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

I assign to Mordor... sweat patches. So not cool.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 09-08-2005, 11:15 AM

I hereby assign college dorm parties. Yes, our girls had a crazy dance party the other night, but there was no booze, no drugs, no idiots breaking school rules. We also moved it to where it wouldn't bother anybody. The jerks in the next building over decided to go nuts last night, leaving those of us who actually care about keeping our GPA high enough to keep a firm hold on our scholarships surrounded by drunken caterwauling and random screaming.

Also, I'm going to do a pre-assignation. The pain I know I'll feel in a few hours from my first ever dance class. That goes. The class stays, on the other hand. But the dull ache that should be settling in just as I start my homework? That's got a nice spot reserved.

I assign my school uniform to Mordor. Since it is black, it will fit perfectly there

. And I also send to Mordor the fact that there have been notebooks with pictures from LOTR on their covers but they were sold out before I could buy some, and it does not seem like they are going to bring more before school starts, which is this Monday. This is so unfair! As if there was someone in my town that liked LOTR more than me. These notebooks could have been mine, they should be mine!

I swiftly and surely assign to Mordor the Dread Backspace Button Of Doom.

It's so infuriating when, in the middle of a long response to a terribly interesting PM, the backspace button, instead of performing its deleting function, decides it would be amusing to send me back to viewing the PM. Result: Long PM lost.

Grr.

School and, for that matter, anything else that keeps me from being able to play in more WW games.

The blisters that come from wearing huge boots...

And bus drills in gym class where they make you jump off the back of the bus in said huge boots.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 09-08-2005, 05:37 PM

The blisters that come from unbroken flip flops and the ones two inches below them that come from unbroken argyle flats. And the way that once you have them, you can't comfortably wear any of your shoes, broken in or not.

The reservation has been filled. Ow. And to it, we'll add such a huge workload that one does not even know where to begin. And upon it, we'll add both of the computers that screwed up while someone (we won't mention names) was in the middle of using them yesterday.

Apologies in advance to any parents this will no doubt offend but . . .

. . . I assign the banning of the internet, especially when I need to vote on TiG! My parents know about this and yet still I wasn't allowed on for the two minutes it would have taken to write a post and submit it. Yes, yes I know I did vote yesterday, but you know how I did that? I phoned up my friend who was allowed on the computer and dictated it to her!

But my real complaint actually is that the point of being banned was so that I wouldn't be tying up the phone lines with the internet, and yet I'm allowed to be on the phone for two hours?

So actually I think I'm assigning whatever you would call that piece of logic.

Orominuialwen · 09-09-2005, 04:38 PM

This has been mentioned before, but I'll do it again.

I assign allergies to Mordor. Especially when you used to only be allergic to things like red salad dressing and antibacterial soap that are fairly easy to stay away from, then suddenly develop a pollen allergy that's it's impossible to avoid, and then are completely miserable. Plus, allergies feel as bad as being sick, but you're not allowed to stay home from school because of them. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Oddwen · 09-09-2005, 06:10 PM

Allergies and excess mucous have been sent to Mordor, but there is one thing I would like to see sent with them:

Hankerchiefs.

Not nice clean ones, those are a very good thing, but the used ones. The ones that you seem to soak repeatedly. The ones you struggle to find a dry spot on.

Along with used hankerchiefs goes the feeling of a wet used hankerchief when you have to stick it back in your pocket. Cold and clammy...or worse, warm and clammy.

Or if you happen to use tissues, the piles and piles of wet tissued piled around the chair where you happen to be seated.

I would also like to send dog bites to Mordor. And the dog that gives them. (Stupid Sheila...)

the guy who be short · 09-11-2005, 07:08 AM

People who just don't understand introverts. We like being by ourselves sometimes.

Especially extroverts who try to make conversation when you are clearly not in the mood. The expression on my face clearly shows I've had a hard day at 6th Form. I can't be bothered to make conversation about trivial matters with you. Go away.

Also, being introverted and shy when you're around people you know you'll get on excellent with, once you get to know them.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 09-13-2005, 02:10 PM

I must say it... really, I have no choice.

SAVEs. They must go to Mordor.

The burst of excitement upon seeing that one of your fellow writers has posted on a game thread is so much fun that when you quickly click the link... the revelation that there is no continuation but rather a promise that there soon will be... is just plain depressing.

I quite agree, especially when they're the kind that are posted on the Entish Bow RPG - they last forever!

the guy who be short · 09-13-2005, 03:13 PM

Not having enough time to respond to PMs, or create PMs you want to send.

In fact, the entire time-consuming nature of 6th Form goes to Mordor.
