I would say "I bite my thumb at ye!" And she would say something similar, and so on and so forth. Eventually we were told we were being dumb, and we stopped.

But my teacher gave out extra credit if you mentioned it to him first, and this other girl just beat me! Argh. No really, its just because we finished reading Julius Caesar for school last week.. and I was Caesar, so that was fun. I actually really liked that play, and I found it interesting that SHakespeare made a mistake in this one, or they think he did... how he mentions Portia's death twice. But it was a really good play, I thought. And now I'm writing my essay on it, so thats why its stuck in my head. Lol.

Wretch Posts: 276 Group: Members Member #39 Joined: March 15, 2006	Ahhhh, the Ides of March! I hadn't thought of that either. I haven't thought of Julius Caesar since we read it in sophomore year...I just didn't care for it, dunno. Happy (late) ides of March!

But anywho, my roomie's theatre class is studying Othello right now, so I emailed the professor and he's letting me sit in on the class while they do that. Yay! I actually get to study my fave play! Yeah...my roomie was also supposed to have it read for yesterday, but she didn't so I recapped it for her Sunday night. It was...interesting. So now I'm writing it in my own language. Which is funny, because I'm quite the Shakespearean purist with this kind of stuff, but hey, it's just for me and my own amusement. And anyone else who wants to laugh. *shrugs* (Yay for pointless posts!)

I remember having to read for Bianca and usually I don't have a problem digesting or understanding his work, but for some reason the text was hard for me to comprehend. Outside of that aspect, it is truly one of his greatest tragedies.

But it's too bad the 9 out of 10 freshmen are too immature to appreciate it and quit talking. So there was constant talking and you couldn't really hear what they were saying. So I got the general idea of what happened but it was hard to concentrate.
