I Knew This Was My Moment I’m a naturally shy girl. At school, I’m known for that. I never raise my hand, never answer to questions, never speak in class or discuss my opinions and I am hardly noticeable. But this year I have decided to change that. I know that it’s quite late to decide that but now that I’m in Lower 6 and that in four months time I’ll be seventeen, I’ve become tired of the ‘shy-girl’ tag and I want to be someone different and better. So when I saw the poster in the hall entitled ‘Talent Show’, I knew this was my moment.

I never enjoyed doing biology. I’ve tried so hard but it is as if my brain is not calibrated on photosynthesis and the reproduction system, but I’ve always succeeded to have at least a grade C in it. “But I don’t want to!” my best friend Sarena was telling me, “Seriously, can you imagine someone like me working on a computer? All I know about it is how to la

Misconceptions of Authors + Their Place in Society As I continue writing and looking up tidbits of information, I am unfortunately reminded that the make-up of today's society seems to not appreciate authors as much as they once did. My only question is: why is that?

Surely there have been great technological advances in which it is easier to obtain books (audio books, Kindles, iTunes downloads, and the like); however, it seems that we hold the creators of our most beloved stories at low esteem. There was a time when authors and certainly artists of any talent were looked upon as the most intelligent of intellectuals, second only to scientists and philosophers. We are being b

My Art And The Criticism Of It~I prefer instructive criticism over trolling on my art work.
~Do not use my art unless I allow you to do so.
~I vary between traditional and digital.
~Jade, how dare you say my art work sucks when you can't even get much criticism on yours or accept it when you do. This goes for everyone else. Please grow up... I am sick of fighting with you and you trying to lower my self esteem. You are actually failing at it and making me stronger. Every time you fuck with my emotions, I get stronger. Look at the difference on how we've turned out and where our paths diverge. You making me seem like a loser has never helped you. No offense, eighteen is the time to grow into an adult. You can keep some childish stuff, but there needs to be maturity, too.
~If you have a problem with my art, then please politely move along to some other page. I am not in the mood ever for trolling. If you're a little kid trying to start a fight, then I pity you.
~If you have an issue with any of this, I ap

Yves Bonnefoy

Qualche verso di Yves Bonnefoy, Poeta francese!

MOVIMENTO E IMMOBILITà DI DOUVE (Einaudi editore)

Nota: Douve è un luogo immaginario, ideato dal Poeta.
Ha molteplici significati: acqua morta, acqua melmosa dei fossati intorno ai castelli medioevali, ranuncolo delle paludi...

Ti vedevo correre sulle terrazze,
ti vedevo lottare contro il vento,
ti sanguinava il freddo sulle labbra.
E t'ho vista spezzarti e gioire d'essere morta oh più bella
della folgore, quando chiazza i vetri bianchi del tuo sangue.

Writing Portfolio Introduction In the words of George Eliot, "Nothing is so good as it seems beforehand." Indeed, that which is expected is never quite what it ends up being. Which is interesting considering that Mr. Eliot is actually the penname of Mary Anne Evans. A female writer, you ask? How wonderful! Rather, the irony lies in the fact that first, you thought she was a man; second, you thought she must be a rather fine, intellectual woman; and third, that it is now revealed to you that her large nose and thick cheekbones are rather masculine in nature anyway. So, what you expected wasn't exactly so, and even that wasn't what you expected after what you expected wasn'

Qualche Poesia di Blaga Dimitrova

Qualche verso di Blaga Dimitrova!
Ringrazio Vera Q. per la segnalazione :)

"Amarena"

"Hai freddo?" - mi hai chiesto
e mi hai stretto in un abbraccio.
In te rannicchiata con fiducia,
sono sbocciata appieno… E quali
canti di uccelli d'oltremare ho udito!
Venti del sud iniziavano a soffiare.
E come un'amarena, ancora intimidita
Ho dato via i miei colori.
Dove sei, libero, oggi,
dopo avermi lasciata sola nella neve?
Incurante, non mi chiedi più:
Hai freddo? … Adesso
Quell'inverno è intorno a me,
col gelo e un bianco deserto.
Ed io, amarena matura innanzi tempo,
tremo con le mie foglie bruciate.

What a Cyclone it has Been What a Cyclone it has Been
In 1939, Dorothy’s house took off for the first time from Kansas to Oz, via tornado. The image has been used and parodied numerous times. It’s one of the most iconic forms of American pop culture, and since then the twister has become a symbol of Kansas itself.
In my 2013 Professional Art final, a twister has once again been reproduced. The compositional piece includes color from the chalk used, blended into each other. The shape of the tornado shows easily as a funnel, and the twisted skyline drops into the tube of the twister. That takes care of shape and color.

Mihai Eminescu

Mihai Eminescu è il più noto (e a mio parere talentuoso) Poeta del Romanticismo Romeno. è stato chiamato Il "Byron Romeno". L'Opera che preferisco è "Lucifero" ("Luceafarul"), davvero sublime (che ho postato mesi fa, traducendolo dall'inglese; so che è stato tradotto anche in italiano, se non erro, negli anni '80, ma non sono riuscita a reperire il libro), forse anche più bello del "Demone" di Lermontov, anche se sicuramente sono tra i più bei poemi dedicati all'Angelo Caduto. Qui riporto queste frasi tratte da "Genio Desolato" ("Geniu Pustiu" 1868-1870), per dare un'idea dello stile di questo

Cioran 30Porfirio racconta che Plotino aveva il dono di leggere negli animi. Un giorno, al suo discepolo, stupitissimo, disse senza preamboli di non tentare di uccidersi e di intraprendere piuttosto un viaggio. Porfirio partì per la Sicilia: guarì dalla malinconia ma -commenta piena di rimpianto- non potè assistere alla morte del maestro, sopraggiunta durante la sua assenza. Da molto tempo i filosofi non leggono più negli animi. Non è il loro mestiere, si dirà. è possibile. Ma allora non deve meravigliare che non ci interessino più granchè.

