Kath 10-06-2006 07:25 PM

Unwanted suitors, and all the problems that come with them.

Volo 10-07-2006 09:35 AM

Not having anybody (friends, family) around who you could physicly meet. :(

Laitoste 10-08-2006 08:33 PM

The fact that the bagel I'm eating tastes somewhat like a biodegradable napkin. That's what I get for taking food out of the cafeteria. :rolleyes:

Come back Saurreg! I'll take the flowers. ;) :D

I'm assigning days where you can't work out the temperature.

Also, slow internet connections, grr.

ninja91 10-09-2006 05:13 PM

I assign Immanuel Kant, because I have seen true beauty more than once.

Imladris 10-09-2006 05:19 PM

German Midterms and all the declining of past/future/present verbs and adjective endings that are determined by gender among other things that tend to make the brain explode.

Celuien 10-10-2006 06:20 AM

Away to Mordor with door locks that break and leaved you locked in behind them!

Fortunately, I'm on the smaller side and this was one of those dressing room type doors with a fairly large space underneath, so I made my escape by slipping under the door.

I also assign sliding across a floor that is probably disgustingly filthy. *shudders*

Saurreg 10-10-2006 06:30 AM

Poor Celuien. I know how it feels. One time my section got locked out of our bunk in specialist training centre, boot camp. And to get add to the dilemma, it was the weekend bookout and the three tonner truck was waiting to take us to the ferry terminal. I was nominated by my section mates to go through another section's bunk, climb out their window and enter ours to unlock the door. :rolleyes:

Feanor of the Peredhil 10-10-2006 07:55 AM

I assign when the elevator doors shut, but not all the way, leaving you stuck inside an unmoving metal box that's suspended at least seventy feet above the bottom of the shaft. *shiver*

Celuien 10-10-2006 08:54 AM

Oh no, Saurreg. Locked doors that shouldn't be locked are awful, and it sounds like that was a particularly bad time and place to encounter one!

And I assign nominating people to take on unwelcome tasks.

Lush 10-10-2006 09:25 AM

Student loans. :eek:

the guy who be short 10-10-2006 02:03 PM

As a soon-to-be student, may I ask why, Lush?

Because when you're done being a student, you have to pay them off...

As for me, I assign car troubles. Specifically, car troubles resulting in said car not moving and needing very expensive replacement parts.

And to Mordor with making important decisions regarding communities. Is there a right way?

Lhunardawen 10-10-2006 08:18 PM

I assign myself for not knowing how to use a sphygmomanometer. I was practising on my mum the other night because she just had high BP that morning, and the way I heard it her diastolic pressure was registering on 20! So on a related note, I assign not being able to hear anything through a stethoscope.

For something really serious, I assign suddenly hearing from high school batchmates that another batchmate just passed away, because of an autoimmune disease. He's too young...way too young... :(

Volo 10-13-2006 07:59 AM

One of your best friends showing off by smoking (also stronger stuff) and offering you snuff, telling you how a water bong works and would I want to try after school. My class is full of drunkards to be. Not even nice or witty in any way... I really hope for something better next year in the upper secondary school or whatever you call it there.

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-13-2006 06:16 PM

English trains for two reasons.
1. Not enough space for the legs
2. Toilets that resembles the ones of a Danish public school! (not good at all)

Oh yeah and English keyboards. . .well they are annoying when you are not used to them.

Firefoot 10-13-2006 09:49 PM

Not being able to find your driver's license.

Could have been worse - One of the secretaries where I worked last year got trapped in the lift but instead of being rescued by a dishy and hunky fireman she was rescued by a short and puny solicitor with killer halitosis...

But I assign people who think their fame and wealth gives them the right to pick out a child to adopt like a fashion accessory "cambodian babies are sooo last year ...has to be an african "

JennyHallu 10-16-2006 01:52 PM

At least they're helping that child.

And Fea, in my dorm in college we used to sit in the elevator lobby and listen to the screams of whoever'd gotten stuck in the elevator. You could hear them clearly on all eight floors.

Ah, the joys of Virgin trains perhaps, 'run' by my 'friend' Richard Branson ? May his socks be forever holey and his beard filled with itchy lice...

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-16-2006 08:06 PM

I don't remember if they where "Virgin Trains" but I did see alot of them, so it is a definite possibility.

(Chester Zoo only sell Virigin Cola, I guess that is his doing as well. Although that is not really annoying)

Well, I hope it wasn't this bad...

