-x AoiSakura x- lilchibiusa If The Seven Deadly Sins thing wins, I suggest tying them all together using the medieval book, The Vision of Piers Plowman. In that book, all of the seven deadly sins are personified as regular people, and they each go to confession. It would be perfect to unify the whole theme! Seriously, kid, you've got some crazy good ideas. biggrin There are a lot of stories like that where they're people, and I think the avis for the hosts would be amazing. Thanks! biggrin I have a degree in English literature, so that helps a bit. The hard part about doing the seven deadly sins would be coming up with co-hosts, but there are people that the sins hang around in Piers Plowman. That's why I think it would work so well. Btw, neither Piers Plowman nor Shakespeare are old English. Piers Plowman is in Middle English, and it was written around 1300-1350. Shakespeare wrote in Early Modern English in the 1500s. I really wanted to learn old English, but I don't have enough money to take any master's courses this fall. Old English is really a foreign language, and no words are recognizable at all to modern readers unless they've actually studied the Old English language. That's because Old English is a Germanic language. What we know as English today is the combination of that old Germanic language and French because the French language came to Britain in 1066 with the Norman conquest. 3nodding (Sorry for getting all nerdy and techinical.) sweatdrop

I'm for Shakespeare or Sins!!!
Idea:
Okay! How about when we get a top three we vote between them in a new poll?
I just thought it would be a good idea to get the favorites together and inform everyone in the guild of the poll, this way if we miss voting for this one we can vote then. And it will help narrow it down so the votes are so spread out! wink

I'm not sure why we should do another poll. I mean we finally decided on a Theme according to the poll. We should just go from there instead of to keep going backwards.

I also love how they correctly label the energy in food using kilocalories and kilojoules. Did you know that Americans commonly refer to kilocalories simply as calories? @_@ That drives me absolutely up the wall. It's subtle things like the things I just mentioned that make me want to live there.

It's subtle things like the things I just mentioned that make me want to live there. i guess it takes living somewhere else to really appreciate those things! i feel bad now for taling free health care for granted, i haven't exactly needed it myself but it's still something i shouldn't take for granted! that 'calories' thing along with quite a few other things seems to be working its way over here, but its still labeled correctly on packets cause the regulations over here for that kind of thing are very strict.
no there definately isn't abandoned buldings everywhere! and i do apreciate the countryside and beauty of the place, even if i do think the way the place is being run is a bit sh*tty

Hikari Aijuntani I'm not sure why we should do another poll. I mean we finally decided on a Theme according to the poll. We should just go from there instead of to keep going backwards. It would be a better idea to take the top 3 into a new poll, to see which one is most popular out of the 3, because there are people who voted otherwise but this way we can see what they like as well. I hope I made sense.
