What do you assign to Mordor?

[Lathriel]

These past three days can go to Mordor.On wednesday I found out that the essay I thought was due in another weeks time was due on Friday. Plus I had a midterm to study for. Basically I had no life for two and a half days!!!!

To Mordor with people who cancel on you at the last minute. As in, half an hour before they're supposed to be somewhere, and in doing so really bleeping you off so that it becomes a real effort to enjoy yourself.

1. Economics class. I thought I was done with math, but noooooo, here comes big nasty AP Macroeconomics to devour my soul and make me feel dumb.
2. Friends who become very full of themselves and act mean.
3. The bookstores never having the graphic novel you need to complete the collection.
4. When you are about to do someone a favor and he suddenly says something stupid and you think "what a jerk" instead.
5. Having to sing pieces in chorus which are not only religious in nature, but also devoid of anything melodically or harmonically interesting.

The way all the people I consider to be my Barrow-peers are 18 or older. I feel so... I don't know. Not small, I'm that already. Sort of lonely.

Why? Why must you all be grown ups?! Stupid aging process.

I conassign gravity to Mordor, for having a large hand in breaking my beloved mug that has faithfully served me for nearly a quarter of my life.

And idiotic fastfood cashiers who don't place "Next Counter Please" signs on supposedly closed counters. I've been waiting in front of one, impatiently tapping my long nails for several minutes, then this female who's previously been "playing" with the microphone looked at me and asked, in this condescending "Hey kid, have you lost your mom?" voice: "Are you going to order something?"

Geesh. I had to do my best to keep from replying "Naw, I lost my mom. Can you help me find her?"

Apparently my annoyance was too clearly noticeable in my expression that the male cashier who finally took my order screwed up somewhere in his cashier- litany. Hah.

I assign when days out go wrong.

So we wanted to go to Haworth but the car was encased in perma-frost. We decided to go to Hebden Bridge on the train instead. First of all, we got on the slow train to Leeds and almost died of tedium. Then we get to Hebden Bridge and decide to walk up to Heptonstall, abandoning this half way as it was like climbing Everest; on the way down we see that there were regular buses up there anyway, but have spent so long talking to a rather handsome ginger cat that it was now a little late. Then we go and have something to eat only to be entertained by a loud conversation at the next table going into intimate detail about everything her friends ever ate for every meal and the calorie content of said foods. I then enter a bookshop and hold a door open for an old lady who does nothing to thank me but pass wind loudly in my direction. We later attempt to get on a train which is jammed to the rafters with idiots and get tutted at as we get off this cattle truck and go instead for the quieter local train.

Still, we did make friends with a nice cat, and I got some nice books.

I assign Fea for liking both Dr Pepper and marmite - what is wrong with your taste buds!

Also, dozing off 4 minutes before the programme you need to tape starts so that you wake up 10 minutes in and leap off the sofa to press the record button, forgetting you're still wrapped in a blanket and so making an oh so hilarious face first dive onto the carpet.
