I'm a stranger who happens to fancy the Latin-infested sidebar with much verve. LOL. I was looking for essay contests 'round here but I fortunately stumbled upon this blog! First off, I must say congratulations for winning that contest! I wanted to join that but time didn't give me the leeway! but i got to say that i have not read it - but would look forward into, judging from this Latin-invaded blog! I like latin although I know very little. btw, i hope to post the longest comment here. I'm already a fan! Aspiring novelist, Catherine. Hi!
