As [profile] gryphonvere, my Canadian alter ego, can easily tell you, I traditionally have no tolerance for soppiness. Very matter-of-fact person, I am. With high standards regarding praise literature.
However, my brain has been eaten by PinkNFluffies. I am right ashamed of myself. Ic, dysig ond unsnottor, am gleeing over this, despite the fact that it is incomprehensible to me, and probably terribly written as well.

[profile] goblinpaladin , meanwhile, should be commended for this novel way of memorising gramatical structures. I, when preparing my french exam, wrote a series of short exercises about students failing exams. He writes me letters in Latin! *glees*

mea mellita ami,

ego amo te. novisti me amam te. hoc per gestum et tactum et aspectum
factum erat. dicimus. dicimus nimis, si quid. et nunc amor est.

felicior est te amatoris. cum dico velle manere te, id in animo
habere. stultam est! scio illud. sed volo esse te. ego amo te.

hic amor nos vicit. is nostrae turres et propugnaculo ballistis
delevit, et oppida nostrarum animarum. potvisti non repugnare.

si quid evenerit, erimus bene. erimus una. barbari mei mali imperium
nostri amoris viceru
nt non1. habemus inter se, et illud satis est.

depereo te, mea ami. femina optima es, omnum feminae,

tuus brenton.

1: i am instructed to correct that sentence with: barbari mei mali imperium
nostri amoris non vincient.
But i like his grammar faulty.

 No one who actually reads Latin is allowed to give me a translation before B does. Bablefish offerings and general mockery are both welcome.

Let's see here...

My millipede Amy,

Your ego is a moat. Me and mum find this quite novel. As per the gestation tactics of the aspect-ratio of erratic factions... dismiss. Dismiss nimbly, like a squid! And no more estimates.

Felicity, the animator, comes with all manner of dice and vellum, and an animal-hair beret. Sultanas for all! Scorpions diluted! So volatile, in essence. Your ego is a moat.

Hiccups visit no more. If Nostradamus predicts pugnacious ballistics delivered, oppose Nostradamus with animals! Preposterous is his repugnance!

The evening squids have erroneously been. Erroneous once! Barbara (hey, that's me!) is mainly under imperius curse, more by the nostrils, not visceral. He must interest you, with diluted satin estimates.

Desperate times, my Amy! Feminists optimise as ominous feminists!

Trust Brenton.

...

..you're right, B. Translating latin sure is hard work.

OMG YOU ARE AWESOME!

I need a *WINNAR* icon for moments like this. Pookie will have to do for now.

Said it before and I'll say it again, I live to please! :D

oops, spoke to soon! I think [livejournal.com profile] phrasemuffin has just defeated you. Although he is cheating by means of Years Of Catholicism.

I mention nuns and veneration once (though seperately), and you accuse me of cheating Catholicly? That's not fair :(

it's not the nuns... it's the years of exposure to a latin-soaked liturgy and hymns and stuff :)

I have only ever attended one mass in Latin, I will have you know. And while, yes, there is latin on certain feast days, it is not a regular thing... as far as I remember. I, personally, would have loved to have more Gregorian Chant and been to a greater number of Latin High Masses.

So there. :P No cheating on my part. I even tucked away my Latin dictionary just to be safe.

Not that real Latin has anything to do with this, I might add, and that no cheating was really possible...

noooooooooo

Well, I'm still going to cling to some Victory Points maintaining that mine came first, whatever the order of these comments might suggest to the casual browser.

SO NEENER NEENER to you, O Catholic-cheating latin-translating romantic hearted musician-muffin, your ego is no moat at all!

no, my heart is a stonewall :P And I would like to contest such accusations of my Catholic-cheatingness further.

I would, however, make no claim on your remaining Victory Points; you have won them fair and square. Feel free to share the spotlight with me; there is plenty of room on the stage for two :)

I did, of course, mean "no, my ego is a stonewall"

*twitters*

Stonewall-egoed-musician-muffin you shall be, then!

Of course, now that you have offered to share the spotlight, I'll quietly admit that I generally am much happier in the orchestra pit, anyway. ;)
