Having trouble with our journals, are we? I suppose that given all the weighty matters being entrusted to the journal system every day, some form of leakage was inevitable over time. Well, I hope it's a valuable lesson for all of you. Stultum est timere quod vitare non potes. Si hoc legere scis, flocci non facio; die dulci fruere.

Vita luna est, et una salus victis nullam sperare salutem.....


To my future Ancient Runes students:



[["It's absurd to fear the inevitable. If you can read this, I don't care; have a nice day. Life is mad, and resignation the last hope of the vanquished." Strikes partially readable. All of which is cribbed from these sites.... just pretend it's real scholarly Latin, ok? XD The runes are Tolkien's dwarf runes as evolved from the Elder Futhark, and they offer points to anyone who can read or identify them.]]

Here is one of my favourite sayings Professor..

Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum...

and here is your answer for the runes [http://pics.livejournal.com/dragonofhonor/pic/00018fts]

[[Ha! Go look up the first, it fits Tatsuki! And the Runes scanned too big and I don't know how to resize, obviously I fail hard.. so.. pretend they are here.. It says "The runes above are dwarf runes. Probably from Futhark the elder. This is child's play. Tatsuki is in her third year of Runes~ and was studying to be a Curse Breaker..]]

Hmph. Sua cuique voluptas. Child's play, is it? Fifteen points to Gryffindor, then, and another three for the Latin.


[['To each his own.' XDDDD Nice runes, and yay Pratchett reference!]]

I prefer Viking Runes myself..

*nods, pleased* Why is that, then?

De bene esse; however, cotidie damnatur qui semper timet.
