^I did! It was still a mess. I once played around with google translate with some Japanese song lyrics and instead of 'This Memory of You', I got 'memory of mackerel'. :confused:

To be fair to google translate, it wasn't specified that the "you" wasn't a mackerel.

You better believe that one went straight into the ms.
 
Translated Lyrics to The Place Where Wishes Come True:
And so I forgot one more thing
The spring morning when the petals fell
The sky seen through a broken prism
I just want to touch them, just want to wish for them

I was laughing, pretending not to notice
Sad summer dreams
Melted down and filled the gaps
Dream after dream

What I was wishing for...

I draw closer and return to your side
Now only a small insect
Is just listening with bated breath
To the quiet song of autumn

"Don't be swallowed up by the twilight and let go of me"

Overtaking the running Orion
In the end, winter goes
On the hill road leading to spring
We were just touching, we were just wishing

We were just wishing

Google Translate Version:

So I also forgot one
Flower winter spring morning
A sky through a missing prism
I just want to hope to touch

I was laughing with a swing unnoticed
Sad Summer Dream
It melts out and fills the gap
A dream again dream

I was hoping

Alright and return it to your side
Quiet autumn song
Only small insects now
Just breath in and hear my ears

To drink in the dusk and let it go

Run over Orion
Winter goes last
On the slope that continues till spring
I only hoped that I was touching

I just hoped.

I walked 90km (56 miles) yesterday on shoes that I had never worn. It was the most painful, blister-filled experience I've ever had.

No writing for me today.

Vegas conference getting close now--I wake up extra-early tomorrow morning and hit the road. A 9 hour drive as I understand it, so I'm giving myself 11 hours. Good thing I like driving.

Can't wait to meet my writing friends in person, and maybe make some new ones--

Hard to say how that might go. In most social situations, I'm a wallflower. But in a social situation dedicated to a topic I love...? That's a little different.
 
^Really? Oh.

*returns to MS a month late with coffee* Hey, everyone! I'm back again. I feel like I'm more of an occasional visitor here nowadays rather than a community regular. School and job pushed my life to the fringes for a while, but I've managed to get things back in line. I've missed contributing to discussions here and I'm excited to be back!

Hello! Welcome back. :D

It's been a tough last few weeks, but I'm hanging in there. Been reading a lot :D

Sorry to hear that! Hope things get better for you soon. How's the reading going? I'm re-reading Discworld at the moment, which I'm regretting a bit. Okay, a lot. I just finished The Light Fantastic, the second book, and there are still....thirty-nine to go.

Wow. O_O

I just finished Incarceron by Catherine Fisher, and am struggling to express how I feel about it...

I've been trying to kick a reading slump through reading as much as possible in a short amount of time. I'm still behind on my Goodreads Challenge though...
