* I do admit to owning four different Winnie the Pooh plushies, but I am very much of the opinion that it is a virtual impossibility to have too many Winnie the Pooh plushies. As Winnie the Pooh is probably my most favorite of philosophers, I am convinced that any one who takes the time to give me anything that stands as an homage to Pooh truly understands my persona. :D

So the class may be hard as hell, and I feel like I'm falling into a pit of conjugation-y despair the entire time, but I'm almost positive I have chosen the best latin teacher I possibly could find. He is so awesome and I'm pretty sure he might know it, but loves being the nerdy awesome that I have strived my entire life to become. I am bleeding from my eyeballs with declensions and verbs and all sorts of disastrous goodies (and I've only done the first two chapters), and I don't think I've liked a class more (though Raja, from Astronomy, who dressed up as a Black Hole with an Afro is pretty close).Magister Blood: Do you know where the word 'fuck' comes from? It's actually from Latin. From the verb 'fornicare,' which actually comes from the word 'fornix.' Can anyone tell me what a 'fornix' is?
Student: It's a whorehouse.
Magister Blood: No! It is NOT a whorehouse. It is a PART of a whore house!"
• “You know the term double-entendre. I’m pretty sure Fergie here has mastered the ‘single entendre!’”
• “Now the ‘Vocative’ case is just a direct address, and in the book, it is usually shown with an ‘Oh’ then blah blah blah. Like you guys would say, “Oh, Magister. Spare us today! Let us go early!” To which I would reply, “Oh no, students! We’re going to work on Fergie’s ‘My Humps!’”
• "Okay, so. A verb is at the bar, and he's getting a drink when suddenly a smokin' hot noun comes in. Naturally the verb walks up to the noun and says "Hey, baby. Wanna go back to my place and conjugate?" but the noun says, "I'm sorry, I must decline. I'm banned from telling that joke at home."
• "There's something going wrong with our language recently, where the vowels are collapsing. Now I know what you're thinking. "Oh god, not the ocean levels rising! Not the vowels collapsing! Anything but that!"
Magister Blood is my new best friend... I go to the best school ever.

I gotta feeling (ooh-ooh!)
That tonight's gonna be a good night!
Yes, tonight's gonna be a good night!
Yeah tonight's gonna be a good, good night!
(Excuse the completely inside joke of an icon. It's from Looking for Group which is an awesome webcomic, and I'm thinking of reading it from the beginning, since it actually isn't that long... rec'd to all of you. :P)
