Remember that tá is used to say where something is or what state it is in. These are temporary qualities. Permanent qualities are referred to by using is, meaning roughly It's (this is not really a verb and will be called by its traditional name of 'copula' here.)

You use Is mise (Lit. It's me) to introduce yourself by name or occupation:

Is mise Pádraig. I am Patrick (lit. It's me, Patrick.)
Is mise an rúnaí. I am the secretary (lit. It's me, the secretary.)

It is also possible to drop is:

Mise Deirdre. I am Deirdre (lit. Me Deirdre.)


... mm. And the next section is possessives which is freaking huge, so, no. Not this morning.



Hey, look, it's another language uberpost! With short bits of languages all over the place, but hey.

I am not a romantic comedy person. I am not a romance genre in general person, which makes me question the wisdom of reading at least the first Twilight book. But, as much crap as I say about it, I've come back around to the point where I feel like I should read it just to know what I'm talking about. I don't actually know how long this will last. I might get fed up after one chapter and want a book to fling across the room, because no, I didn't pay money for it on purpose. If y'all are very lucky I'll write up a long ranting entry sporking various parts of it, behind a cut so the people who don't want to read me tearing apart a book they like don't have to, and the people who enjoy schadenfreude or sarcasm can read it. Anyway, this was brought to you by a romcom starring Christian Kane and Michael Weatherly as DiNozzo's slightly less classy baby brother (yeah, go on and picture DiNozzo as less classy, I dare you) and it was terrible. It was really terrible. Christian Kane had all the best lines and they were still pretty bad. But I got to see him all barechested and kinda ripped, so, mm. I wouldn't say it was worth it, but there was a happy ending.

I really, really, did I mentionr eally? Need to kick ass on my writing. Oh dear lord. It's getting ridiculous. I mean, I got myself organized and I think I got my routines mostly back on track (getting to bed on time needs to be a priority now) but I really need to kick ass on the writing thing. I know I can, I just. Need to focus. Black Ice horror, Black Ice Nano outline, Trimuvirate, Pretender Sidhe. That needs a title. Augh. Too many writing projects, too little brain, and a fuckton of incoming today. That's going to turn into outgoing PDQ. Sigh. At least I have tonight. I think.
