I want my snow already! Though now that I've said it, I'm sure it won't snow heavily until December 18 (the day I fly home for Christmas) and then I'll somehow end up getting stuck in a random airport. That's how it usually happens... ![]()

Yes, yes... the rest of you can definitely take the snow, if it means Edmonton can keep missing out. While there's perhapsa tiny little seed of nostalgia in me that would like to see some white stuff, the rest of me overwhelmingly assigns this brown Fall to the Shire (where, after all, snow is apparently rather rare). Not only has it meant that I have had the first semester of my life no slipping and sliding dangerously as my 20 minute commute becomes 40, but it has also meant that our construction project has managed to recoup the five weeks lost by the late groundbreaking in the spring--and this is hugely important, since there is no viable Plan B for me to live anywhere else next fall if that residence isn't built.
So, as far as Edmonton goes, keep the lack of snow coming! ![]()

I assign this website for helping little kids trying to learn German! Taught me a lot more than my current professor.

Why do weather assignations always bring so much discussion?
![]() Now, I would like to assign two things. Firstly, finding creative ways of studying. For example, it is far nicer to learn French from the French translation of LotR than from the utterly dry and rather confusing grammar book I have. Secondly, I would like to assign Kent's album Tillbaka till samtiden, I've been listening to it all the time for the last couple of days and I've not got bored yet. It's great!

I would like to assign such mundane but oh so appreciated things such as automatic dishwashers, plastic wrap, tupperware containers, tin foil, and whipped cream.

I assign Barrow-Downish dreams to the Shire (I wonder how the Hobbits are going to cope), and possibly also general feeling of happiness and RPGs, when they are going well.
And old songs bringing back old feelings which motivate you in some way. Oh, and old members coming back ![]()

Knowing good friends so well and for so long that you don't really have to say much to communicate. You get conversations like:
"Hey, remember when-" "Yeah! Hahaha, that was amazing!" ![]() I like not having to finish sentences. Hate the snow though. I forgot how wet and sticky lake effect is.

I assign poorly thought out sales which mean that instead of paying £19.98 for two items, you pick up a third item and end up paying 51p less than you would have done for just 2 items. Yeah, and following on, I assign how they have people who are less than accounting geniuses working in marketing departments, mua-ha-ha. And finally. I assign feeling smug.

How about toilets? I don't think I'd get along very well without one...

I assign when the cat gets in bed with you, which helps you sleep, though of course the cat does not intend that, oh no, the cat merely intends to get a nice comfy place to sleep and probably eat your soul or something. But all the same, it's like having an uber-furry hot water bottle with you
