Well, I don't know if Feanor does, but I sure do. One of my greatest fears now come exams time is that I'll be sick enough for it to affect my performance on the exam, but not really sick enough to go to the doctor.

I guess that if you go to the doctor anyway he'll give you a note (though you have to pay for it, which actually makes sense.... discourages getting notes just 'cos)... but I'm not one who particularly enjoys putting more stress on an already overwhelmed system unless it's necessary... and a fever and headache is NOT.

I was not offended by what you wrote Lommy. . . .

Everytime I see that someone has posted in the typo-thread I just get nervouse and start thinking "it is probably me again". For the last 6 months I just chose to ignore the thread, but for somereason I decided to look at it again when you posted.

This just reminded me of my general dislike for the thread, it is not like I cannot see the funny in me calling Galadriel a cleaver. . .

I assign...

-The fact that at my college one cannot receive more than three unexcused absences or you will fail. (And yes, being sick does count as unexcused...I think the only time absences are excused are for religious reasons or if you are hospitalized or something like that.)

-The confusing process of getting a visa. Apparently, I'm going to need one for next year, but I don't really understand anything about getting one. At least, I'll have another month or so to figure this out. Still...garr...

-Oh yes...and PMS. I think most females will feel the same way on this one...

BTW Rune- there's no need to be touchy about typos. It add charm to your character.

Oh, thanks for saying that aloud, Esty! Because now I realised I write it every time! (Even though I'm aware of that "rule".) I don't do it to be nasty of course, or to point fingers at people, or not even to point out who said it, but because I'm used to mention who I quote so it kind of comes automatically. But now that I've realised it I can leave it out in future. Hmmm... they say you learn something new every day!

And now I assign the awareness of the Chat Swerl approaching at a monstrous speed!

I assign telemarketers. Especially the people who call your cell phone of all things.

Example:

*phone rings. I answer*

me: (not sure who it is) Hello?

telemarketer: (cheerfully) Hi! Do you currently own a Visa card?

me: mmm...yeah...

telemarketer: Well, I wanted to let you know you are eligible for a sweepstakes to win a free weekend get-away and other prizes worth up to $20,000. All you have to do is-

me: (irritated) Yeah, well I'm not interested.

telemarketer: Wait...you haven't even heard me out yet! I-

me: I said no!

*call ends*

So yeah, I know it's your job and all to annoy people, but that doesn't mean I can't assign you to Mordor....so take that!

Please, friends, do consider using Private Messages when and if your thoughts are directed to one individual. Wouldn't want the nasssssty chat skwerl to get ya.

Assignment: James Bond simply is not supposed to fall in love. Meh. I care not how smart and alluring the femme is. Granted, one of the better movies but ... meh. Yes, I still enjoyed the flick.

Talking on the phone, and phones in general. I never sound like myself, and neither does anyone else . Terrible, uncomfortable things, phones are.

Ugh...I really hate it when I get dropped calls on Skype...that can be very annoying.

Speaking of computers...

I assign the technical problems I'm having with getting my wireless running on my laptop. I'm still stuck on the family computer and it very frustrating for both me and my parents, who are tired of me hogging the computer all the time...

Oh, and I assign working double shifts at my summer job, especially during the busiest days...they're really doing a number on my feet.

Having a feeling that everything you had on your computer is deleted. Scary.

Yeah, Rune, something like that seemed to happen. All the texts, pictures, music, all gone...

If any of you (especially Kath, Aganzir and Lommy) have any files that are connected to me (WW texts, other texts, etc.), could you please send them to me (i_h8_mcdonalds@hotmail.com).
