Elvish is effectively Finnish, with his own personal alphabet, and the dwarf runes are derrived from Viking runes. I love having a nerdy Latin teacher obsessed with this kind of thing.

wishes for 2005: survive fourth year without killing myself due to boredom, make it to both ctyi and gemany this summer, maybe reach some insights into what the heck I'm going to do with my future (picking my LC subjects might be a start) and turn 17 next december (might as well put in something I'm going to acheive)

to raise as much money possible for the tsunami disaster. learn to play guitar. start studying more....start studying full stop actually. spend more time with my friends. go back to ctyi for my final year.

all I think are very probable, except for the studying part. I just can't study, I have some sort of mental block.

seriously? or are you just saying that so as to appear more humane to your fellow boards users.... cos that's a very noble thing to do (not seem humane, but to actually be humane)

god, no, I wouldn't lie about something like that. I really want to help as much as possible. I just need some help, and to get the principals permission to organise a fundraiser at the school, or amongst the students. He'll say yes, I'm sure, he's nice about that sort of thing. So what's left is to decide what sort of fundraiser, and to enlist in the help of some of my friends, and anyone else who is willing to take part.

yes, but you realise how much of a doss the JC is in comparison to the LC? Also, the JC matters not for college, the LC does. That's why I actually give a damn about it.

Anyway, I need 570 points at least for medicine in Trinity. Or, if I got 590, I'd get tuition fees and that sorta thing free, which would kick serious ass. That means I need a hell of a lot of As(for 590, 5 A1s, 1 A2.). I'm doing an extra subject, and I'm just starting it now, so I need to make sure I catch up in everything that I need to have done aswell.

Awayindahils

to get 4 A1s an A2 and B2

or is that 3 A1s, 2 A2s and a B2.

anyway to know what i want to do before the last day i can change the coa form, im so confused.

emm to have a brillaint summer and to see as little of my house as posisble

emm i dunno cant see much past june, vague hopes for late spetember but basically

yeah

oh aoibheann you just need to do the homework in 5h year, study for tests etc. if you study too much in 5th year you wont face it in 6th year again, enjoy 5th year becasue for 6 months the next year you will belong to your books if you want medicine, whether you study in 5th year or not.

my resolutions?

to hopefully not see another person close to me die this year.

I have much sympathy. Don't even get me started on the subject. My cousin died just before Christmas.

Happy ****ing New Year.

It is hard when people close to you die.In my experience it never rains, but it pours in that area.

Anyway, my hopes for 2005:
Get an iPod
See Equinox again
Go back to CTYI for the last time
And a skydive would be nice.

I too would like my granny to reach ninety as healthy and happy as she is now. A stronger woman there is not.

It wasn't me!

I also would like to see a year where nobody I'm close to dies. The past year hasn't been great on that front.

About the tolkien thing: the Language of the Uruk-Hai is based on the sounds of Irish. Tolkien hated irish. Vehemently. Thought it was the worst language ever spoken.

My year's hopes: Lose some of the wieght, keep up beatin the almighty sh<asterix>te out of my punchbag every night to keep fit, do my piano silver medal before Christmas, do a hell of a lot more writing and enter some writing competitions.

Things I can't control: Nanotechnology becoming a viable commercial thingummy (cause I'm a nerd), i'm tired finish this later

My hopes for 2005
1) The Big Brother House will be destroyed by terrorists.

2) Bill O Reilly (of Fox "News" and I use that word in the loosest possible sense) will **** his trousers on live television.

3) The studios will stop making films which don't live up to their trailers, Underworld, Reign of Fire, Chronicles of Riddick.

4) Team America: World Police will be as good as the trailer promises.

5) Tony Blair will admit that, yes, he really doesn't have an opinion on anything.

6) The IRA will admit that, yes, they just like having guns.

7) The UVF will admit that, yes, they just love beating up catholics.

8) Ian Paisly Jnr will admit that, yes, he really doesn't have a clue what he's doing there either.

9) The Republicans will admit that, yes, they know that tax cuts don't help the poor.

10) I'll get better at the guitar.
