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

Email. I just humiliated myself by sending an email meant for my mother to the entire language faculty at my school. I don't know how it happened either! I know I didn't type in the address of my school...and the address it went to isn't even near how my last name is spelled...

Flourescent lights, especially the one above my head. This is a different one to the one I've moaned about before. It's extra bright and extra-evil and headachey and was on for all of five minutes which put me in a foul mood all day. Which then brings me on to the second thing to go to Mordor - people who spread stupid tales around the workplace, prompting you to write long and indignant e-mail messages and have meetings with your trade union rep, only to find that said tale was a big alarmist lie. That's exactly how an Orc would behave.

Nightmares. I had a terrifying and very sad one a few nights ago that my brother had gone missing and was most likely dead. What's even worse is waking up from a nightmare only to find that you've slept late and have to be out of the house in five minutes if you don't want to be late for somewhere you have to be.

I sense an interesting story behind this one, but I shall refrain from asking for fear of drowning on the potential torrent of rage this could unleash

AS Levels. Yes, the material covered in some subjects is more interesting, allegedly, than in the 2 year A Level course of old. But currently, this is not helping me with the fact that I have public exams really rather soon and am slowly drowning in the sheer volume of work....et que je ne suis pas assez bien a la francais, malheureusement...Je suis trop paresseuse pour le system scholaire...

Also, the fact that there are only twenty four hours in a seven day week. Certainly, this is a flaw in the system: I suspect that there were meant to be eight days each of 25.75 hours, but that somewhere a programmer got it wrong when he was originally writing it in, and, realising that he'd get fired if he pointed it out, quietly continued while the rest of the Universe started to work around the 25.75/8 system in a rather too short day, causing the whole direction of the world to be drastically altered, spinning us into chaos and causing the minds of a generation of British private school sixth formers to explode...

...as seen by this rather disjointed pointed. Shut up, Amana

I assign Boys and all complications in life and friendship that arise with, because, and about them. Perhaps, though, it would be more prudent to assign Girls, since there wouldn't be any of these complications if Girls weren't around doing all of the complicating.

And llamas. Have I yet mentioned how dumb looking llamas are? I'm very prejudiced against them. What practical purpose could they possibly serve that couldn't be better served by a pez dispenser?

I conassign to Mordor people who conassign things to Mordor just because...they know why. They know who they are.

I assign my Medieval Irish literature project to Mordor. Even though I knew it was doomed before I even began, I had not thought it to be doomed quite so... permanently.

Also, all kinds of mermaids. Let them take their flashy fins and show em somewhere else.

Finally, with no offence intended to a certain Downer, the entire city of Aberdeen and definitely including its university (though with a slight possibility yet to redeem itself).

There.

I assign aching muscles after trying a new exercise routine. Stretch... silly boy.

Also, distraction due to hot guys/girls/food resulting in forgetting what you're doing. In general, distraction.

Also, people stepping on your feet.

Finally, incompetency.

Let me guess.....

Nah, I think I'll leave you all to ponder, if you need to.

By the way, are you interested in playing next time? I'll bet you end up doing the same.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-21-2006, 02:16 PM

I assign that point slightly beyond hunger where you stop being hungry. You know that you should eat something, but you're just not hungry any more. Oh, and oranges with too much pith.

I never thought I'd say this... but I take it back! Woohoo.

Oh right, I'm supposed to be sending things to Mordor huh? Err... having to sing in front of an enormous audience when you have a soar throat and don't know if you remember the lyrics? No, who am I kidding, it was wonderful! Err... being unjustly suspected in werewolf games? Nah, I'm over it.

I shall just have to settle for assigning leprechauns. They are scary. Garden gnomes, too.
