My suitemates smuggled in an überverbotentannenbaum.¹ Too bad² they have treated me at best like an interloper, and at worst, like a foul and sickening presence all semester, as I fully intend to report their arses to the front office.³ Vengeance shall be mine.<sup>4


1</sup>Sorry, but those are like half the words I know in German. The attempt to string them together was irresistible.
²For them, muahahahahaha!
³But not right now, because I just put on my pajamas.
⁴Because I hate stupid rules, but I hate my suitemates more.

Cornelia and Flavia!  That's Ecce Romani!

Anecdote time: Back in high school I wrote a sketch which incorporated all the characters from Ecce Romani in a soap-opera-like story.  Cornelia was engaged to Valerius but seduced Sextus on the side, etc.  And pretty much all the scenes took place "sub arbore."  We performed it in the talent show, and it I am [rather sadly] still known for it to this day.

hehe. it's like a secret society, all the latin students who learned about what goes on under trees. When in Rome, aye?

...and wow, you fanfic'ed Ecce Romani. that is truly impressive.

*dies*

I know my Latin teacher started using Ecce Romani instead of Jenney's First Year Latin the year after I graduated. If you happened to have that in a format I could share with my little brother and Mrs. Kurtz ...

OK, first let me just quickly clarify that this was not so much a fanfic, more of a rather quickly written parody of our textbook.  Everyone found it funny at the time, but everyone was in high school at the time.  It actually came up in conversation though [sort of] at my reunion yesterday, so I'll see if the file is still on my old computer.  If I find it, maybe I'll put it up on my webpage.
