homemade deep fried ones with either powdered sugar on top, or real custard in the middle (not 'creme'). Having those only a couple of times a year is more enjoyable than store doughnuts every week, and probably better for you in the long run (despite all that grease and sugar.) ![]()
