Pain is fleeting. Glory lasts. Girls dig scars.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Oh, please be kidding.

See, if it were about drinking, I'd have gotten it. Carmina Burana gave me that much.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
please be kidding.
That was my best guess (not that my Latin's up to much).

I need to put Night Court on my DVD wish list.
I'll probably be getting a few of the later seasons when they're released--the Markie Post years were the best overall, even if they are missing the incomparable Selma Diamond.

No, I'm pretty sure.
Dolor est fugax. Gloria perennis. Puellae cicatricabus gaudent.
Dolor=pain, fugax = fleeting. Gloria=glory perennis = lasts. Puellae=girls cicatrwhatev=scars gaudent = gotta be dig, at this point.

Yeah, I see it now. Like I said, my Latin is largely ecclesiastical texts and Carmina. Carmina had me covered for "puellae," and the church covered "gaudent", "gloria", and "dolor".
The internet is weird.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I can't even.
Dolor=pain, fugax = fleeting. Gloria=glory perennis = lasts. Puellae=girls cicatrwhatev=scars gaudent = gotta be dig, at this point.
Yes. Glory is forever/endures.
Gaudent is "regard with pleasure/approval", good fit for digs, I'd say.
The translation isn't my work, but that of a friend who is a working latin teacher (and kickass Jeopardy/Millionaire player). I think it is a keeper. Words to live by (in the case of some of my friends, close enough to literally).
