I'm not fluent enough in Latin to know what that means, but if it's referring to the fight song, it was I Want It All by Queen. I don't think I realized it was a gay rights anthem when I chose it. It is now featured in a Dr Pepper commercial. Take that, Wyoming Park High School.

Going to the library to decide what to learn. One day I decided to read a classic book a week. I selected Silas Marner. When I met my mom at check out, she had had the same idea and picked another copy of the same book! Weird. She read it; I didn't. She didn't enjoy it, but she's glad she read it.
