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

Lalwendë · 01-07-2009, 06:30 AM

I assign vacuous, gossipping office heifers to Mordor. Some horrid woman just came round to gossip with a new colleague and started to talk about something offensive so she suddenly started to whisper - like I am DEAF?!

I want to burn myself in Mount Doom for even thinking this, but I was annoyed like I've never been (at school at least) when three idiot second years started discussing the Gaza crisis--and related it to the Bible, which they must not have read in full. They asked why God allowed his 'chosen people' to do those horrid things at Gaza, discussed the ten plagues of Egypt, why the Palestinians ought to be terminated simply because they were 'pagan', and why Hitler was the Devil incarnate. And then one of them asked, why are there even Jews in Europe 'as early as the Renaissance'? Wasn't Marx a Jew? At that point I lost control of my nerves... I don't want to say here what I told those... sophomores, because I might want to look for a boiling vat of oil to jump to.

I assign being busy and tired all the time.

But fortunately, it should get better in a week or two.

Aganzir · 01-15-2009, 03:14 PM

Swedish essays, grr. Doing them too late because of laziness. Besides I just realised that porr is the most ridiculous word ever.

Vaine · 01-15-2009, 04:05 PM

I assign oppression.

Eönwë · 01-16-2009, 01:19 PM

Lots of work. Sickness.

Brinniel · 01-20-2009, 10:06 PM

Having my first classes of the semester at the same time as the inauguration. What a shame it was to miss it.

Also, attempting to make a one mile walk to and from my off-campus dance class in under fifteen minutes due to the fact that I have other classes which are on-campus right before and after the dance class. I have a really tight schedule this semester...

Buying a damaged shirt for my bro's birthday present. I was busy and didn't notice it had a large rip at the back. I'm gonna have it replaced first thing tomorrow. I feel really bad about it.

Oh. And finding out whites are gonna star in a clearly Asian influenced Avatar The Last Airbender movie. It's as bad as finding out PJ wants to split Hobbit into two movies. Uck.

That's okay. If you notice, 90% of Asian anime seems to be charactered by caucasian looking toons. In fact, to me, every last one of them looks like the original Speed Racer cartoon as far as facial features. It's strange.

The policy of schools withholding transcripts if you have an outstanding bill, assigned in conjunction with grad school deadlines.

Narrow-sighted managers who renege on their commitment when they realize it involves effort -- even if that effort would have results much larger than the effort involved.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 02-18-2009, 08:05 PM

Mice.

Specifically dead mice.

Or maybe more specifically, the mouse that the cat caught, killed, and left in an unspecified place. So now I have to wander around and hope not to come across it unexpectedly somewhere like my bed or under my foot or something.

Oh, I know that feeling. A couple of months ago, I was rooting around in the dark recesses of our basement, looking for some box of Christmas stuff, and my foot came down on something... squishy. And smelly. It was a mouse in a trap (since our cat died several years ago), and there are few experiences I've had that were more gross. Ewwwwh....

Playing the last song going into the closing hour and turning on the overnight automation to hear...the same song. Gah!

Not being physically able to stop crying, work at a computer, or indeed move my right arm when due on the air in ten minutes.
