I'm working too
as I decided to have a cooked breakfast and a lounge in bed instead of my usual half-loaf of toast and a swift train to the library.
I'm just lazy.

No you're not, my dear - you're working on Saturday night.
Throughout my entire degree I don't think I even worked in the afternoons...

I meant to laugh at you the other day for liking catullus
haha you like catullus
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 7 May 2011, 21:29, Reply)

I hate not knowing clever in-jokes.

( girlinthehole, Sat 7 May 2011, 21:32, Reply)

catullus was a roman poet
to paraphrase one of his most famous poems:

i hate her, and i love her. why does this happen, perhaps you ask?
i do not know. yet i feel it happen, and i am tormented.

Oh, the joys of GCSE latin...

What a wimp.

( girlinthehole, Sat 7 May 2011, 21:35, Reply)

he also said the promises women make are only worth the air they're written on
or something.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 7 May 2011, 21:36, Reply)

That's Roman women for you.

It might as well be written on flowing water, I think.

Can't for the life of me remember what the poem is.
I think I have to do it, when I come across it I'll let you know.

I am struggling to argue with this assessment.
Juvenal is my niggah.

I love him.
I wrote a dedication in Crow's birthday present last year, which was poem 112.

It consisted of:
You're a slut, [Crow*], and not many men would be seen to hang around with you.
You're a slut, [Crow], and a massive gay.

*obviously not Crow. Changed from "Naso" to "Corve"


He's so delightfully bitchy, and poem 7 is genuinely beautiful.

To be fair, as a linguist, I did enjoy latin
but for some reason, we were never taught cases. So as GCSE students translating Anaeid book 6, we couldn't figure out what order to put the words in.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 7 May 2011, 21:44, Reply)

Not taught cases?!
First thing we did, really. I can still rattle off servus puella vox dies and manus...

Though the latter two are a bit ropey.
I can't believe that. How the hell did you manage?!

There were six of us in the class
and the teacher basically went through each passage with us, asking us for vocab as we went. We basically had to know the root word, and he put them in the right order for us.

Comes from having no text books, I suppose. Not like in German and French.

When it came to the exams, we already knew what the passages were, to a certain extent, and could more or less guess the rest.

We also had a latin reading contest, sponsored byu teh classical association, and I was absolute champion five years running. yay me.

primus, ibi ante omnes, magna comitanta caterva, laocon, ab ardens summa decurrit, criens 'o miseri' and i can't remember teh rest.
( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Sat 7 May 2011, 21:52, Reply)

I did the latin reading competition!
And the Greek. This wasn't in "the North", was it?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Sat 7 May 2011, 21:57, Reply)

Lincolnshire
but we didn't do 'greek'.

pffft.
