I like shakespeare

I love Shakespeare

I took two full courses on Shakespeare in college (only one was required but I liked it so took the next one as well) and so have officially read all of the plays

Oh I love Shakespeare. I love wading through the language, floundering out of my depth and then making sense of it all. His writing is extraordinarily beautiful when you take the time to appreciate it.

I loved keats
hated the rest of the ones on the course
I'm very very picky about my poetry
my LC poetry essay was about how useless Larkin was


the latest one stuck in my brain recently is:

We are the music makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;—
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.


And before that was

The Old Astronomer to his Pupil

Reach me down my Tycho Brahe, I would know him when we meet,
When I share my later science, sitting humbly at his feet;
He may know the law of all things, yet be ignorant of how
We are working to completion, working on from then to now.

Pray remember that I leave you all my theory complete,
Lacking only certain data for your adding, as is meet,
And remember men will scorn it, ‘tis original and true,
And the obloquy of newness may fall bitterly on you.

But, my pupil, as my pupil you will have learned the worth of scorn,
You have laughed with me at pity, we have joyed at the forlorn.
What for us are all distractions of men’s fellowship and smiles;
What for us the Goddess Pleasure with her meretricious wiles!

You may tell that German College that their honor comes too late,
But they must not waste repentance on the grizzly savant’s fate.
Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light;
I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.

-Sarah Williams

Um, that was Wordsworth.

Also, completely different type of English (Old vs. Modern, I believe).

Shakespeare didn't write in Old English, Old English is essentially a different language (see Bluewolf Beowulf):

HWÆT, WE GAR-DEna in geardagum,
þeodcyninga þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!
oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,
monegum mægþum meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas, syððanærest wearð
feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum weorðmyndum þah,
oð þæt him æghwylc ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan; þæt wæs god cyning!

Shakespeare's language was actually an early version of Modern English.

And now I can't get this out of my head

same with COD for me, had some hilarious nights playing with the boards lads

ah, I still remember some late night WoW sessions where we played into the wee hours trying to kill some new boss. the sense of achievement when you finally get one down after hours of trying is just... wow.

does anyone else get a headache from having their hair in a ponytail/bun or am i just a delicate flower

Nope, I get that all the time, which is why I try not to tie it up much at all. there's also risk of traction alopecia :eek:

Thanks very much everyone, I ran out of free texts yesterday and didn't realise and ate all my credit as a result...) so I'll have to wait until tomorrow when I get credit to text him now. Hopefully he'll be free next week so I can meet up with him and talk to him properly, he's leaving in about three weeks so I know he'll be super busy again in a while even though he finishes exams next week too! I know it's not going to turn out well but it's just something I have to do, even if the nerves are killing me and I'm not even close to doing it yet

Where do you study law? I do it in DCU..

I am meant to be in the library studying but I woke up with an awful pounding head So I'm gonna take a day off

I'm just finishing second year in Trinity now Do you do pure law or do you take another subject along with it? Enjoy your day off, everyone knows you can't study with a headache anyway

Studying is not going well. If only this material was slightly more interesting it'd be grand but it's dull as dish water!

Ah ok, it's been quite some time since I've done anything like that and most of the stuff from college has pushed a lot of the stuff out of my head.

Oh yeah, I know all about Leroy Jenkins

In fact, I was a total Leroy in my playstyle. I was a warrior tank, which could be a bit difficult if I didn't have enough rage (rage is a resource you get to do all your special attacks, and you only get it by having monsters beat on you) and too often I'd have overeager damage dealers attacking stuff before I had a chance to even get any rage. so in order to actually be able to do anything at all, I had to run ahead of everyone and make sure I was the first person to attack. this evolved into me rushing ahead of everyone else, and as I geared up, sometimes having stuff dead before the rest of the group even caught up.

people were astonished I was able to stay alive, because I would often run far out of range of healers, but I was very good at managing cooldowns, self healing and chaining stuns, so I kept my damage intake manageable. it got to the point that I was able to clear 5-man instances at insane speed, chain-pulling mobs and staying ahead of my group.

so, so much fun

Was it the season finale? I'm super excited for it!

Rotting around now for notes I made out about a month ago and there's no sign of them If I can't find them I just won't have time to do the topic and that'd be fairly disastrous. Bah, there are way too many sheets of white/yellow paper to look through at all effectively!
