  1. Ra-ra-ra-RAVENCLAW!

    I don't play Pottermore much anymore (only on London-like rainy days), but I know I'm a straight-up Ravenclaw, and my wand is a 10.3/4" black walnut, (EDIT Unyielding) unicorn-hair core.

  2. How is America possibly this stupid? I mean, the government is so out of place, out of mind, and so freaking irrational it hurts.

     

    Your country is threatened by the fiscal cliff? Let's make a makeshift, literally last-minute bureaucratic loophole that'll nip us in the bud later, but it's Obama's fault for not having so much money we can ride golden Segways on diamond streets.

     

    Four mass murderers in a year? Giving more people guns, like janitors, sounds like a good idea for now, but give us some time...

     

    People are finding ways to buy $9.99 apps for free!? SOUND THE ALARM, CALL IN THE SWAT!!! If we catch anyone, they will pay more than most people own (because we took it, mweheh), and give them a longer prison sentence then people who actually jailbroke do! This requires immediate action!

     

    This is beyond a facepalm. I seriously do not want to exist on a planet where bureaucracy can be so backwards and oppressive to its people. People say "I don't want to live" when they see Nicki Manaj considering an acting career or whatever, but is one little skintight breastbag that will die soon comparable to a massive nation that when it crumbles, the world crumbles with it? I, friends, refuse to live in a world of puppeteers and false democracies.

  3. PIGGERS ARE GOING ALL THE WAY THIS YEAR!

     

    Free cookies to anyone who gets the reference!

     

    Hmm, it's a tough decision. Since I'm a very casual football fan (only really caring about the Bills' sucky quarterbacks and awesome halfbacks), I tend to base my choice of of emotion or personal connection. However, I have family both in California off SanFran (Palo Alto) and in Baltimore. But, I think that California really deserves to have an awesome year. Go 49ers!

     

    Also, I heard something about Harbaugh. Or was it Limbaugh?

  4. Nope. If they wake me up gently, I'll either wave them off (or flip them off if it's my brother) if I know I can sleep, or if they need me to move to another bed or something I'll actually act very civilly. In fact, my mother once told me that she had said "You're in my spot", and I said "So I am", and simply got up and left. I've even been kicked in the ribs to be woken up and I just take it in stride. It's very hard to startle me awake with a jump.

  5. Thing is, once the girl knows I'm a brony, it's hanging over our heads for the entirety of our relationship. You can take the man out of the fandom, but by DWEIQ you can't take the fandom out of the man. Plus, if someone gave me an ultimatum, in which an external character who is only in my life under my own free will, forces me to change my lifestyle under risk of this external character no longer being relevant to my life, as I have let her be under my will, I think I'll pass on her. To put it simply, if she wants me to be a different person than I am, she can go find that different person.

  6. I'm a devoted (but not die-hard, in that I don't paint my face etc., but defend my team no matter what) Habs fan, and have been nearly all of my life. I even watch every game in French, even though English is my first language!

  7. @Aeternae Salutis Yes, it is pronounced like a U, but the letter U simply did not exist. When spoken, of course, you'd say "Rom-you-luss", not "Rom-yiv-liviss". However, Rome is famous for its written messages, in which V's were used instead.

  8. I think the same bout Hebrew and Greek. And most languages I don't speak (Hey, that rhymed! :D). They sound awesome til you know what they mean.

    NEVER, NEVER, NEVER learn Hebrew. I mean, I have no issue with someone learning it very basically like learning how to answer questions and write short stories or songs, even, but once you get into the complex stuff, you will come home from school with splinters in your mouth from facedesking. I mean, to say "I woke you up", you have to say "Ani hit'ava'kamitem" or something along those lines, instead of "we woke up"= "Anachnu kamnu". It's absolutely ridiculous. Coming from a long-time Hebrew speaker, BTW.

     

    As for the original, Latin is pretty awesome. However, you spelled some of the words wrong in the first one. Lemme fix that:

     

    rotarvm svper bvs ire circvm et circvm

     

    Remember, there are no U's, J's, or W's.

     

    My brother said it was, but I'm pretty sure he was trolling me because I remember very clearly that it wasn't from there from Social Studies a few years ago.

    No, no. Latin America is called that because it speaks Latino, which is actually one of the closest links to original Latin the world has today. Rome was very close to Spain, from whence the colonists came to Latin America, so they took their Roman/Spanish culture with them, which mingled and became Latino. Not to be confused with Ladino, the original Jewish language.
  9. Speaking as many languages as I do leaves you making portmanteaus of random sayings of each.  Once, I was scared while playing Amnesia, and I screamed:  "Sluta hellvette, tu petit merde schweinhundt, ich vil nit jouer ca od lo!"  Which, in order of Swedish>French>German>Yiddish>French>Hebrew, means "Stop FFS, you little sh*t pigdog, I don't want to play this anymore!"

     

    I also have a TON of different vernaculars from which I pick and choose, including a 1800's gentleman, common Cockney, and Luna (I speak Middle English more than I wish I did.)

     

    On an average basis, I use a lot of French, British, Russian (oyche korocho [very good], for example) and other terms in my everyday speech.  It confuses people, but who needs to make sense these days?

  10. In two months, I will become a number that is:

     

    Odd.


    Prime.

     

    In the Fibonacci sequence.

     

    Its mirror is also odd, and also prime.

     

    Both are capable of appearing in a month.

  11. Not right now, because puberty seriously sucks, but it should be over in a few months, in time for the biggest singing event of my life - 40+ minutes of non-stop bellowing.  But the funny thing is, I went from a D being a lower note to a C-sharp.  My main work right now is in Jewish folk and choir music, but I do some more soulful music in my pastime - Simon and Garfunkel a favourite - along with some fun pop songs (not teeny-bop, I'm talking MJ and the like).  And, of course, pony covers.  Currently working on a karaoke-bar style Babs Seed.

     

    EDIT:  Still don't understand why I can do falsetto, even now.  My voice is supposed to be deepening!
