I've broken my brain. I was telling my dad a Latin joke, and I was explaining part of it, and I realized I can't for the life of me remember how to decline a noun. Well, okay, probably if someone threatened my life I'd remember it. But I don't know. Maybe not. I'm ashamed of myself.

It's sort of a thread in my life this week. First the who "pet conjugating on your arm" thing, which lead to the joke, then Eddie Izzard last night started in on the whole Amo, Amas, Amat thing on the video I watched last night.

I think it's a sign. I just have no idea what exactly it portends ...

Wow, and I thought I was hard on myself for not remembering the opening bids in ESP. :)

I had 5 years of Latin. My stepmother's a classics professor. The time period that I want to study for grad school will require a working knowledge of latin for primary source texts. I am ashamed of myself.

Hehe... as much as I'd like to escalate this into a mock "my shame is worse than your shame" conversation, I know that's not helpful.

Welcome to existence, my friend... you're human, not a computer. If you were a computer, life would be *far* less interesting. So, you can continue to be ashamed and beat yourself up over it, or solve it, relearn it, and move on. Just know that you're loved in either case. :)

You say "Thanks but no thanks, noun."

Sorry.
