We watched it all night but grew up in spite of it

Story for those of you who play World of Warcraft (the rest of you can go ahead and skip this): I've started raiding with a guild some of my friends are in, and I was in MC with them the other night. I'd finally gotten Vent to work and said something snarky when I let a rogue die. I immediately got several whispers saying "Haha, in guild chat they're saying, "Euridice is a GIRL?" Then half the guild asked in unison: "Is she single?" And these people wonder why they don't have girlfriends . . .

In other news, I'm officially presenting at the Classical Association of the Atlantic States' Convention in Baltimore in October. Spiffy.

Must . . . learn . . . French! And study Greek. And study Latin.

Dianne is coming to visit me!

That's awesome about that presentation stuff. We'll have to come down and visit you when you're in Baltimore.

i want to know what you said. rogues deserve every harsh word they get.
also i'm sad i'm not raiding MC with a guild using Vent. that sounds rad.

Lawl. Now's your chance! Make out an application test on okcupid and tell them about it. Then write the whole thing in Latin.

Then be horrified when some of them can actually read it.

You know Nicole, sometimes I get the feeling you're a bit of a weirdo magnet. I mean, look at the people you were LIVING with!!

My character is a priest, and I believe I said something like: "Oh, I'm supposed to HEAL rogues? Whoops!"
I was immediately invited to join the guild, too.

[johnguenther.livejournal.com]

yeah i would have invited you too

Have I mentioned recently just how much I love you?

Have you gotten to the imperfect of the subjunctive yet? That's a mindfuck.

[fellmama.livejournal.com]

Eh, both Spanish and Latin have an imperfect subjunctive. French grammar doesn't scare me.

wow, i was soooo confused. for a sec i thought you were nathan jones, cause he always posts about wow. (also, he always has female avatars). and so i was like, hey, why would nathan speaking in vent make ppl think he was a girl. anyhow, you should totes tap some wow-14-yr old ass. p.s. where are you living when you get to cornell?

[fellmama.livejournal.com]

I don't have a place to live. Yay. You living in the law school dorm?
