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.

I was so incoherent right now, I almost wrote German

Whatever, love. I can translate.

My normal speeking voice is so different from my reading voice!

Hee. I've never thought about that before, but you're probably right - I suspect that mine is well, now that I'm obsessing over it.

Well, I recorder some clips, with my hubby's help

Man. I've only just recently realised what amazing capabilities for voice stuff computers have - Voice chat on AIM or whatever - and now I'm just giddy with recording everything, because I'm immature like that.

So I'd just need to upload them, which is like no work at all.

Whee! Are you sure? I don't want to be a huge pain. (Yes, self, because bullying her into making audio posts isn't at all a pain, what are you thinking?) It's late, forgive me. That'd be fantastic, though, if you could upload a few more.

Okay, reallyreally, bed, because it's broad daylight now.

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

Voice chat on AIM You can do that? I didn't know! Heh, maybe I can borrow that headset... I normally just go and find the features I need to work. Picture editing programs, word and editor, ftp. I never even looked for audio recording. Sometimes I'm too lazy to bother. Or maybe 24 hours are just not enough for all the things I want to do.

Re: audio clips of Viggo, what do you want to hear? Did you catch some of the Don't Tell Me What to Do clips? You probably heard from pandemonium from america, right? Otherwise I just post whatever I like best today. :D

*hugs*

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.

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

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*

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

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.

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

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*

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

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.

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

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.

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

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*

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

Forgot. Audio clips: I've heard the tracks on pandemoniumfromamerica that Elijah and Dom sing on, but that's it. And I got Don't Tell Me What To Do off the internet, yeah. I've not yet heard them because I'm still distracted by Billy on Sharon Osbourne, but probably tomorrow.

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

Just very shortly, because I have to go to uni today right now:

I'm going to post tracks from pandemoniumfromamerica later on, when I'm back. The less popular pieces (that I'm madly in love with) since you already know "Halffling", "Gone" and "Maybe".

And Billy on Sharon? OMGdon'tgetmestarted because when it comes to Billy I'm the uberfangirl and so 12.

!!!

*points at icon*

See you later, love!

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

What are you studying?

OMG totally have at the Billy squee, because he's fucking amazing, and I've had it on repeat for like, since I downloaded it. Not because I'm obsessed. Because I'm dedicated.

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

I'm studying English and Biology. Biology was a big big mistake, but I love English to pieces!

Oh, and Billy? As I said, don't get me started because he is amazing. I had the luck to see him in San Diego (the play) and he was absolutely brilliant. I took pictures! You can see them here (http://www.bagendinn.com/Billy/other.asp) under San Diego. (Duh.) Fantastic play. I squeed myself silly (afterwards in the hotel, thankfully.)

Since I know that he can sing, like really really sing, I'm even more, um, dedicated.

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

Whoa. Bio's scary to me, love, but I'm sorry that you don't like it. Glad that at least the English is going well.

Re: Billy. Have you not yet realised that I enjoy the fangirling squee? Because . . . I do. A lot. And I adore him, man. He's so cute, and so fucking talented. The first time that I heard him sing I literally stopped everything that I'd been doing to listen to him, I was so amazed.

Also, the San Diego pics: Maybe this is just me, but had I not known that it was Billy in the second to last pic, I would have thought it was Dom. Is that weird?

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

Bio's scary to me too. I have to choose my classes really carefully. I can't take anything related to the brain and its functions, since the university at which I'm studying is very fond of animal testing. And that makes me angry beyond belief. So I do my best to boycott classes that are based on results gained from animal testing. Mostly I take classes about plant life. Meh.

Re: Billy: the first time I heard him sing was after I downloaded the mp3 of Steward of Gondor. Omg. Isn't he amazing? And he's such a lovely man, so very kind and gentle and nice. Ouch, sounds like I'm 12 again :D But he is.

Re: Pics: Nah. I have a good memory for people's faces and the way they stand, so I hardly mix up anybody. I'm not that good with names though. Besides, in some pictures Billy and Dom look very much alike. Once they even had the same highlights in their hair.

Um. Dedicated, not obsessed.

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. I have huge issues with animal testing, especially in an educational system like what you're speaking of. Our system is like that as well - We were meant to do our first dissection in seventh grade. I called in ill that day, but still. Seventh grade!

Re: Billy: I respect him so much. Maybe that's a weird word, respect, but I think that it's true of my feelings, especially for him, Dom, and Viggo - Yes, they're amazingly mindbogglingly hot, but they're the sort of people who I'd crush on anyhow, even if I'd never seen them, because they're so talented and. . .I want to say involved with things, though I suspect that it's not really what I'm trying to say. I'm going to go with it, though, and assume that you're catching me, because we seem to have similar thought patterns in this. But really, I never fail to be surprised by exactly how talented he is. I keep going "okay, damn." and then he goes does something else and I have to readjust my previous view of how great he was and make it greater, you know?

Re: The pic: I'm good with names, good with faces, and bad at connecting the two, but I'm generally really good at recognising people from behind, and the way that Billy's standing in that pic made me go "wait, dom?" It might just be me, though. Also, they had the same highlights? How cute!

[kohaku1977.livejournal.com]

Sad thing with my uni, or rather the animal testing at my uni, is that I can't really do much against it. Except maybe telling people about it and not taking those classes.

Re: Billy: Oh I know. Maybe it is respect. Sometimes it's so hard to put such feelings into words. They all seem so dedicated. They put so much heart into things. I'm amazed at the myriad of things Viggo does. He involved in tons of things, art related and otherwise, and he's so modest about it. I guess this makes him some kind of rolemodel for me. In a way. Aww, I think you get my ramblings.

re: the pic: Sometimes they're very much alike, aren't they? I love that. And the highlights had me squeeing for days. Because I'm a fangirl like that. Wasn't there a little snippet around that they went to the same coiffeur when Dom visited Bill in Scotland? I'm a sucker for little facts like that. And there is this brilliant Japanese restaurant in Glasgow. I couldn't help myself but wonder if both were there at some time.

[vegetariansushi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's not a great deal you can do about it here, either, and it makes me sad.

Re: Billy/Viggo again. I totally get the ramblings, hon. I'm amazed by people who are so creative and talented in so many areas, you know?

Re: Highlights: I totally missed that, dude. Totally missed. I didn't even know that Dom'd gone to Scotland. I'm totally bad at this kind of thing.
