What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Brinniel · 04-12-2007, 11:56 PM

-The fact that at my college one cannot receive more than three unexcused absences or you will fail. (And yes, being sick does count as unexcused...I think the only time absences are excused are for religious reasons or if you are hospitalized or something like that.)

-The confusing process of getting a visa. Apparently, I'm going to need one for next year, but I don't really understand anything about getting one. At least, I'll have another month or so to figure this out. Still...garr...

-Oh yes...and PMS. I think most females will feel the same way on this one...

BTW Rune- there's no need to be touchy about typos. It add charm to your character.

Oh, thanks for saying that aloud, Esty! Because now I realised I write it every time!

(Even though I'm aware of that "rule".) I don't do it to be nasty of course, or to point fingers at people, or not even to point out who said it, but because I'm used to mention who I quote so it kind of comes automatically. But now that I've realised it I can leave it out in future.

Hmmm... they say you learn something new every day!

And now I assign the awareness of the Chat Swerl approaching at a monstrous speed!

I assign messing up with giving reputations...

Brinniel · 04-13-2007, 12:05 PM

I assign telemarketers. Especially the people who call your cell phone of all things.

Example:

*phone rings. I answer*

me: (not sure who it is) Hello?

telemarketer: (cheerfully) Hi! Do you currently own a Visa card?

me: mmm...yeah...

telemarketer: Well, I wanted to let you know you are eligible for a sweepstakes to win a free weekend get-away and other prizes worth up to $20,000. All you have to do is-

me: (irritated) Yeah, well I'm not interested.

telemarketer: Wait...you haven't even heard me out yet! I-

me: I said no!

*call ends*

So yeah, I know it's your job and all to annoy people, but that doesn't mean I can't assign you to Mordor....so take that!

Please, friends, do consider using Private Messages when and if your thoughts are directed to one individual. Wouldn't want the nasssssty chat skwerl to get ya.

Assignment: James Bond simply is not supposed to fall in love. Meh. I care not how smart and alluring the femme is. Granted, one of the better movies but ... meh. Yes, I still enjoyed the flick.

Doing something weird to your knee so that whenever it bends in a certain direction, or even sometimes for no reason at all, you feel a sudden sharp pain that really hurts!

Oh, and losing your hairband when you could really do with having it.

Hey, I watched that today!

I'll assign... um... when I sneak a sweet to my little cousin after her mom says no and then, as soon as she finishes eating, she tells her mom I did it.

I can think of 3816 miles/6140 kilometers I would like to assign to Mordor.
