Maybe I could send the sender/s to the Shire as well.

Ooh, that could be a whole new kind of fun, if you know what I mean (coughassignedtotheShirerpgcough) and you can bet Pio would have a fit.

disclaimer: not serious about this one... sorry.

Assigned to the Shire RPG, eh?

That's an interesting idea, although I doubt many would share my opinion. Apparently most people find it easier to send things to Mordor than to the Shire...

That tells me the RPG probably won't have enough to go on.

To be on topic, I assign lazy, I-have-nothing-much-to-do afternoons - even though one actually has an Archaeology quiz, an entire epic on the land of Troy, and a Greek tragedy with a woman's name as a title to worry about.

I assign those qualities in me that make it so incredibly easy to procrastinate. You see, why would I stop when I'm able to ace projects last minute? I wrote a paper last night... fifteen pages. For Psych. One inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman, with absolutely no toying with character spacing or making the line spacing a discreet 2.2 instead of just double. It's straight writing. If I can do that in one afternoon and still get around six hours of sleep that night... I'm somewhat proud of myself. I'd have been more proud if I'd done the assignment a month ago, but that's something for Mordor, and I'm assigning my good and useful abilities, not my absent-minded lack of enthusiasm for connecting what we've learned all term to my life.

I also assign plot twists, anakronisms, and the phantom because he's able to amuse me in the wee hours of the morning when I'm stressed out, exhausted, and just discovered a hilarious PM about emo-MEN.

EDIT: I also assign what it feels like to be on your way to Psych and to be stopped about half-way there by a half dozen classmates saying that class has been cancelled!

In line with that, I assign to the Shire seeing a post on the door of your Archaeology lecture room that says class has been cancelled, and your quiz on Philippine geography - which you have not studied for despite your great need to - has been moved to the end of the week!

And I assign to the Shire the wonderful weather we're having here. It's cool, cloudy, a bit windy, and barely sunny. It almost makes one believe that Christmas break has begun, even if it's still a week away. It's perfect...as long as it doesn't start raining.

Neighbors who plow your street when it snows, even when the dumb city won't. I don't even know who it was, but I saw someone in a truck that definitely did not belong to the city with a plow on it the other day, and lo and behold, when I got home they had plowed my street! Generous people are wonderful.

My Chem lab instructor, for giving back my quiz paper with TWO smilies written on it. One said "Yay!

" to congratulate me on my success in balancing a particularly difficult chemical equation. The other said "Ngek!

" pertaining to the joke I gave as an answer to the bonus question.

The smilies had me scared a bit, but mostly they made me laugh.

Oh, and I assign redox reactions. They are just sooo fun.

I assign walking out of a History final, knowing that you pwned the essay question that counted for 50% of the test (no exageration) and professors that encourage debate, discussion, and the expression of your opinion to the point that you can declare that you hate the subject (Business) and think it's the most boring thing in the world, but the class was fun all the same.
