I resized some more of Viggo's pictures, but before I'll post them, I'm giving you these:

Viggo sings 1/2 Red, taken from Recent Forgeries

Chaco, taken from Recent Forgeries is a little Spanish poem that I adore. The fact that I love Viggo's voice when he reads Spanish has nothing to do with me posting this. Honestly.

Bedtime Story For Henry, also taken from Recent Forgeries, inspired me to write the short story "Bedtime Story". Especially for

llanowar1977 who liked my story. That's where I got the first spark to write it.

You can translate German? Wow. *is very impressed* I wish I could speak more languages

No, love. I speak English, period. I can speak enough Spanish to shop, order food, insult people's mothers, and ask where a hospital is. I can read Spanish well enough that I can get the gist of most websites, and I can read enough French and German that I can function on sites, if need by, though I end up having to look a bunch of stuff up by the end of things. If you ever heard me speak a word of any of those languages, I'm sure that you'd laugh yourself silly at my awful pronunciation. Plus the fact that in order for me to hold a conversation, I'd need a dictionary and a book of grammar rules, and it'd take me five minutes to form a simple sentance. So translate German, sure, no problem. Write in it? Ha. I can write in Spanish, sometimes - I have a few poems in it, though I suspect that the words are a bit dodgy. But that's it.

But that's fantastic too. I know enough Latin to translate idioms (Bah.) and enough Spanish to get the gist of a text. Not the details, just the main thing. I don't know any French except Ce n'est pas une pipe. I can't speak anything except German and English. Oh, and bits of Spanish. I can order a "pollo asado" and I know what I will get when I order it.

So compared to my meager skills you know a lot. Which is fantastic. Really really.

*hugs*

I never get more than the gist of the text, love. And frequently, that's only accomplished with a dictionary next to me. I'm slow. I'll have to post one of my Spanish poems sometime, and you can mock my improper conjugations and things like that.

Also, you are fluent in two languages!! That is not meager! Shut up! nicely, but really, man. that's not at all meager.

You may be slow but in the end you understand it. I'm slow with Latin. It takes ages.

And yes! Post your poems! I won't mock you. I won't notice improper conjungations or grammar or whatever... I would notice if you misspelled "pollo asado", but that's it :D

Yes, maybe you're right. I just want to be able to speak more languages! *hugs*

I think that I only have like three in Spanish - one was for a class, and the other two were things there I had the idea in Spanish first, and then didn't like nearly as well when they were translated. I know where one is - I'm not sure about the other. I'll post it tomorrow, but probably just to you, because I'm really not at all a Spanish speaker.

I want to be able to speak more languages, as well, so I feel that.

Heeee, great. You can post them using a filter, right? Or just send them to me via email! Sometimes I love technology. :) (SpellcastersCoven @ gmx.de)

I probably have to find an online dictionary anyway, since I have misplaced mine.

Anyway, I can't wait! Well, okay, I can, I'm just curious.

Hee. I'll post it with a filter, yeah. And technology is very much my bet friend ever in the world.

I can only find the one poem, but I'll post it with a translation so you don't have to do it all manually, because hi, that takes forever.

you're so nice, pretty. *loves*
