| sich aufregen |
sich aufregen :: to get excited
I found it! I found it! (or rather, James found it... but never mind that... it's found)
*ahem*
"But love is blind, and lovers cannot see/ The pretty follies that themselves commit"
The Merchant of Venice Act II, Scene 6, Lines 38-39 (I think). Mine, it's 2, 5, 92-93. And James' is 2, 6, 36-37. *sigh* silly... *sniffs* now i can't rely on my birthday prezzie...
I've had it stuck in my head, but couldn't find it. Lynn thought that it was A Midsummer Night's Dream... I remember hearing it somewhere (possibly one of the books I've read over the years) and so I googled it... The Merchant of Venice. Should have remembered that from year 9... *shrugs* ah well... It's not like we ever went in depth in any Shakespearan play... |

extraire :: to quote
Lynn knows what I'm quoting from...
Sonnet 141 (from my gorgeous Complete Works *claps hands excitedly*)
In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
For they in thee a thousand errors note;
But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
Who in despite of view is pleased to dote;
Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted,
Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone,
Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
To any sensual feast with thee alone:
But my five wits nor my five senses can
Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man,
Thy proud hearts slave and vassal wretch to be:
Only my plague thus far I count my gain,
That she that makes me sin awards me pain.
It's the sonnet from Ten things... you know...
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you're always right.
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it that you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call.
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.
Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.
And then she starts crying and runs out of the classroom? That sonnet... well.. YOU CAN STOP COUGHING NOW, LYNN! I posted it... Nay, you can stop being worried... and me? I can stop thinking of all your reactions cos it's creeping me out. *sigh* |

| sich langweilen |
sich langweilen - to be bored
argh... reflexive verbs... eww.. *twitches*. Although, they really aren't that bad...
Checking day today. Basically, we check all our marks and get our final semester score and grade. I'm finished checking and am soooo bored. German reading test was awful. We don't have an average cos the class is so small, but the highest mark was nearly full marks and the lowest nearly a fail. Our poor teacher was nearly in tears. *sigh* now i feel bad. Which reminds me, I have to go check with Mme Chartres that my semester mark is right.
I could be at home, doing my chores, BUT I'm donating blood, so we're staying back so that we can get a lift with one of the teachers. *sigh* 2 whole periods to wait in the library. AND they're stocktaking, so I can't even get the Complete Works out to continue reading A Midsummer Night's Dream.
SO BORED. sooooo booooooored.
hmm... maybe i'll go check if Mme is there. Or maybe I can talk to Heidi Sensei. That might be an idea.

| weinen |
weinen :: same meaning as before
waaaahhhh... von is such a pathetic, crying, emotional time bomb... you have been warned. once you start her off, the slightest thing sets her off again. even Christobel getting emotional about a Christmas card...
she's in such a state that she's actually talking about herself in third person, which she normally leaves up to claire and daniel... but has now decided to start talking in.
um... if you can't decipher this, and i'm guessing you can't... unless you've talked to me before reading this... you will have the full version sometime after next thursday (i.e. the end of testing week)
muah! |

| 泣く |
泣く - to cry
Final House Chapel today... so sad... yet so well done *mental applause for everyone who organised* so funny... us all scrambling for the cards that go with the flowers "if you've got the flowers and the cards MOVE OUT OF THE WAY!!!" "*panics* help! i don't know anyone who's left over! what if i give them the wrong card?!" but it turned out well... we had leftover lilies...
theme: reach for the stars... and guess which song we sang?
When the world, leaves you feeling blue
You can count on me, I will be there for you
When it seems, all your hopes and dreams
Are a million miles away, I will re-assure you
We've got to all stick together
Good friends, there for each other
Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
There's a place waiting just for you
Is a special place where your dreams all come true
Fly away, swim the ocean blue
Drive that open road, leave the past behind you
Don't stop gotta keep moving
Your hopes have gotta keep building
Never ever forget that
I've got you and you've got me, so
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Don't believe in all that you've been told
The sky's the limit you can reach your goal
No-one knows just what the future holds
There ain't nothing you can't be
There's a whole world at your feet
I said reach
Climb every mountain (reach)
Reach for the moon (reach)
Follow that rainbow
And your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher
Reach for the stars
Follow your hearts desire
Reach for the stars
And when that rainbow's shining over you
That's when your dreams will all come true
Reach for the stars
Climb every mountain higher [fade to finish]
i can't believe i cried... if i cried today, i'm so gonna be a basket case tomorrow... *sigh* i think the title would have been more appropriate after tomorrow's chapel... we'll see... |

it's raining! how divine is the rain?! *beams* i like dancing barefoot in the pouring rain too... except it was too cold... so i just stood... and then went back inside... and i'm not claiming that nothing's wrong with me... i know i'm crazy to risk catching a cold... *shrugs* meh... deal with it
We know that God is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandes scale spread before us
~ Jane Eyre, pg 364

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, in your name I will lift up my hands
