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

I'll assign parents evenings. It's just an hour of constant praise!

I assign catching yourself smiling after having almost forgotten what a genuine smile felt like. A toast to spring and to new beginnings! We'll raise our crystal glasses to the shining new sun and laugh in delight over the refracted rainbows. We'll sip our grape juice and dance 'round the new blossoms, enjoying the green smell of the breeze and the open expanse of blue above us. To spring!

Well said.

And I'd like to assign to the Shire... this extremely tired but accomplished feeling. So I did not sleep last night, but my essay is done and finished and eventually quite brilliant, too. I shall never, ever put things off till the last moment again.

No really. *yawns*

Polish 20 Questions. (I'm not sure why it's Polish, but okay.) It's just the same as regular 20 Questions except that everybody gets a little card with their answer on it and sticks it on their forehead and has to guess what their own says. Now there's a fun game - you get some really funny results, especially when people start getting out to get each other...

I missed LMP's birthday?

Happy belated.

And I definitely agree with everything you all have said about the Mead Hall... Putting it here is superb. I get both my adopted cultures all rolled into one. (How to decide between the two??)

And yes, definitely agree with the nominations of Latin. Even if the Latin club at my school is called a cult, and they think we're all rather strange. Why would they think that??

I assign the first day that it's nice enough to wear a spring jacket outside, instead of your huge winter one.( Fellow canadians will know what I mean.)

Kath · 03-30-2006, 04:06 PM

Brit's will know what you mean as well Valier! Though of course, we have to carry a raincoat too as our weather changes every few hours, or every few minutes sometimes

But no, it was actually warm today. Very nice.

So do folks in the Northeast US, Valier.

The momentous spring coat day took place on March 28.

I'll assign daffodils. They haven't opened yet at my house, but they've pushed above the ground in the flower beds. Can't wait for them to bloom. I should take pics.
