Scrappy, I know I've seen that link before, and for some reason I swear it was from you.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Natter 56: ...we need the writers.

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Which I guess makes sense because language can be very mathematical and some people just aren't good at math.
I have a hard time retaining both unless I have a practical application, no matter how many hours I spend on the homework. It's why I didn't get math until logic and statistics, which made perfect sense to me, and why I've been told by language teachers that I can learn, but probably best in an immersion setting.
Signed, still wishes she had the knack for retaining languages not her native ones, will some day see about this immersion thing.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
She sent it to me yesterday and I know I meant to post it, but I don't remember doing it. I might have, though, and blame the cold meds fo making me loopy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Shockingly enough, Plei is me.
Also, Scrappy's link made my day.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Nothing has helped me get over my "Didn't get it the first time, it's hard, I'm no good at it" like teaching myself how to draw.
It's been fifteen years and I *still* struggle. And I cannot (yet) draw actual objects...that is, not superheroes...very well.
But I keep pluggin' away at it.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Take a look at HEMA's product page. You can't order anything and it's in Dutch, but just wait a couple of seconds and watch what happens. [link]
It's a Rube Goldberg Web page!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Plei is much like me. I really want to learn French, the better to help me do my research (not least because British authors, even recent ones, tend to assume an educated reader knows French, and will leave lengthy quotations untranslated, and it drives American me who only ever learned Spanish CRAZY). But I don't know how I'd make it stick in my brain.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I've been told by language teachers that I can learn, but probably best in an immersion setting.
This is mostly me with languages. I tried to study some Hungarian words and phrases, but until I heard it spoken around me, I didn't get it. Once I did hear it, I started picking up other words.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Great page, Scrappy!

not your mom's socks.
But hopefully it'll be clear by the time I leave. While a lot came down in a small period of time, it isn't that bad. OTOH, other people...well, they are that bad.
I didn't know they'd shut down CSL - just that there were accidents at 1pm already. eiyiyi.
safe drive.
