Hi guys! Not dead. Just mostly on Tumblr these days. (Though I advise you to steer clear if you're not a fan of Tom Hiddleston, because it's pretty much been 90% him since I went to see The Avengers. I am smitten and I regret NOTHING ( Read more... )

Latin: Epic is the best name for a subject ever. Your language subjects always sound so interesting, I wish I'd had room for some of that stuff!

And omg, I'll join a choir with you! I spent pretty much my entire undergrad trying to find someone who'd join the choral society with me. Except they rehearse Wednesday nights and I have cheerleading at that time now :(

BTW, I posted on your FB wall - we should go eat cake with Mags :)

To be fair, they do require heaps and heaps of time... I think it pays off, but then, this is my major. If I wasn't enjoying myself, I'd be in deep trouble!

I'm sure there's some kind of casual group around; I'd rather do something like that anyway. I don't mind performing, but I prefer to sing for fun, you know? And formal chorale tends to have very...well, uptight songs.

I'm free during the last week of the holidays, if you're still interested! (Sorry for not checking FB earlier - I really do have to make that thing a habit somehow.)

One day I'll just make you teach me all of them. Yep. :D It's always great to have a major you enjoy, I went through part of a degree that I wasn't enjoying at all and I was so unhappy that year! (I ended up quitting.)

If you find something, let me know! As long as it fits in around my uni and cheerleading, I'm definitely up for it; I miss singing! I haven't done any (except little bits at music camp) since, like, year 9. :'(

Last week of the hols sounds good to me! Any days in particular? I'll chat to Mags too and we can figure out a time that suits all of us, I can't wait! My little readingchick is all grown up. :'D

That could take a while. But I'm up for it, if the time could be found!

Ugh, that's awful! I'll definitely let you know if I find something.

Hmm. Well, I'm free any day of the week - but there's a concert by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra at the Town Hall on Monday night. Beethoven's 5th and the Roman Pines, apparently. I was thinking of going. Perhaps we could make it a group thing?

LMAO, welcome to the club of people ruined by Tom. It's like the plague, really. Except incomparably enjoyable, of course.

Also, yay for doing better. I miss dancing terribly too... do have fun! :D

He is everything that I have ever found attractive in one person. It is very unfair, and yet it is somehow impossible to be annoyed with him! As you say, incomparably enjoyable. (And I like your choice of journal headings. ;) I have that quote up on my board of inspiration.)

Oh, I plan to. :D What kind of dancing did you learn?

He's quite incredible that way, isn't he? Like someone took all the good stuff and made a human being with it. And then added a dash of rainbows and sparkles. I still stand by my word that he is actually the Antichrist or something. Here to lead us to our downfall.

Basically everything that leaves his mouth is gold. But that one really stuck with me. :) It's a beautiful quote.

I did international standard and international Latin dances, but Latin was always closer to my heart. I went down sick at one point and never got back into it.

If he is the Antichrist, then Armageddon (or Ragnarok, should I say? ;)) is going to be far more enjoyable than I had previously believed.

Yes. And it is. It makes me feel like I can do anything, that quote.

That's a pity! I've seen a little bit of Latin dancing and it looks like a lot of fun.
