...by the lovely

I'm supposed to write 8 random things about myself... I've a feeling I did this once before but, meh, I'll do it again. XD
1. My favourite ice-cream flavour is Cookies 'n Cream from Cold Rock, with cookie dough and marshmallows mixed in.
2. My favourite poet is W.B. Yeats.

3. I've been learning Japanese since I was 13, but I'm nowhere near fluent and I get so frustrated with it all the time. -_-;
4. My new favourite drink is raspberry hot chocolate. The cafe at my uni makes the BEST ones I've ever tasted.

5. In the future, I would LOVE to study ancient history at Oxford or Cambridge. *dreams*
6. I love doing research for assignments, probably more than I enjoy actually writing them.
7. I've recently discovered that classical music is reeeeeally lovely, and quite perfect to listen to while studying.

8. To calm myself down if I'm stressed, I lie on my bed and listen to Belle and Sebastian.
I am sooooooo uninteresting. XD
Thank you to

for pointing out that I'm actually supposed to tag people.

I therefore tag...

(but you don't have to do it if you don't want to!)
Oh! After much consideration, I've decided to submit the following poems to the competition...
Dictionary Poem
Heliocentrism
A Mistresspiece
To a Friend
I personally feel that they're some of my better poems. I was very happy with 'Admiring the Classicist' but it's too personal to submit to a competition. I'd die if it actually won anything.

In other news, I intend to go to my uni's Ancient History day on Saturday. It should be pretty awesome, since the theme is 'The Many Faces of Egypt'.

Do you go by any other names? I can't believe I'd just forget you. O_o
Heh, thanks for the reassurance. I suspect I am indeed a spaz.

I only know ancient authors in translation too... But I've been learning ancient Greek since last year in the hope that one day I'll be able to read ancient authors in their original language. ^_^
Ahh, I really don't know Catullus at all... So you're giving me reading too! Sappho unfortunately only survives through a few fragments and, if I remember correctly, one complete poem, a 'Hymn to Aphrodite'.

This is the best site for Sappho's poems that I've found so far.

I'd like to watch you.
I only know ancient authors in English translation, which probably means I don't know them at all.
I'm more familiar with Catullus than with Sappho (more reading to do)

They say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well I think the guns help. If you stood
there and yelled BANG, I don't think you'd kill too many people.
