What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Mud.

Springtime mud.

The kind that is caused by melting snow.

The kind that turns the top two inches of your driveway into soup. (Though the ruts that are there when it freezes back up again can go Elsewhere...)

Living on a road with a slight incline, so that you can play in the rivulets that run down the hill across the end of the driveway. *sigh* Such memories...

Brighton beach.

When the weather turns unexpetedly beautiful.

Fish and Chips on the beach.

French exchange students.

Thick coach windows that, due to two reflections, make it look as if there are two suns, or even three.

French people trying to explain the difference between au-dessus and au-dessous to obstinate English children who claim there is none.

Perfect days out that mean you don't have to go to lessons you don't like.

Lovely, succulent French cheeses. Mm, nice.

The following conversation near midnight outside of a bar on a really cold street:

"Sweetie, what are the chances that you can get next weekend off of work?"

"Depends on how hard I try for it. Why?"

"Because I'm taking you home."

"Then I'm going home."

And posting up on the sub-list that you need someone to take your hours and seeing a few hours after that you're covered.

I very happily assign the prospect of going home for the first time in several months.

Lovely librarian's that happily spend half an hour finding all the books that you need for the next few weeks.

What, back to those awful parents of yours? Aren't they in Mordor?

Actually, I miss my dogs.

I second that. Spring break in a week! Home for the first time since Christmas! I get to see my dogs and my kittens who are (sadly) no longer kittens! Plus, a week to lie around, play video games, and complete homework assignments that would typically be allotted a day to finish. However, I refuse to play chauffer to my little brother. Especially when he won't ask nicely.

Oh, I also want to add wireless internet, which deserves a simultaneous assignment to Mordor. I can go anywhere in the building now and continue to compulsively check my email! Although, I can no longer escape the internet in the hallway outside my room and write my papers without distraction.

Knowing full well that the hour you just spent on a WW post could have been used to do a good couple of pages of your geography coursework, and just not caring!
