"Poor, Poor, Pitiful Me..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

My apologies to everyone on AIM. My keyboard seems to have died. I am typing this with copy-paste (pasting each letter separately). My b, space, and n keys are dead. Waen spilt water on it. Gah.

Especial apologies to mhari, who got the worst of it because I hadn't yet grasped what was happening. I hope she is feeling loads better and I am awfully sorry.

Must fix keyboard. Alas. Good-night.

>_<

But. Wibbly sorries to flameofdeath, too! Hopefully this will get cleared up by to-morrow and we can write our fic! And thank you, gileonnen, for understanding.

...I never realised before now how may ens I use in one sentence. For heaven's sake!

Right-o. To fixing I get.

Eleven days before, like, on *my* birthday? I only know like two people with my birthday. And also Salvador Dali, who was on crack so he doesn't count.

Um, yes. I have known several peoples with le jour de natale de Erin, and I have always held it to be a way of torturing me, because it's still another eleven days until my birthday then omg!

Salvador Dali does so count. Nyeh.

On the plus side, I get Arthur Conan Doyle to share my birthday.

As long as we're talking about NDdP and birthdays, did you know that Victor Hugo died on our birthday!?

Yes...I had to find some way of connecting myself with Hugo *hangs head in shame*

Also: Do you speak French?

[rainbowjehan.livejournal.com]

He did?! Omg. I feel so--special, somehow. And a little guilty. :)

It is perfectly understandable. *pats you*

Sadly, no. They won't let me take classes. Apparently I'm too young.

It's cool/interesting that you like NDdP so much even though you don't speak French. The music's great and all but one of the main reasons I love it is that the lyrics are so amazing. There's a lot lost in the English translation as you probably know.

P.S. I've been taking French for 6 years in school and I'm by no means fluent. But, I have listened to NDdP enough times to have memorized almost all the lyrics....

I love listening to other languages sung. I have things in Japanese and Latin and Italian and what-have-you as well as French, and they all make me very happy. Besides, I manage to pick up at least some of the words from subtitles and/or lyric translations, and then it's fun because I'll have a vague idea of what they're talking about. So, um, the point of that was to say that I have no problem listening to things I don't understand (although Latin I do...), when they're music. I really do want to learn French, though, because I'd love the be able to translate N-DdP at least partially, and to understand it better. So, yes.

*giggles* Ah! Yes, I'm working on that part.
