What do you "assign" to the Shire?

I was going to say. For a second there I thought you would reveal your secret identity (Mitharuman of many colours!)

[Mithalwen]

But then I would no longer be Mith-anything.... I know this is treasonable but I do occasionally allow non-tolkien cultural references to permeate my mind.

The Fiona resolution is from the film "Four Weddings and a Funeral"

Slightly drunken middle-aged men (the nicer ones) one meets in the metro. When they're nice they deffinitely are quite amusing - and depressing, of course, but I've gotten over that.

How about this, yesterday:

I really had to switch off my mp3-player and sit beside him for a chat after he said that.

I assign being done with the musical you've been working on for months and a week after closing night, you are in a ballroom dancing class! I now know how to mambo, tango, one step, and merengue! How exciting!

Waking up and being able to hear properly again in both ears... the head in a bucket effect was driving me nuts....

Allergies are clearly natures way of stopping you enjoying spring too much...

Thirded, although I wanted to post something like that already a week ago... (and going along these lines, could have posted that years ago...)

I'd like to assign unlocking my old email account long after I had given up.

[Thinlómien]

My mother.

The day before yesterday, we were talking about global warming and she said: "If we ever inherit the forests my parents own, they will not be cut down, not as long as I live."

I love her.

I assign the (overall rather feared) teachers who, unexpectedly, decide to finish the lecture by an illustration, reading you a beautiful piece of literature, and even invite the whole class for a drink. (I am horrified by the idea that I actually assigned Professor Š. to the Shire. But he really deserved it. However I am sure all my classmates would be horrified. As am I. Poor hobbits. If they have never heard of Karl Barth, they will now have more than enough of him.)

Consequently, I should assign all good teachers.

[Groin Redbeard]

I know what you mean Legate , good teachers are what you call a diamond in the rough.


I assign all good friends to the Shire. The people who surprise you with little things that mean so much to you, and they just want to make you lose all self control and hug them forever and just say "I love you" over and over again without stopping. God bless them!

I'd like to assign Bekah (friend) to the Shire. As she has been working really hard at Uni this semester and deserves a well earnt break. Just imagining sitting down under the trees, blue skies, what a holiday.

Think I'd like to go with her.

I assign sunlight that shines through the leaves and turns everything golden and green, and the scent of blooming trees.

But most of all I want to assign luminous nights. It's lovely not to have to turn on the light if I go to get something to eat, even if it was 1 am - and it's only May.
