I hereby assign Mardil II, formerly of Gondor, formerly of Mordor, to the Shire for acts of heroism and being a generally good egg.

Why thank you, m'lady. The free peoples of Middle Earth are forever in debt to you.

I assign frozen Dr. Pepper.

Oh, Fea, you are too awesome.

I read that as I was drinking half frozen Dr. Pepper. It is so amazing. When I want a Dr. Pepper, I stick a can and a mug into the freezer for a good while. When I go to drink it, the mug is all frosty, and the fizz freezes as I fill the mug up, and the frozen fizz floats around like crushed ice.

There's something about it being just barely barely above frozen that gives it more of a bite, and not just the bite of the cold. It improves the flavor, I swear.

Cramming, but with the knowledge that everything's under control. It feels so...liberating.

Or the feeling of elation you get after you see you got a good mark in that exam you had crammed desperately for and weren't too sure of what your mark would look like

Discovering that you got good marks in all your exams, especially the ones that you thought you'd done really badly in.

A day at the beach with family and friends....then later on after dark starting a fire and roasting marshmallows!

Made so much better by having been a fool and staying out until 4:00 AM only to get up for work the next morning, the Shire-worthiness is the pair of pyjama pants and amazingly large and comfortable hoodie that you get to put on once you get back. The uninterrupted nap that's on its way. Knowing that you don't have to go back out until tomorrow. Ooh... exciting.
