a little about me

*voice* hello!! I see you've found my blog

I post and reblog random stuff here, and this is my favourite child of my accounts (I mostly use it for the most personal posts of mine)

here are the others if you were interested!

wow I have a lot of side blogs

/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\

anyways, I'll start by telling you what we're all about here, and we can be on our merry little ways:

firstly be aware that there is nothing wrong in spam liking/reblogging my posts if that's what you desire, and I will always derive joy from seeing you on my dash :)

next then I suppose, I've never felt comfortable giving out my real name, so you can call me whatever your heart desires! you'll notice I call myself Lingo a lot though, 'tis a very lovely nickname on of my best friends came up with (I'm he/him though); also I'm a teenager :D do with that what you will

random but I am. half-Irish and born and raised in the US, pretty much everywhere in this grand country other than the South honestly (I say this mainly because my blog title switches through different languages quite often)

I'm a devout Catholic (pro-life all the way, and we don't condone any sort of hate on this blog), and some of my favourite activities include playing my guitar, talking with people, and reading!

I also enjoyy:

I also take a large interest in languages and etymology, and I hold it true that my linguistic spirit animal is Youtube user 'etymology_nerd' and my Linguist Best Friend Who Blows Me Away is @saltedcaramelchaos ^-^ (hehe get tagged)

I'm actually currently attempting to translate the phrase "You (all) are my beloved(s)", both plural and not, into as many languages as I can muster! the Big Post for that is here

the variety of music I enjoy is far too broad to list here, but let's say anything but bad country (although I do especially enjoy The Arcadian Wild, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, the Dirt Poor Robins, twenty one pilots, Jack Johnson, Green Day, Jim Croce, dc Talk, The Oh Hellos, Disturbed, and others)

I'm not sure what all I'll post here, or what accounts will get made over time, but I'll be sure to update this as things happen

The paragraph above this one has honestly just been left here for nostalgic reasons, this blog is mostly the one I use to talk with people/to you all lol :D

/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\

some tags I'm currently using:

#catholicism and/or #catholic stuff --- my Catholic posts on main :3 #lingo gets infused with bluegrass --- anything that I post about while I learn how to write and play bluegrass music #tag: eg pd lb --- my liveblogging of the Late, the Great, and the COLEEEEEE STYLEEEEEE Prime Defenders from the JRWI team ^-^ #the talkies tag --- posts that are my talking to you all :3

/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\=/-*-\

okay, that's all!

if you want to talk with, chat with, or ask questions about, me I'd be more than happy to!

now you may be on your merry way, I've held you long enough

stay strong out there

hmmm okay so in follow-up to my last post, there's another thing I've been up to this Lent: I made another silly phonetic writing script for English! (very long explanation below the cut)

mmmmm Laplace's Transform..... I'm remembering I'm a math nerd now.... XD

So Laplace's Transform, basically a way of saying "the indefinite integral of (e^-st)*(f(t))dt evaluated from zero to infinity, where f(t) is your original function and the transformation that'll occur is transforming f(t) into terms of s, which is really cool imo

however! whilst I had already been oddly fluent in derivatives (I spent like half a year studying them because I love them so much), and I had also been aware of the concept of an antiderivative, I DIDN'T know indefinite integrals and antiderivatives were the same thing XD

And what's further, having known very little to begin with about antiderivatives, one can imagine my utter awe and confusion as to the happenings of the video explaining the Laplace Transform of f(1)

which then led me down a self-induced rabbit-hole of learning about integration, indefinite integrals, and integration by parts, all three of which I've fallen in love with as well

and now I can confidently say I'm at least partially familiar with Laplace's Transform and how to take the indefinite integral of functions of t decently well 👍 now does that mean I'll ever do it well? no probably not, I've hardly had time to reiterate the fundamental properties of integrals into my brain so I often get stuck looking at something awfully wrong loll

but nonetheless, I just wanted to ramble about integrals and how much I love derivatives and the like while I was still on tumblr for Sunday ^-^

have a great day y'all!!

so my dad's off deployed, and my mom and I are the only other two people in our house who wake up with alarms

and my mom got woken up by something at like six, and I've taken to using a small little digital alarm clock to wake me up so I don't go on my phone first thing in the morning

and daylight savings happened at 2 in the morning

and only our phones automagically update

so long story short somehow none of us checked out phones and we drove to church, and right before parking realised we were like. a whole hour late XDD

Luckily there're a ton of parishes around us, so we just drove to another one, but goodness if I didn't say I would like daylight savings to be gone at some point in my life lollll

this could be quite the penitential Lenten season coming up tomorrow ngl

tsk tsk

leave your latin vocab 'til now it's gonna be strenuous committing em to heart, you shoulda known

alas, I must away to my responsibilities