The most influential woman: Taylor Swift Kindness, aspirational, determination and inspirational are the words that come to mind when thinking of the most influential woman in my life. One of my favourite singers, Taylor Swift, embodies these characteristics. Taylor Swift is an inspiration to me as she inspires her fans to accept who they are. She is a celebrity with a big heart. She started off as a small town girl who played her guitar for four hours until her fingers literally bled. Now, she is a big sensational country pop star. This “can do” spirit reflects her determination to pursue her dreams.

Looks wise, I find Taylor Swift beautiful with crystal Bambi-like

Punk is More That Just Your Parents Headaches. Punk is More That Just Your Parents Headaches.

As Joe Strummer, the lead singer of Clash, once thought; “Punk rock is meant to be our freedom, we’re meant to be able to do what we want to do.” But what exactly is Punk Rock anyway? Although public might say how troubling this crowd seems to be, these things are what it is actually about.
There's the ideology of the scene. Such as how soldiers are patriotic, Punks usually have their own perspective as well. Most of the views they get are not exactly of the standard, but that is just the point. Things such as non-conformity, anti-capitalism, anti

Defying the Laws of Physics A lot of the things I carry are carried inside a sturdy grey messenger bag which my mother now regrets buying. The bag was purchased in Japantown and is emblazoned with the bold words “Axis Powers Hetalia” and the un-proportional figures of three men in World War II uniforms who each represent a country -Germany, Italy, and Japan, to be precise. The bag is a little like me, worn with use and sloppily sewn back together where straps have fallen off and pockets bursted, and filled with what can only be described as tons of “stuff”.
But despite being filled with tons of “stuff,” the bag weighs nothing -until someone comes along and decides to point out the weight to me. Then the bag, along with all that “stuff,” weighs a ton, maybe more. Then the bag bumps my right thigh each time I take a step, and I notice my aching right shoulder that has a permanent bruise some two inches wide and five inch

Essay 1Looked Fear in the Face, and Hated It

Everyone has a fear; it is a simple fact of life. It’s like how everyone has different looks, likes and dislikes, and talents. That also means that there are different ways people and others around them react to it. I, for example, am afraid of heights, needles, and pitch black darkness. My family, being the caring group that they usually are, have a few laughs and giggles at life’s expense when I am approached by either of these. Sadly, this event was more humor for them then it was for me.

Here is the basic info concerning Kti, essentially a list of all the basic features.

~JaiLatte Feb 5, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is a good way to organize things. I must make something like this for Hseishch as well, as its grammer is sparse and confusing. XD

~Rostov-na-don Feb 20, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I made the list to bring the vital points together xD I can't find half of my work if I don't look under the pile of rubbish/papers (choose whichever you please, both apply to the same XD)

~JaiLatte Feb 20, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Haha! I can imagine. I keep all mine in a journal. Luckily. And I've kept a table of contents in the back. Veeeeery handy. XD

~jmaiocchi Feb 5, 2011

This looks really interesting.

Question: do the cases agree with gender, number, and animacy? If not, how do you combine morphemes to produce your desired results? Are there any combinations which are not permissible, or can you make use of multiple cases and/or genders, numbers, and animacy to provide deeper or more complex meanings?

~Rostov-na-don Feb 5, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Answer: Yes, cases agree with gender, number, animacy and sometimes the last consonant XD
I haven't had much time to work on derivation, but in general, a quarter of those cases require combining cases and morphemes. You can combine various morphemes simmilar as in German, maybe even more than so. I think that nonsence is inherently forbidden (Colourless green gasses sleep loudly and furiously), but I might add something else later on.
Thanks

~ImaginaryMdA Feb 4, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

Come on folks! just try to look past the intimidating list of cases!
As you said your self, Tolkien didn't have wikipedia, so neither should you need one to create a beautiful language!
I believe this is called either, mere quantity or a kitchen-sink!
No offense though, because very often the second conlang is a kitchen-sink, of course if this was your first, well done, you've skipped your first conlang! but don't get stuck in this step of the process!
(don't mind pointing at me, I'm still busy with my first, and I know very well that it has its numerous flaws!)

~Rostov-na-don Feb 5, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is my first conlang

It started as a KSL but I had/have a good mentor to tell me that what I was doing = crap

~ImaginaryMdA Feb 5, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

I'm glad you're not mad at me, but I thought it should've been said,
and who's the mentor, and where can I find his conlanguages?
I'd love to see some established conlangs,
(other than of course thé one and only, and amazing, and awesome, and really in need of so much more praise, Tolkien's conlangs)

~Rostov-na-don Feb 5, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Mentor: [link]

He has only one conlang.

My conlang: [link]

~ImaginaryMdA Feb 5, 2011 Hobbyist Writer

ow, of course I know your Mentor, but don't know how I feel about Umbrian though, it's I guess a wholely different style of conlanging...
with the declensions, and such, wouldn't you agree that that is not needed in all languages, certainly not in all alien languages?
