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

Aganzir · 02-18-2008, 02:10 PM

The climatic change. January was 4 degrees (celsius) warmer than average this year, and there has been practically no snow at all. And I have been thinking that the last few winters were somewhat warm! I want the proper winter back.

Another thing that Mordor needs is my friend's dog of which I promised to take care while my friend is on a trip. Even though she barks and whines all the time, plays with annoying squeaking toys, wants to go out in the middle of the night and constantly teases my own dog, I guess I'd manage with it.
But - it seemingly didn't matter to my friend that she has inflammation of the eye at the moment, and it's so very very nice to notice she has infected my dog now. That means I must take my dog to the vet's tomorrow (which isn't cheap either), and therefore I won't probably have time to see a friend I haven't seen in ages.
Needless to say, I'm pretty, ah, annoyed. I guess I should be angry with the friend rather than the dog, who is sleeping on my bed and looking cute, though.

Parcels that cost very nearly as much to send as the contents did to buy.
Being so full of static electricity that not only do you shock yourself on every metal surface but your key sparks when you go to lock your car!!! ~I haven't had a static problem for years - since the nasty nylon carpet at work has been a constant for a few months now I can only assume it is related to having washed my hair twice yesterday and using a this special hair masque to stop the chlorine at the swimming pool turning my hair green...

Oooh, seconded. Or worse, Fed-Ex that charges $37 to mail a $5 card, if you don't want it to take two weeks...

Random fools who flip you off while stopped at a red light for no reason.

The sidewalks I had to use to get to class. Maybe the inch thick sheet of ice will melt in Mordor.

Seconded.

I could also assign disturbing nightmares. I dreamed about a huge red goldfish that was dying and I tried to save it, but I couldn't and it was a rather disgustingly detailed dream. Then, I woke up and for a fraction of a second the red rose pattern in my sheets looked a bit too much like a dead goldfish. It was rather unpleasant.

This is no winter. There was some more complex cover of snow that remained on the ground for no more than two or three days this year.

Wow... this is the first time I assign something to Mordor. This one deserves it, though.

And this is simply unfair. We should make a change-trade with some people around here.
