More from ~Genidoxian

:-untitled-:Your voiceless lullaby lingers in the air, even when you're dreaming.
Unable to sleep, my thoughts are not quite so sweet, utterly polluted with waking nightmares.

A jolt of hope strikes my mind.  My fingers slide down your back, searching every crevice.
Groggily, you sit up, blinking in the darkness.
"What are you doing?" you ask.
It's a perfectly valid question.
"I'm looking for your wings," I reply.
"What wings?"
"I know you're hiding them."
You scarcely feel my gossamer touch, unchanged despite everything else.
"I don't understand," you say, reaching your arms past me (so short compared to mine, you have to lean closer
Shad-Part 7 "I thought you couldn't fly because you were hurt."
I never once said that.  You assume too much.
"But your ribs..."
It's much easier for me to fly than it is to walk.  
Cracked desert ground sped beneath them, indistinguishable shapes passing by in a blur.  The noonday sun had risen swiftly, beating down mercilessly upon them.  Only the strong headwind made the heat relatively bearable.
Shad insisted that they flew side-by-side this time, holding hands so they could communicate over the deafening rush of air.
"Where are we going?"
A city.
Amy looked over at him in surprise, shielding her face from the wind with her free hand.  H
Dis-ap-pearThis isn’t right
Say goodnight
I’m about to disappear

Don’t be alarmed
You’ll see me now and then
I’ll pass you in the hall
Sit across from you at lunch
Help you study for that test

But you won’t even know my name
I’m just that ordinary mortal
With the glowing blue eyes
...and you’ll know I’m not quite normal

You’ll ask me again
And again
But I won’t answer
Once the memories start to flow
They’ll overtake you like a cancer

I won’t remind you of a thing
From our convoluted past...
...you should have known this wouldn’t last

This isn’t right
Say good

This is how I study for the National Latin Exam. :B

Feel free to point out any grammar errors or poor word choices.

Literal translation (including word order)
1: Hello, computer. I desire one free internet, if it pleases you. (Latin has no true "please". "Si placat te" is the closest expression used.)
2: Maaayybeee if these wires I twiddle...
>>You're an idiot.
>>What, no, why?
3: To demonstrate, a picture of your epic failure with my iPhone I will take.

For those of you who are as nerdy as me, I have officially decided that the Latin for "iPhone" is fifth declension masculine. It just so happens that the ablative form ends in "e". :P

YESYESYESYESYES!!! AMO TE!!!

By the way, that 'demonstrare' would work better if you put it after an 'ut' to make it a purpose clause (make demonstrare subjunctive); then you would move that whole purpose clause to the end of the sentence.

But FREAKIN' FANTASTIC JOB!!!

I always thought 'computer' was already a Latin word.

For please can't you also say "amabo te", "I will love you". I've never seen the way you said it , so for all I know it might be better, but my Latin professor and our book of speaker(Cicero, etc.) uses that. Just wondering. Thought this was an awesome idea by the way.

:3 This makes my day. I wish I knew enough Latin to help the project along. :| I'll just have to laugh at it instead.

And again...
1: "ordinatre" := "ordinator", "capto" := "velim", "si placat te" := "si tibi videtur"
2: "hanc filum inquieto" := "haec fila inter se immittam"
3: "demonstrare" := "ad demonstrandum" or "ut demonstrem", "picturam" := "imaginem", "accipiam" := "faciam"
Nice job, btw!
