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

Thinlómien · 01-31-2008, 09:40 AM

So, I assign:

- Acting. Those rare moments you feel you're doing it well are just awesome.
- Finding you have skills you didn't think you have. Like, for example, being able to change clothes very quickly.
- Contact lenses. They make life easier.
- Not being hungry even though you probably should be. Simply because being hungry is unpleasant.
- Laughing. Because it's just fun.

Laughing should be counted as a life skill, in fact someone could probably teach a class on how to laugh! I laugh and giggle a lot.

My first friend ever, with whom I thought I had lost contacts, suddenly sending me an e-mail - what could be greater than that?

Peaceful evenings and my favorite Oak tree.

Clear winter nights when the world is dark and the stars are shining bright. Cold it may be, but beautiful.

I will second that without going into a "Campaign for dark skies" rant...

I assign finally getting a problem resolved and the hope of a little lie in tomorrow..... or at least a hour with coffee and the paper before having to be more productive

I assign the very fun day I've just had and the brilliance that is Stomp! I saw it years ago but forgot just how enjoyable it really was.

All very definitely seconded!!

I also assign accidental discoveries. I found something really awesome last night that I hope I get to do with my summer, completely accidentally, while trying to find a school to transfer to next year.

YAY!

Victory!

Finishing an essay! Who says pressure is bad for you?

Thinlómien · 02-19-2008, 07:11 AM

Holidays. Sleeping. Chocolate. Writing. The Sims. Good company.