Hope your trip goes well, or much better. :)

Kath 10-17-2006 03:44 AM

Being ill when you have an essay to be handed in tomorrow, and due to said illness have only written 400 words of the requisite 2000. :eek:

Why do I think I'm not going to be sleeping today? Oh right, because I'm still procrastinating!

JennyHallu 10-18-2006 08:19 PM

This conversation:

My Mom: Oh...did we tell you the date of Grandma Rainwater's surgery?
Mom: Tuesday, October 24
JennyHallu: Um.
JennyHallu: WHAT surgery?
JennyHallu: I'm always missing the essential bits of info
JennyHallu: grrr
Mom: She has had a heart valve with issues over the last 20 years.
Mom: It finally got to the point where it must be replaced.
Mom: So she is having open heart surgery a week from Tuesday.
JennyHallu: thanks for the prompt info
JennyHallu: No one told me she was having surgery
JennyHallu: and that's a pretty big one

I'm so sick and tired of being so far from home and so out of the loop. I'm scared for my grandma...it's my great-grandma, and she's 81, and I'm absolutely furious that no one told me. This was Sunday...and it's been all I've been able to think about all week.

And I can't be there.

Elonve 10-18-2006 09:46 PM

Being I love with a Bloke. (A really nice ,sweet, funny, shy one) Everybody knows how much you adore him...

except him of course!!!! :mad:

Why are boys so blind?

Macalaure 10-19-2006 02:28 PM

Having your cockatiel to be put down. :(

Twenty-one he was...

Rune Son of Bjarne 10-20-2006 11:23 AM

Warning This is a post about my non-extisting lovelife
 
I assign my inability to acknowledge that I have feelings for sertain peolpe and even if I do realise it, I cannot get my act together before it is to late.

the guy who be short 10-20-2006 02:42 PM

1) Making a social retard of myself.
2) In front of hot guys.

:rolleyes:

littlemanpoet 10-21-2006 09:00 AM

Be yourself.

But who am I?

Augh, the angst of searching for one's identity. I'm glad that stuff's all done, but I feel sorry for you teens. Assigned to Mordor it is.

Kath 10-24-2006 01:02 PM

Homesickness.

Feanor of the Peredhil 10-24-2006 01:25 PM

The depressed realization half way through a 1 1/2 hour long midterm review class that you've been daydreaming and haven't the foggiest what he's been saying about what's on the biggest test of the term... you know... the one that'll make or break your grade.

Thinlómien 10-25-2006 02:55 AM

The whole situation.

Macalaure 10-25-2006 03:16 AM

Seconded...

ninja91 10-25-2006 10:32 AM

...the flu.

Lhunardawen 10-26-2006 02:05 AM

The paranoid fear of being (about to be) sick.

Kath 10-26-2006 05:56 AM

People not phoning when they're supposed to!

Taralphiel 10-26-2006 07:04 PM

I must assign...
 
The glorious embarrassment of falling down the stairs and hurting your foot.

Added to which is:

Being on the phone with someone at the time of said fall. Knowing not only that they are probably laughing at you, but also that your silliness in not concentrating on the stairs but on the conversation (and the armful of washing on the other hand) is what caused the tumble.

Oh, and not being able to wear a sneaker on that foot. *curses*

Graceful, aren't I? *giggle*

- Tara :)

littlemanpoet 10-27-2006 08:15 PM

You may recall that cell/mobile phones were assigned to Mordor pages and pages ago. This is one reason why. ;)

I assign not getting enough sleep and trying to fight off the latest bug, be it cold or flue, and feeling absolutely drained from the combination .... while working a full 8 + hour day ... and my shipping supervisor is playing chicken with stuff that has to go out TODAY but isn't even the building yet! :eek:

Assigned it is.

Rikae 10-28-2006 07:42 PM

I assign to Mordor the combination of the following things (not necessarily the things individually):

A 5 page essay on 4 Nabokov books, only 2 of which you've read, AND
another 5 page essay with missing page numbers that need to be retrieved from 10 different books AND
An enormous charcoal drawing midterm, due in one day, that isn't going well, AND
another short essay on Venetian art AND
a Northern Renaissance Art midterm to study for AND
about ten loads of laundry AND
a sink full of dirty dishes AND
four Halloween costumes to make AND
it all needs to be done on a Sunday, which means church & taking the kids to religious ed as well.

:eek:
