What do you assign to Mordor?

Three-hour-long rehearsals for my music department's Christmas concert...which no one is prepared for. Did I mention the first performance is two weeks away?

Ah. Painful. Almost as bad as calculating scores and putting them on graphs for a psycho project (and believe me, the scores are HARD. Everything needs to be reversed, and you have around three pages to refer to ).

The following, which happened last week:

• A client refusing to pay me for a job he'd commissioned, not because it wasn't up to standard, but because he had decided in the meantime that the money would be "better spent" on other things. No, he's not being a jerk, at least not on purpose– the man just doesn't understand that you can't do that. (I regret to say that I've had this happen before with amateur artists and the like– sometimes, no matter what they agree to, they seem to view the whole transaction as a game )
  
• The cat dying. She'd been poorly for a few days, and then I walked out on the back verandah and found her collapsed on the ground. I rushed her to the vet but he couldn't do anything. To tell the truth, she wasn't the nicest cat around, in fact rather a wicked little beast, but she was cute in her own way, and I'd got fond of her. I really miss her now. It seems to strange to pour milk, or cut a piece of cheese, without her damanding some, with a baleful yellow glare and the most threatening miaow possible...
  
• Missing an important meeting, due to the aforementioned dying cat and to a certain party who couldn't be bothered arriving on time to give me a lift.
  
• The computer dying. At least, it's currently in the electronic version of intensive care. I'm writing this on my father's machine.

Definitely one of those weeks. At least there was some good news at the end of it.

The death of a dear pet is always Mordor-worthy. My deepest sympathy, Nerwen! (My two toms send their condolences, too.)

I assign to Mordor....Mathematics in general. Because it gave me [insert any atrocious word here] during middle and high school. I had NO problems with it in Elementary, but then they added the alphabet.

I also assign to Mordor... the Twilight Saga. There's a difference in being a devoted, loyal fan and being psychotically obsessive. (Now watch an avid despiser of Harry Potter post they assign HP to Mordor It never fails. And aside from that I'm not saying ALL fans are like that, just the majority of those whom I've had the...pleasure of meeting.)

And someone on the first page said they assigned Jack Russells to Mordor...I, too, agree with this! There is NEVER a moment's peace in this house because of those yapping, over excited, horribly ill-tempered dogs.

And while I'm adding things to the list, how about hunters who apparently can't distinguish the difference between a dog and a deer. You couldn't even mistake them for coyotes!



With all of that off my chest, Nerwen I know exactly how you feel and I sympathize. I lost my cat whom I've had since I was in 6th grade to coyotes. It was, to say the least, devastating for me.

My cat died a few years ago just after she had kittens. I was really upset about it. I know how you feel, Nerwen.

PJ definitely belongs in Mordor. May he rot there in the deepest hole he can find! Curse him till the end of his days! He has no right to ruin LOTR.
No offence to you, Mellrynx, but I'd assign math to Rivendell, if there was such a thing. I love working with the alphabet instead of real numbers. The one small part of ath I'd put in Mordor would be multiplying 5-digit numbers by hand.

I can sympathize with you. I am going through that torture right now. Maths. *shudder* I don't think I'll live.

Haha. The Twilight Saga. My old arch-enemy. Let's not even go there.

Imagine walking through the grocery store. And you see that fabulous yellow tag just below your favorite item. The yellow tag that suggests it's ON SALE! Woo hoo!

You walk quickly toward it. You grab the box of Annie's organic cheddar bunny shaped pasta. And before you celebrate not paying full price, you see that the price on the yellow sale tag is the SAME price as the normal price listed above it!

Those sneaks! Make you think you're getting a good deal when in reality you're getting the same deal as always!
