# About me

"At the end of the day, all we have is who we are."

Hi, I'm Elfie.
I get far too little sleep than I should and write far much more than I should. I love the sciences and the classics more than any other thing in the world, and I love my family more than any other people in the world.

Sometimes I write poetry; frequently I take photographs. I always like drawing scenery and the people around me - so it'd be a good idea to keep an eye on me, because chances are I'm sketching you.

I eat ridiculous amounts of food, speak four-and-a-half languages fluently, and laugh at pretty much anything anyone ever says. I have the world's weirdest taste in music and I make music covers.

...I don't really even know what I'm doing here. Uhh.

Current Residence: Ancient Rome. Or the various Fields of Quantum Physics---one can run for miles in them! Has also been known to take up residence at 221B Baker Street.
deviantWEAR sizing preference: small
Favourite genre of music: indie/alt rock, post-punk revival, Impressionist, classical, Baroque
Favourite photographer: Zee
Favourite style of art: surrealism, fantasy, landscape
Operating System: Windows 7
MP3 player of choice: iPod Touch
Shell of choice: I like stuffed pasta shells. :3
Favourite cartoon/anime character: America/Alfred F. Jones (from Hetalia)

I KNOW I WAS ALL LIKE, YES I'M GONNA SEE SHERRY AND WERE GONNA CHILL AND CATCH UP AND TALK ABOUT HOW MUCH WE LOVE LATIN AND I'M GONNA TELL HER ABOUT HOW EVERYTHING GOING ON THIS END
But no. Shannon's going to Comic Con, Nick's going to a breast cancer walk, Jeireh's in Germany forever, and I haven't even seen Amanuel come to a practice.

(Having no life but Latin is hard. It's hard and no one understands. Hahaha)

How many practices have you guys had this year? I kid you not, we've had only one where everyone (but Amanuel) showed up.

THAT'S HOW I FELT TOO BUT NOOOO, NOW YOU CAN'T COME AND I AM DROWNING IN DISAPPOINTMENT.
Oh, I see. Sadface...everything coincides on the fifteenth. I think Amanuel must be busy with his Parliamentarian duties, and I forgot...Jireh's in Germany. T-T Maybe next Certamen...
Oh! Could you please say hi to everyone for me? I miss them!

(No, I totally understand you. But Latin...Latin IS our lives. XD)

Umm. We've tried to have two practices a week; I'm not sure what the exact number is overall. They're not always full team practices, though; there have been several occasions when it's just me, my friend (he's new to Certamen this year), and/or the teacher. We're going to try to have this epic Latin party-practice thing next week on Wednesday, though. XD

What is with all this apathy for Certamen??? You should see the texts Nick sends as excuses for not showing up for Certamen. :I Good idea luring people with a party, maybe we should try it! Hahahaha xDD

Have you begun translating Ecce yet? Eutropius is a bit dry after the Cornelii, no? )

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Aelfgiva In reply to hammyndizzy [2011-10-09 12:59:55 +0000 UTC]

I don't know if I even want to see these texts...
You should try a party! Make sure to bake a cake and bring it to lure people in. (;

Ugh, don't get me started on Eutropius. There is a reason why his works are called the Breviarium...aka: History for Little Roman Kids! After translating Caesar, my life will never be the same again, lololol. (Oh, Caesar, why do you spoil me so...?!)
Have you read Catullus yet? For me, Catullus ranges between extremely hilarious and slightly disturbing.

hammyndizzy In reply to Aelfgiva [2011-10-09 13:30:50 +0000 UTC]

Oh nono, they're always these innocoent little texts saying he's saving the world with puppies or something.

Friday
"i mite hav to go to a breast cancer walk" "Very sweet of you" "r u bein sarcastic?"
At another practice, he's not here, so I text him
"Where are you?!?" "home doin hw latin"

Shannon was furious. We might need that cake to reconcile.

As for Eutropius, I don't know why, but when I read his account of Cleopatra's motives, I burst out laughing. And he just goes on and on about Augustus. Not that I'm complaining too much, I guess. I'm glad they started out with pretty easy historical context, because my translating skills are SO rusty.
Weh! I haven't reached Catullus yet, but I have eyeballed over a few of Lesbia poems. I am so looking forward to them. That and In Catalinam. (Oops behind much.)

1. I think it'll be a sculpture, so I'll show you the concept art for it. It was inspired by the antikythera mechanism :geek:
2. Ohmygod, I would LOVE to work with you!! Unless it involves speaking... or stages. Then I'll just be rooting for you. Stage fright -_-
