. (onawhim) | 1139 comments Me: It doesn't make any sense ;_; It's missing punctuation and conjunction words, but I have to get above 80% on each of them for the bonus marks and I'm afraid my professor won't give them to me bc I changed the word order and punctuation around too much ... :(

Therefore, good customs were cultivated at home and in service [;] there was the greatest harmony and the least greed [;] justice and good was becoming strong among them [,] not by laws rather than nature. They carried on quarrels, disagreements, [and] feuds with enemies, citizens competed with citizens for bravery. In sacrifices to/of the gods they were splendid, at home they were thrifty, to their friends they were loyal. With these two skills, boldness in war, fairness when peace had come about, they cared for themselves and for the public. Of these I hold the greatest proof(s), that in war ......

Me: I'm pretty tired. My Spanish teacher gave us two more poetry projects.

Me: Probably, but it's still kind of stupid. We have to put together a book of six poems with illustrations for each one, then we have a presentation on a poet where we have to memorise a poem (I'm probably going to pick a haiku), and then we have to write a poem of at least 20 lines and write it on a poster and illustrate that. ;n; ugghh Sra. Costa whyyyyy.

Jo (Penname8) | 3183 comments Me: :c That's dumb.

I have a soliloquy from La Vida es Sueño memorized.

Me: I really hope I don't have her next year.

I can't memorise anything like that. xD Except for music, but that doesn't count.


message 17962: by Jo (new)

Jo (Penname8) | 3183 comments Me: The meaning struck a chord in me, though. Same as a few lines from a Julián Marchena poem that goes something like, "Quiero vivir la vida aventurera/De los errantes pájaros marinos..." I loved it.

Me: Is it meant to be a direct translation?


message 17964: by . (new)

. (onawhim) | 1139 comments Me: @Jo - Awesome! :D

@Van - That sounds kinda fun, I hope you at least partially enjoy doing it :D

@Ivi - what other kind of translation could it be?

Me: I mean word-for-word direct translation. Because I know some translators will just do a translation to capture the tone and writing style rather than the direct word choice. weh. That's what we read for Dante's Inferno.


message 17966: by . (new)

. (onawhim) | 1139 comments Me: Me: Well yes, because the Divine Comedy is written in incredibly difficult, mediaeval-archaic Italian which doesn't easily translate to English :( She didn't say anything about the lack of punctuation/word order, since for the better part of the year we were translating Latin texts that were abridged/edited in order to make it easier. Blah :'(

. (onawhim) | 1139 comments Me: ugh, whatever, I'll just delete that. I don't want to stop anyone from chilling on here and a giant rant from me would tend to do that.

Jo (Penname8) | 3183 comments Me: I was practicing violin.

I'm even more clueless, Whim. I'm sixteen and a total introvert; I can't even figure out how to deal with teachers without answering back.

But that's horrible, and Sara's being a bitch. *thousand mile glomp*


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) | 8158 comments Mod
Me: :/ I'm not sure you can do any more, Whim.

When posts don't post because of crappy Internet ;n;

Me: D: I dunno what happened but I hope you feel better? *hugs Whim* I love you.

So my brother made me do his poetry project for Modern Poetry (for money of course) and I did a painting and analysed it and he looked at me and went, "How are you smarter than me?"


Iviana (The Sign Painter) Mʘ‿ʘP (thesignpainter) | 8158 comments Mod
Me: xD that's amazing.

So apparently he got no sleep and crashed the car. I mean, he's fine, but this is his third time falling asleep at the wheel.


message 17979: by Jo (new)

Jo (Penname8) | 3183 comments Me: *glomps Van* I'm so glad he's fine.


message 17980: by . (new)

. (onawhim) | 1139 comments Me: Oh my god o_o Is the car okay? He should pull to the side of the road and nap! :((

- So apparently Brandon told Sara that her actions were inexcusable and immature and she owes me an apology. Her boyfriend, Alberto, was there too, and apparently he was totally silent the entire time. He must be getting pretty sick of his girlfriend's bullshit. Brandon said either you give her an apology or he tells everyone at the party what happened; she said she gives 0 f**ks and she doesn't owe me anything. She got embarrassed and left. Everyone at the party supports me, basically, and they all think she's a horrible person. :)

Me: That's what I've told him countless times, but he never learns. You'd think after being sued on account of sleeping while driving he would stop but nope. -.- And the car is so bad.

:D Justice for Whim. Go Brandon~


message 17985: by . (new)

. (onawhim) | 1139 comments Me: :/ Men are stubborn like that, Van. He'll learn.

Haha Jo :P I'm really happy it turned out well, she threw a mini uber-defensive hissy fit within earshot of everyone. Probably won't be seeing her any time soon, as after she left everyone (including her boyfriend) decided that no one would ever be excluded again, regardless of what 1 person thinks. If you're uncomfortable with someone at the party, just don't friggin go.

And yes, go Brandon ^_^
