so every year after the juniors finish reading The Great Gatsby my high school english teacher throws a Gatsby party at his huge house and everyone shows up in period clothing and Charlestons to 20s music and my english teacher just wears a suit and stands off to the side staring wistfully out the window the entire night
you guys think I’m joking??
Thats awesome! But at that angle he kinda looks like the owner from Jurassic Park.
Me and a friend are trying to learn Sindarin this summer. I picked up the basics in early highschool, but don’t really remember too much. Anyway, to practice my Tengwar and learn some vocabulary, I transliterated the names of me and some of my friends. Which is fun, because I learned my name, Richard, means great king, and then got to look up how to write a vocative form of “great king”. And then some, like Brittany, I had to take some liberty with. “Brittany” means ‘from Britain’. Britain has uncertain etymology, but an archaic name for the island is ‘Albion’, which means ‘white cliff’. So Brittany=Carasnimuin=From-the-white-cliff-city.
Anyway, if any of you want a name or short phase translated and transliterated, feel free to send me something!
I adore this! I liked all the cool twists my name had to take in order to fit the language.
SOOOOOO what I did yesterday and a little bit of today, just because why not, I printed out some pictures of the characters from Homestuck (just the kids and trolls, I wasn’t sure if the ancestors and things would scare them or not) and took them with me to the class I’m an assistant in. This is a class of twenty-four 4-5 year olds and I asked them to tell me what they thought/liked about the characters I showed them and was actually really surprised with what they had to say about each of them. I only corrected them about genders and that no, the troll’s horns were not candy corn, and yes they had arms, but otherwise let them run free.
They were able to pick up a lot from just little pictures. It was also kind of funny to see their reactions, I kind of wish I could have filmed it. They liked the characters with the most colors, so characters like Nepeta, Eridan and Feferi were really popular. Anyways, they all had a lot to say and so it was kind of hard to write everything down, but here are some of the main gems everyone seemed to agree on.
…Damn that one little girl liked Gamzee so much she wanted to keep the picture I was dying.
she likes jello. you can tell
oh my god these are so cute
How did they get eridan so spot-on omg
The little girl has a crush on Gamzee OMG

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.
That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.
This is why we download.
