Hey I've done that! I have no idea how I managed to actually finish stuff in High School.

Although don't expect me to speak Swedish, I've forgotten everything (on purpose). It's just extremely difficult to master the articles and grmmar, unless you've grown hearing it. Living in eastern part of Finland, Russian has always been more "real". I might even remember a few random words.

I bearly passed Spanish. I understand some of it and I can read it more than I speak. At least I know how to say "I don't speak Spanish" and "Where's the bathroom"

I would love to do a moot meet.

I've had to do that when I multiquote people

It's just so damn difficult. And as for Finnish, we have almost the greatest number of grammatical cases, making Finnish rather difficult to grasp. BTW, you gained a lot of respect from me by adding the "vote" in Finnish to your siggy.

Generally we're smart, individually stupid.

Haha sorry I meant oral. When we say oral in Norwegian we say 'verbalt' and I was kinda confusing the two.

Scandinavian is easy C'mon I know people from Asia and Africa who learn the language in a few months (Norwegian that is). Maybe Norwegian is the easier of the three, though I imagine Danish to be quite easy too since its basically the exactly same written language just different pronounciation. And you Finns with the most complicated language in Europe should have a laugh learning Scandinavian

London is awesome, and partying, hiking, having a feast by the fire would be brilliant! Especially in the English countryside with the Tolkien-feel and all=) Shame I can't bring my guitar then we could all sing into the night...sigh

Anyways this summer looks kinda booked for me, though there's the faintest possibility that I have time in the 3rd week of July. But if we plan a bit ahead we could pull this off! Maybe in 2010 or something=)

That's because you're the ultimate multi-quoter on the planet Acally. You're the Queen. Her Highest Highness of Multi-Quoting!

Thoust doth quoteth in amazing plentifulness!

Does that qualify as ass-kissing?

*P.S. I killed some of your smilies Noble.. it was either mine or yours=)*

[Mari]

We have rules for exceptions too. And we have exceptions to the rules for exceptions...
And for some things we don't have rules, you just have to know it/ feel it.
Dutch is weird But a nice language.

Apperantly, this is because of my "Do you paintball?" question when she started her splat attack. We had a discussion about that earlier, and I guess she thought it was a critique or something.

I just thought she had taken it up as a hobby. Yer touchy Sis...

[Mari]

Oh, now I see. *huggles both Sis and Sane*
Look, the sun came out

*tackle glomps Mari*

Off I go into the wilderness! Yaaay!

Bye.

To shoot cute itty bitty little animals? (Wasn't it you who had those guns?)

CH, next year is my civil service. Damn... Should we try that date, what was it, 3rd week of July, you said? Mootmeetmootmeetmoot... Hey, I have to be weird sometimes.

EDIT: Can I post my lyrics here, or should I do it in the Writers Workshop?

[Mari]

*is tackle glomped and grins a stupid huge grin* I missed being glomped.
We gotta do a pillowfight that ends in random glomping sometime. ^_^

I reeeeally hope I'm not going to be able to make a Europe-moot this Summer. Not because I don't want to meet up, but because I hope my US-plans are going on as planned. I'm feeling a lot better, so if the doc declares me healthy, I can FINALLY start to do some planning...
Mind you, in the original plan, I would have finished planning by the end of February already. Stupid hypothyroid

I'm off to the library in a few minutes. If there's a heaven on earth, it's gotta be somewhere in a library!

Civil service ey.. well when the summer comes just tell them you're going to England on an Entmoot-trip to seek out the deeper meanings of the Finnish soul in the form of the Elven language. Your highest possible contribution to civil service=) Noble, they will nod their heads in awe of your Quest and willingly pay for the plane ticket to London. Trust me on this one

Perhaps 3rd week of July, and that is also at around the height of the festivalseason in England I believe so we would have many places to choose from!
What a trip this could be

[Mari]

Erm... what? o_O

Would you know my name?
If I saw you in heaven?
Would we be the same?
etc.


I seriously dislike the song 'Stairways to Heaven'...

Lol the evil

Just thought that the song's name is a bad omen.

You'd DARE try and strangle me!?!? Wahahaha! That's so funny! *gets out her mace and whistles for Aeran and Bunicula* You are so going to regret that...

And yes, I dislike it. It was a summerhit here one summer so I heard it one too many times... >_<

Nah. It'll be just fine

Lol um Stairway to Heaven is a brilliant classic of a rock song from 1971 by Led Zeppelin. It's a guitar masterpiece. It lasts for 8 minutes and 4 seconds (at least on my Ipod) so I'm very curious as to how the entire song was a summer hit...
Summer hits are usually the result of excess radio playing time and most radiostations never play anything close to past the 8 minute mark. It's usually confined to 2 and a half, at the most 3 and a half minutes.

Something tells me you've been listening to some remixed, radio version and that means you've not really heard Stairway to Heaven in said summer

THIS would be an aggressive response. "Since when", followed by an attack. Particularly in the context of having previously discussed it.

Yup, touchy. Deal with it. It doesn't cost any more to be nice to me. However, we're good, now.

I know it was a remix, but the title is still the same. Let's see... I think it was the Robbie Williams version. Is that possible?
I'm sure my dad has the Led Zeppelin version somewhere, but this song has totally lost its charm to me.

Sis, glad to have you back.
So... has anyone given thought to that pillowfight plan of mine?

[sisterandcousinandaunt]

Not really, Mari. I've been planing in containers all morning, so I can't help but feel I'm surrounded by breakables, even here.

And the doctor took me off tea, which I haven't adjusted to yet...particularly at teatime.

[Mari]

Why can't you have tea!? Is this some new form of torture or something? *looks suspicious*
Oh wait, I remember why. Oh, that sucks! Are there more things you had to give up?

*sings a children's song*

Lol()... If Robbie Williams really did cover 'Stairways to Heaven' it, I can assure you, would NOT even REMOTELY sound like the original. Unless he actually stood and played with the band it would be next to pointless calling it the same song!!!

And so what if the title is the same. There's the Lord of the Rings and then there's The Lord of the Rings. A book and a movie. Same thing huh?

Funny actually, Led Zeppelin have made no less than three songs with a inspiration from the Lord of the Rings. "The Battle of Evermore", "Misty Mountain Hop" and "Over the Hills and Far Away"

*Puts on Stairway to Heaven at 5.52 and listens to the guitar solo voted the best solo of all time by Total Guitar Magazine*
