"And Where is the Answer...?"

I made a pun in Latin to-day.

And Waen guessed the answer.

I haven't decided yet quite how sad this actually is.

(Skipped dance again to-night because am too exhausted. going to bed now.)

Two nights ago I went to bed at 3 AM because I was too busy skipping around the room in the middle of the night, reading out Catullus in hendecasyllables ("PAS-SER DE-li-ci-AE me-AE pu-EL-LAE"...it sounds so pretty omg, especially when it's all elided together and you get bits that sound like "deindusqualtera mille")

I think we're all pretty sad here.

I know. Pathetic.

--Yay! It can't have been in very good shape at this point, but. :D YAY.

*clings and prays for Friday?*

So sad. ^___^

I wiiiill. Or I diiiid. Or something. ^_~

(*squeaks*

Can send it as soon as you tell me where to!)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-11-15 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
I love you. Ee.

True. But. Yes. ^_____^

Soujin: What do you call it when you get to a quiet passage in a Latin novel?
Waen: Loci.
Soujin: ...What have we just done?

(There! Now you must send me yours, so that I can send you a letter while I still have these wonderful notecards.)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I'm ashamed to be seen with you, I think...! (Speaking of Latin geekery, can we have a translation of Horatio's reply, plz? It's positive, we hope.)

--Hard as a rock unfortunately. But very colourful and made us squee anyway. And candy to console us-- you think ahead, Miss!

*Yesplease*

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, dear. How-ever will we manage this weekend? (OH. *dies* OH, yes, definitely, sorry about that...! It's positive. Just silly (honestly. esse aut non esse, the idiot. XD)! Yes, sorry, I'll do that.)

I was afraid of that. *giggles* But quite colourful, yeafaith! Rather, say Epimetheus thinks ahead. ^___^

*absolutely*

...By the way, Don John, Hero needs rescuing. :D Because yes, I will now give her over to your care, seeing as her fiance is off snogging Benedick.

Domine Mi:
My Lord:

Nihil dicere habeo. Amo te. Ignosa me. Nihil--
I have no words [lit: nothing to say]. I love you. Forgive me. Nothing--

Merere non sum.
I am not [to be worthy].

Cor meis tuus est.
My heart is yours.

Dominus meus es. Deus meus es-- Ego--
You are my Lord. You are my God-- I--

Dicere, cogitare; ducere, docere, ferrere -- esse (non esse) -- ages omnes. Omnes es.
To speak, to think; to lead, to teach, to bear -- to be (not to be) -- you do [accomplish, undertake, withstand] all. You are all.

Cor meis habes (cor meis habe!)
You have my heart (have my heart! [this is in the command form; 'take my heart' is implied])

(esse aut non esse -- )
(to be or not to be)

Vales. Animus meus, vitium habes--
You are strong. My soul, you have strength-- [this is a woeful attempt to protest his faith in a situation where he 'has no words'. 'Animus meus' is not supposed to be an interjection, but he's using it as one. also, let us note with amusement that 'vitium' is a noun that means, literally, 'manly or masculine strength'. It is a feminine noun. yes.]

Amo te, Domine.
I love [thee], Lord.

Nihil dicere habeo.
I have no words.

--Tuus, Horatio
Yours, Horatio ['Tuus' meaning literally 'belonging to you', in a quite possessive sense. :D]

La, la...! Ignore the limited vocabulary and the fact that it does not translate well, please.

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
...Horatio.

We love him so. (And nothing's worse than our limited vocabulary, thank you very much.)

<333333333

I continue to find this inexplicable.

(...Oh, come now.)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
Very badly, I should think. (Oh, thank you! No, it's adorable. We didn't want to post there because we wanted to let him sleep, poor dear.)

*grins* Very colourful, and thank you Epimetheus!

...As much as that is the worst idea I've ever heard sure! :D :D (*pokes Don John* I'm so not sure what he's doing. XD)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Dreadfully, faith. I can't wait. (^_^;;; Okayyy. Sorry. Yes, I'm so glad he's sleeping now.)

He says YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!!!!!121!!!!!!! %^__________________^!!!!1

...:D Oh, surely not the worst. This is, however, almost too easy (http://www.livejournal.com/community/desperatefans/633287.html?thread=20915911#t20915911). I had forgotten how innocent she was. XD (*glomps him in a surprise attack*)

Just read the letter, omg. Adorable.

(...Really! Hamlet just kept saying 'I love you.')

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
esse aut non esse. Come on.

(LOVE IS THE UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE, which implies that one word is enough for a thousand. :D)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
--Okay, so that made me laugh.

(XD If you say so..!)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
He's an idiot.

(I do say so; and, to further my own theory, I say it by saying 'I love you'.)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
It will be horri-- wonderf-- something, all right. (Us tooooo. *starts to snuggle Horatio, but sends Hamlet over instead*)

^______^ *pounces and gives poprocks and coffee-flavoured kitkats*

...Heee. So. Rescuing? ...wow, dear. (Don John: ... *flails. without many words.*)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
^_______^ SOMETHING! (Awwwwww. But Horatio wouldn't mind snuggles from you, either, he says. Not in so many words, of course, but.)

Epi: *is beside himself, which is easier than typing out 24601 exclamation marks cubed*

Er, yes. ^__^ It would be very nice if someone could step in and save her from herself. (^________^! *cheekkisses blithely!*)

[identity profile] silverdragon262.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
Not any more than his boyfri-- ...that's not a good thing.

(I'll have to say 'I love you' in a so-- ...<3 hi.)

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2005-11-16 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Miss, his boyfriend's got the advantage of being adorable; and having insanity in his defence.

(Oh, do. ^__^)
