Ok. So in lieu of the recent "starting over" and my absence from the community (of which I never was fully integrated in to begin with) I decided to post a little thing:

( 30 Things you may not have known about Air )

/end the me spam. Hope you can know me a bit better now. <3

I just love picspams. And I've put on weight and can't photograph anymore so this makes me slightly happy. :-(

Hey guys! What's going on with the drama? :-(

Alright, so there seems to be a consensus for the name "amici_optimi" (noble friends, the best [of] friends), so we've settled that. If there are any last minute objections, please raise them here.

Next order of business is to decide whether to start completely fresh with a new community, or to simply rename this one. I have to say that I am heavily in favor of the "new journal" approach, for several reasons:

• it allows us to start COMPLETELY fresh--no old entries, settings, associations, etc.
  
• it doesn't cost anything
  
• it still keeps the old community here, so that we can go back and look at the old entries and such if we'd like, and/or as a reminder of the drama
  
• there's something symbolic about beginning anew...starting fresh--it just feels...right? I dunno, maybe I'm crazy XD LOL
  
• if the paid account thing is really important to you guys, then we can just take the money that would have gone to the rename token, and buy the new comm a paid account

...thoughts, anyone?

Going along with the latin idea, I did some research, and this is what I came up with...

(bolded starred ones are longer than 15 characters, and starred bolded ones are my favorites)

• cum_amici = "with friends"
  
• *cum_fidelis = "with faithful friends"
  
• cum_familia = "with family"
  
• apud_amici = "among friends"
  
• apud_fidelis = "among faithful friends"
  
• apud_familia = "among family"
  
• familia_animi = "family at heart"
  
• *familia_optimates = "family of noble birth, the noble family"
  
• *germanatis_optimi = "the noble sisterhood, the best sisterhood"
  
• *germanatis_clari = "the illustrious sisterhood, the renowned sisterhood"
  
• germanum_animi = "sister[s/ly] at heart"
  
• germanum_optimi = I'm not entirely sure how to translate this, but "germanum" means either "sisterly" or "genuine, real, true", and "optimus" means "best" or "noble/aristocrat", so it's something like "true sisterly aristocrats".
  
• *germanum_pectoris = "sisterly souls, sisters of the soul"
  
• amici_optimi = "the noble friends, the best [of] friends"
  
• amici_pectoris = "friends of the soul, friends with soul"
  
• amici_optimates = "friends of noble birth, the noble friends"
  
• magnanimatis = "greatness of soul"
  
• *fidelis_pectoris = "faithful friends of the soul"
  
• fidelis_animi = "faithful friends at heart"
  
• fidelis_cognati = "faithful relatives, faithful kinsmen"

If anyone actually takes Latin, feel free to correct my grammar XD

ETA: switched which ones are bolded/starred, so it makes more sense now.

can't touch this.
