Here Be Profanity

[hawkwing_lb]

I shouldn't post this. I just want to curse, just - shit, I don't know. If you read this and it offends you, leave me a comment and I'll delete. I probably shouldn't use LJ as a venting site for undirected angst, but hell. I'm too tired to care.

Shit, I'm so tired. Tired enough that my head swims when I try to form the concepts I need to finish this assignment. I've been writing it all day, and what does it say about me that I can't kick out a miserly 400 more words? Well, not and have them make any sense.

Urgh. Gah. I am so fucking screwed. Why did I take an arts moderatorship, anyway, and not go for science? At least science doesn't have way the fucked up reading lists. Want to go back and studying the life sciences. Fuck I'm screwed. Can I just quit and reapply now? Cause I love the ancient-y history bits, but fuck, you can always study the history-type bits on your own. Tell me why the fuck am I cursing? Shit, shit, shit.

Cut me half a fucking break. I never thought I'd miss fucking mathematics. Subject from hell. Just let me turn back the clock to my application form. Or let me reapply and do science. Because fuck I do miss it. And science is at least structured.

Damnit, I probably shouldn't post this. Ignore me, okay? Just venting. Whining. Whingeing. I'm one of the lucky bastards. One of the lucky ones, right. I should be grateful to even have this fucking opportunity, and what am I doing? Wasting it. Being the world's worst fucking idiot, with my head stuck up my own arse. Damnit.

Damn, damn, damn.

can teach some new swear words if you run out of them :-) All I can say is 'this too will pass, and so will you.'

*passes. keeps passing. passes out.* :-)

(I am curious as to your new swear words. But I think I'd better pass :-). My language can already get quite foul :-))

Oooh! Oooh! (raises hand) Me, me! I would love to add to my meager store of Bad Words in Other Languages. I can curse in Russian and Chinese, but there's always room for more. :-)

Always wanted to know the Bad Words in Irish, too. ;-) Even the words that only Sound Like They Should Be Bad, But Aren't. ;-) Like "nichevo" in Russian -- sounds bad, eh? Means "nothing". :-D

You want to learn to curse in Irish, eh? Well, I can't teach you any bad words - they're rather frowned on in the classroom, as you might imagine - but I do know a curse or two.

A [person], ná raibh séan ort. Ná raibh d'iníon ag iarraidh spré ort. Ná raibh do chlann mhac i bhfochair a chéile.

"[Person], may you never have good fortune. May your daughters never marry. May your sons be lost to each other."

Nasty old curse, isn't it? From the poem Donncha Bán, my favourite of all the Irish poems I ever had to study. In it, a sister is cursing the man who had her brother executed, and that's the worst curse she can think of.

Sounds very like the old Yiddish curses I once read. ;-)
