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

Definitely an Orthanc assignment is the Earthquake the night before last! It was cool and kind of exciting, but of course is not really a 'nice' thing for The Shire

It was a bit spooky being waken by the bed violently shaking about and smashing my head on it, and hearing the cats run away in sheer terror, but it was also fascinating next day! The sound was the oddest thing, like a roaring noise and a crashing! And I dismissed it as just a night terror!

OK, do half bad and half good things count here? Because in that case, I'll assign turning 29.
I mean, it's almost 30!

But then, at least it's under 30.

Plus, you get presents.

Hmm... would the Downer fit into this catagory?

What do you think Hookbill?

Disney films. Though I disagree with most of their moral teachings, I just love them... Also I generally dislike music like Elton John's but almost start crying in the first music scene of the Lion King (Circle of life... aww...)

Could I possibly second everything you said?

Also, I don't like how commercialised they are but they're just so amusing and nostalgic... and it can be seen that they have been done well (or at least most of them have).

Thirded (or sixthed, however you take it).

I assign identifying with a book character who is so much like me in every way, only to see a few pages later that another character realises something about this character. No problem with that, only it's a thing that applies to me as well, and I wouldn't maybe have wanted to realise it.
