Queens Of The Stone Age-Someone's In The Wolf

Once you're lost in twillights's blue
You don't find your way, the way finds you...

Tempt the fates, beware the smile
It hides all the teeth, my dear,
What's behind them...

So glad you could stay
Forever

He steps between the trees, a crooked man
There's blood on the blade
Don't take his hand

You warm by the firelight, in twilight's blue
Shadows creep & dance the walls
He's creeping too..

So glad you could stay
Forever

What exactly is wrong with French? I never did understand this anglo-canadian high school student mentality against it. I think it's a lovely language.

oh, well I don't hate it. I just never understood how to speak it. In fact, I never got past jemapple and aurevior. And I am fairly sure that I mispelled those.

I loved it. I was in french immersion for 8 years.
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

I sucked at french. I took it for four semesters in grade 9 and 10. I was totally glad to be done with it. I remember so very little. But, I didn't hate it while I was doing it, and I had a really crappy teacher.

ive wondered that too
i think part of it is the way the language is taught
if one learns how to use the language in a practical manner rather than the formal verb conjugation, etc of the language they appreciate it more

when i was in school, we learned how not to use it almost
it wasnt enjoyable
it was formal and annoying

my brother however, (hes in IB) they pick up le monde, and other papers, etc and look at the language from a more practical sense
go fuck yourself.
