The Finale

Fire awaits at
the end, only cooled by the
blue muse of my dreams.

haha, no problemo. I'm not as active here as I should be either!


¿Cómo es Navidad para todos?

Bien, gracias. No mucho ha pasado ahora. Mi madre está conduciendo para recibir mis abuelos porque ellos no pueden manejar ahora. Son débiles, desafortunadamente. No hemos abierto los regalos. Esperamos para mis abuelos. :)

--> Good, thanks. Not much has happened yet. My mother is getting my grandparents because they can't drive themselves here. They're a little frail, unfortunately. We haven't opened any gifts yet. We're waiting for them. :)

¿Cómo es la Navidad para ti, CiviLies?

Is there a big community on Cockatrice? I normally play with actually magic cards, but on-line sounds fun.

Hmm...not huge, I guess. There are usually around 500-800 people online at a time. Once you register, it's pretty easy to play in a variety of formats, though: casual, legacy, commander, modern, standard, even drafts!

Never Satisfied

Fun is dictated
by when it ends. Vacations:
more stressful than school.

Response to: Magic: The Gathering Klub Posted 7 days ago in Clubs & Crews

Woah, man. Wish I knew this club existed earlier! :D I've been playing for about 5 years, off and on. I'd love to play some of you guys on Cockatrice (downloadable software on which you can play Magic with anyone in the world who also has the app). Just add me to your buddy lists and you'll know when I'm online. I'm TaintedLogic over there as well. ^^

11th Grade (the infamous junior year, yes?)

SAIL

I diffused through walls
like a ghost, flitting between
real life and escape.

10th grade:

Eyes

Pathetic disguise
is in mine. The last of my
kind to just see eyes.

Response to: A Haiku a Day Posted 10 days ago in Writing

9th Grade:

The Beautiful View

I realized my past
meant more to me than present...
so I buried it.

Response to: A Haiku a Day Posted 11 days ago in Writing

Sorry I'm Late

I was too busy
beating myself up rather
than posting haikus.

Anyway, 8th grade this time:

A Melting Pot of Stress

I built the bridge of
efficiency which bowed to
procrastination.

Response to: A Haiku a Day Posted 13 days ago in Writing

I'm going to start another little haiku mini-series today. These ones attempt to encapsulate how I felt about each year of my schooling, starting with 7th grade. Mmm'kay, here it goes:

Changes, Challenges, Choices

Named after the health
curriculum on purpose.
Shut up, Ms. Thorne. Now.

my language is pretty much the same as spanish so i might've mixed up some of the terms, i talk and understand better than i type
I don't think anyone's posted this here yet but i think it's a good way of learning the spanish language. http://www.digitaldialects.com/Spanish.htm

Interesting...it is very similar! In fact, I believe Spanish and Portuguese are considered mutually intelligible. I believe in Spanish, you would say:
No creo que alguien ha publicado eso aquí pero yo pienso que es una buena manera para aprender la lengua Español.

I appreciate the link to that website, though. It's a very useful online source indeed! :D Thank you!

haha, no worries. I'm just a Spanish student too. Welcome to the club!

Your Spanish seems fine to me, but if you'd like a convenient way of translating, I'd recommend these resources over Google Translate (and this goes for everyone, btw):

http://www.spanishdict.com/
http://www.wordreference.com/

These sites are really only good for translating specific words though, not long phrases. If you want to make sure there aren't any errors in an essay you wrote for Spanish or something, I'd hope this thread will turn into a place where people will be willing to "peer edit" that way. In the meantime, I am willing to do so as best I can. :) Sorry, got a little off topic there, haha... ;D
