"Man's love is a thing apart; 'tis a woman's whole existence.' Byron...though they dont say that...i mean what an awsome topic to write on

abigail obsessed with proctor and dancing on graves apparantly...which i need to find

okay find quote time

Gosh, i miss gummy bears...

don't you? geez i remember having those tiny gummy bears...they were so small...but i still only ate one at a time...and they all tasted the same... but were so gummy!!^^

i was just watching mortal kombat...another childhood favourite...^^...yes i was a strange little girl...my grandfather like martial arts movies so i watched them too!!LOOLL when i was in prep in my old school, we were asked what we wanted to be when we grew up (it went in the school year book -but i didn't know that then)so when everybody said firewoman, vet...or something...i said karate kid LOOLL...the true story of a VERY STRANGE CHILD!!!!!

i never thought i would grow up...and if i did i thought we would all be everything like...xena...who travels around doing good and being cool(in a campy way)!!...i was a nineties child!LOL It really never occured to me till...about a week ago...that we might not be able to do everything.

This thought makes me sad.

So the only logical thing to do...is to counter-act this foolish thought!!

Of course we can do everything that crosses our minds on a whimsy. We need to be positive!!!

Must be positive...and find a gummy bear...or two...^^

okay latin

so...i am blogging in hopes of motivating myself to learn the Aeneid in the three nights i have to get it done in...cause i skrewed up before im up to line 90...for all those that do not know ...i must get to line 400..........-.-.........will i get there........maybe...maybe not....gosh i hope so.

math exam on thursday good luck to all those that have chem/chinese tomorrow

we can pull it out of our asses can't we!?!...sure...thats why these exams are the only ones that count!...to give fools like me time to cram in 400 lines of the Aeneid and 26 chapters of Tacitus into a few days!!...i think i'll just learn half of Tacitus though...considering i'm only doing one Tacitus section.

I figure if i do as much as i can tonight then i will just have to do like..6 groups of 40 lines?...tomorrow and the next day...O.o??? LOOOLL..will this work!?!?LOOLL

Might as well try. ...if only that Aeneas could speak in my ear during the exam!! that would be cool.

Latin people and what i'd like to do to them:
1. Tacitus-tell him that he is somehow related to Nero, Piso and Tigellinus combined!
2. Sinon- Hand him over to Hector...heh heh heh, and cut out his tongue...way to verbose!!

okay Ying did a wonderful impersonation of Pliny after i told her how i would like to punch him in the nose for giving me grief in year 11.

YING'S IMPERSONATION:
"caesar, today i encountered a miraculous happening
(marvellous to tell)! a long-haired girl clad in
strange clothes sprang out of my wardrobe and attacked me!"

colubrae

so...i was doing an unseen and the word 'colubrae' was not in the dictionary...so i googled it...and lol.

i get a few returns on it.

One was 'avistrum academy of sorcery'...this was humourous due to the fact vivi and i were dicussing spells today...more specifically the spell of how to open something she said it was porto...and i was like...'i open'...LOOL and got this image of someone bursting...LOOL...any way so then we were trying to find the imperative...this was funny especially as vivi was dressed in a black cape and hogwarts printouts.

and then i thought how awsome we would be at casting spells since we study latin...LOL...we would say stuff...and random junk would happen cause we forgot to decline the noun...or conjugate the verb...LOOOLLL ^^

btw i think ill go a deep red for my nails tomorrow ^^ im getting adventurous

Don't you hate it when...

...you have to be nice?

GAH...it scares me...i mean...what if they don't believe it...or they think you have a few screws loose for smiling to wide? O.o...

Yes Steph i thought of you when he mentioned GAP years

btw if anyone is wondering the blue thing on the wall has fifty prints.

so i also dl the lost boys soundtrack. and am hoping to get the rocky horror picture show soundtrack. 'cause its awsome.

btw i think ill go for light blue nails. the colour is frost bite. its pretty.

Nail Polish

...i think i'll do my toes tomorrow...

so i chose this browny-bronze colour...i dont have really pale skin so im hoping for beetter contrast in the daylight. cause now it kinda blends with my skin which is ...disturbing...considering it is shiney..-.-...

also i wasn't sure if it looks too much like an old person's nail colour...i always get thwarted by my nail polish!! its soooo hard to chose!!!!

i usually go for blue or pink...i like red too but i dont have the really really red ..i have a crimson shade which i think would look okay if i was wearing crimson clothes but otherwise would look too old on me. also i like green, but i have no emerald shade. i have a light green but it has escaped to a safe corner of my desk so that i wouldn't see it. It's crafty i tell you.

I shall research this phenomenon of nail polish further. Oh and i like silver too!!! ^^

quo vadis

one of the highlights of my day was watching tv and seeing an advert for a really old period movie called quo vadis. why is this exciting you ask cause its about Nero <3 the lovable madman...okay well...it also had a scene of Rome burning which is what happens in Tacitus' Annals book XV...the one we study !!! i was so excited...sadly Nero isn't as good looking as the picture of his bust in our latin room so i don't think i'll watch it. he was kinda icky looking in the movie...oh well...i think it's generally agreed that caligula takes the cake though...poor nero ...so much to live up to.

anyway on my teeth. most of the swelling seems to have gone down there is a bit of brusing and i'm losing my double chin which is a thumbs up. and a nurse rang yesterday which i thought was really nice and said that it wasnt wierd that i more swollen on one side, again thumbs up.

but what i logged on here to say was that as i was getting the anethesia they were asking me what subjects i like and i said ummm.. english, latin, umm..history and they were like oh! latin! and im like O.O uh-oh. i know enough to know that when people go 'oh latin' they gonna ask you a question about it. thinking it was delightful that they were being so friendly i was also terrified about the question. and rightly so. 'whats a gerund?' O.O i felt my answer was less than decent 'umm..a verbal adjective..i think' ...

so i looked it up and found it was not as horrible an answer as i thought. simply put a gerund is a verbal noun, a gerundive is a verbal adjective. and now i kinda understand them. hopefully
