Wow! Mika re-tweeted what you said! How exciting!

Haha! Nerds unite! I love it. That does sound interesting! I need to check out the platypus one also- that sounds excellent! I'm reading The Aeneid in English (and Latin, actually, but that's for school) right now, and it's pretty nice. Now I have something for when I finish!

Dude! That would be awesome! We could also get one of those things that you attach to the back of the plane and put banners on, and then print some lyrics on there and fly around with then. That would be marvelous. Cookies and a baseball bat! Ha!

Fascinating! We see the sun EVERY FREAKIN' DAY down here, so when it's totally overcast it's really fun! Snow is really nice, but that's even more rare down here. They usually call off school when it does snow, though, so we can make the most of it!

Exactly! Languages are just like species! I recently read a book about the origin of language (it was called "The First Word" and was really awesome if that's the kind of stuff you're interested in!), and it made lots of comparisons like that... Like, when a language goes extinct, we can never resurrect it! We'll never know what it sounded like! Knowing the Latin roots for words is really interesting, but even more interesting are the words that have nothing to do with any other language! Where did those come from? Did someone just make them up? Interesting stuff!

Hot damn? Ha!

That would be wonderful! I'd fly around in the spiffiest plane in the skies!

That's so wonderful! My favorite weather is when the sky is completely overcast with clouds, and it's really cold (so cold that nobody else eats lunch outside, so my best friend and I can dance around and act silly with nobody else around)... but, as you can imagine, that doesn't happen that much here in Texas

Haha! I love to learn grammar rules in other languages, but I have to work really hard on Vocabulary. But I think that's also interesting, so I spend plenty of time learning them!

Haha! I used to watch that show! But that would be amazing! People from other places are always interesting.

Yeah! That would be so fantastic! I'm also going to learn to be a pilot so I can fly myself places! Then, we could have an MFC road-trip, except, air-trip! That would be amazing!

Indeed! I love that! It hasn't rained for quite a long time, and everything is blowing about! It's delicious!

I am hesitant to say that I am a linguistic person, because I really like Latin, but I don't know whether it's just that, or all languages. That's why I'm learning Spanish right now- to see if I like it!

That would be so awesome! It would be fascinating to talk to people in totally different cultures without having to worry about the language barrier!

I know she lives here, but she hasn't been here for too long, right? We've been meaning to contact her and go eat lunch together or something! And it is indeed roasting- It's 100 degrees almost every day! But right now there is a thunderstorm! I love it!

I'm glad you liked it. It thought it was hilarious also

Mandarin??? That's so awesome! That's on my list of languages I'm going to learn after I finish Latin and Spanish. Along with Russian and Arabic.

I live in Austin, Texas! It's a great place

They have Latin class at my school! I originally signed up because it supposedly improves your SAT score, but now I've kept taking it because I love it so much! This year I'm taking AP to try to get college credit for it. Do they not have Latin at your school?

Linguam latinam loquor... pessime. (I speak Latin... very badly.) But I still love it! You should learn!

Spiffy gibberish . Thank you

Yes, I think it's very interesting! I love Latin, so everything associated with it is very interesting to me.

Thank you! To be honest, I picked it out a bunch of some random gibberish that was the product of my sister and I banging on the keyboard .

I like your username a lot. I just wanted to tell you .

They're brilliant! My favorite one is the one of Mika with Spock's head on it. I saved it on my iPod, and my best friend and I giggle about it at lunch when we're looking through my other pictures of Mika .

Carla, have I ever told you that you are my favorite MFCer? Your pictures of Mika make me laugh every time I see them. Keep up the good work!!! They're one of the reasons I love this place. So silly and wonderful!
