here is a list. full of stuff.

HERE IS A LIST OF THINGS I THOUGHT ABOUT TODAY:

1) Subjects I want to study and roll around in like a puppy in filth: medieval Celtic languages; translation theory; the history of Romanian; pidgins and creolization; nonstandard Englishes; language preservation and revitalization; languages and writing systems.

(LINGUISTICS ILU.)

2) Other things I want:

a. A BRENDON URIE OF MY OWN. Why so adorable on the Tonight Show? UGH SHUT YOUR STUPID FACE AND YOUR HOMOQUEERNESS AND YOUR ENTIRE SELF. Also I don't really like the song America's Suitehearts much in general, but Joe Troh looked hot, and Pete whirled around in a circle an awful lot without any rhythm related to the song, so I give the entire thing a thumbs up.

b. MORE WAYCEST. Seriously it has been forever you guys, write me some porn. Or if you want I will always accept Pete/Mikey shenanigans instead.

3) Everybody I love is in Boston this weekend. :( THEY HELD A MUSKRATE JAMBOREE AND I DIDN'T COME. There is nothing not right in the world. If I don't get plenty of drunken texts from people -- you know who you are -- I will hold a grudge forever.

and yet i have heard it is the modern language closest to latin! is this true?

[cheshireempress.livejournal.com]

Supposedly that would be Italian, but I haven't studied Romanian or Portuguese enough to say for sure. Why is not enough time to learn all the languages? ;___;

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

That makes sense, but I have also heard that Romanian has some conservative grammatic elements that the others got rid of pretty fast. But I haven't really studied it either, so I don't know if that's true.
