FLavius Valerius Constantinus

Oh its that damn time of the year again when you've just found out, crap, I just wasted a year of life and don't really want to go further in age(Imma also feel horrible with all these tests too). So it as with me tomorrow, I wish I was fifteen again. But then again, it's not so bad since turning 16, that can only mean a drivers license. Only thing I can wish is for an Xbox 360, a girlfriend, grow 6 inches taller(I'm only 5'8), and do really well in the upcoming lacrosse season. About lacrosse, turns out our JV team just got even smaller. Barely anyone but 3 went up to varsity, but the problem is we barely have any defenders left except for just a bunch of middies and attacks. But then theres surprising a huge@// freshmen team, I suppose only the best freshmen gets moved up, that is defending. Surprisingly for myself I'm only 5'8 yet I'm a longstick middie(amazingly fun position). As for school, I've been turning into relatively a major smart@// in literal sense. However, I'm still one of the cool people or popular whatever you call it. At my school, people are pretty nice unlike public schools who have an actually social system with the nerds, jocks... At my school, half the jocks are the smart people(including me) while the nerds(well the smart people) are actually cool people and they're usually thespians...Rather complicated high school is ain't it... Also upcoming is probably the last Certamen. Its a sectional competition between schools as to who is the best Latin team. For some reason my team always comes in second because the school in first place is an extreme magnet school, which means they are full of the weirdest but smartest kids ever. The school is called Northside Prep they are from, but no offense, these kids are the weirdass types who bullies would have fun with. Even their image and presentation (clothes, untidy hair, unshavened) gives further support. Oh another major reason, the damn N-side bunch all have more than 4 years(or 8 years) of Latin because they learned in grade school. As for me and my friends(team) most of us didn't start Latin until when we first started freshmen year. So you can see it is a huge mismatch, butnevertheless, we always come in second place and we also manage to always come close to beating them. [sORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE, JUST VENTING FRUSTRATION AT THE INURIAS.

Quidque jocosum sunt. (or) Quidque ridiculum sunt. I dared not use omne or something like it because I wasn't too sure if the thing existed as a noun in any form.

I agree totally. Who knows, probably 500 years from now, they might mistakenly call English Latin because all of the derivatives.

The answer is yes and no. In terms of diction(because the Church still create their own latin words) and a few important forms, no (the Church has a habit of leaving out the verbs which annoys me). The way you read,pronounce, and construct it is very close but also fairly dissimilar.

would you be so kind as to ask about these-alavana (is this beautiful or sacred/notable) as a pre name ie:Alavna Carvettorium? Vircovicium. Vindolanda (white land?) .Medobogdium. Glannaventa (is supply port really correct?) Olinacum . Galava. Maia and Blatobulgium. I would be most grateful for any help. Sure thing, I'll ask my teacher that.

Everyone is entitled to their beliefs but saying a human being is infallible/invincible in one field or another is kinda... If someone were to be asassinated, then it is a failure on small scale because the point is to stay alive. So really, saying that you were just too good that they had to murder you is well off. Also, not every great person met an ugly fate(Constantine, Augustus, et alia didn't die horribly did they) although it holds true for some great figures.

Awesome song damn it.

Bah! Christianity will happen and you know that. Anyways if Christianity so ever gets a firm footing in Greece, well lets just say Greek people are extremely proud/stubborn. "Cough" I wouldn't use the word puella(even though its ok) it just denotes a girl of young age.' Also, we wouldn't want to 'mar'(physically abuse/damage) our wives do we, but I believe you said marrying anyways.

A bust of Caesar and give it to Cato as a souvenir. Also, any kind of proof of Jesus.

My school: A (93-100) B (85-92) C (77-84) you get the drift

May I request Ancient Latin fonts if you have any Pantagathus.

I might be extremely wrong, but Sulla or inaccurate Sylla means red for his very red skin.

Damn, I'm only in high school, apparently your story just gives me a jitter. Well I know one thing for sure, I need a damn job.

link to article What is probably the richest sunken treasure in the world, the Sussex, a British warship that went to the bottom of the Mediterranean in 1694 with a cargo of coins now worth up to $4 billion, has become embroiled in a bitter diplomatic dispute that pits Spain against Britain, the United States and an American company that wants to salvage the wreck. The conflict turns on arcane and often disputed aspects of international law that govern sovereign waters and the rights of shipwreck owners and finders. Spain claims the waters off the coast of Gibraltar. Britain claims the ship, says its decomposing hull rests in the high seas and has struck a deal with the American company, Odyssey Marine Exploration of Tampa, Florida, to split the recovery's proceeds. Last month, the company had its 250-foot, or 76-meter, ship lower a seven-ton robot with lights, cameras and flexible arms to begin an archaeological survey, the first step in recovery of the wreckage of the ship, which lies in waters a half-mile, or one kilometer, deep. The goal is positive identification of the wreck and looking for the lost coins, which the company says are most likely gold, nine tons of it...

I doubt that with every ounce of my being... For one, I don't think Fatah really cares that much. They stepped to the side before all the votes were in. Well they were expecting to win, so why not be alittle lax. But now, say that to the guys in fatigue with guns threatening to kill anyone who joins Hamas.

You do realize the tomb is basically a pit with the skeleton in it. Its really not that big.
