This was a triumph.
HERE TRIUMPH
I'm making a note here:
I WRITE
Huge success.
BIG SUCCESS
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
HARD EXPRESS MY SATISFIED

Aperture Science.
{APERTURE} SCIENCE
We do what we must because we can.
DO WHY? WE CAN
For the good of all of us
HELP-(all)
Except the ones who are dead.
BUT NOT PEOPLE DEAD

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
BUT YOU NOT CRY ABOUT MISTAKE+++
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
YOU TRY+++ UNTIL CAKE GONE
And the science gets done and you make a neat gun.
SCIENCE FINISH, YOU MAKE COOL GUN
For the people who are still alive.
FOR PEOPLE STILL ALIVE

I'm not even angry.
I NOT ANGRY
I'm being so sincere right now.
I TELL TRUE
Even though you broke my heart and killed me.
NO-MATTER YOU BREAK HEART, KILL-(me)
And tore me to pieces.
TEAR-(me)+++
And threw every piece into a fire.
THROW-(me)-(at)+++ FIRE
And as they burned it hurt because
AS BURN HURT WHY?
I was so happy for you!
I HAPPY FOR-(you)

Now these points of data make a beautiful line.
NOW POINTS {DATA} MAKE BEAUTIFUL LINE
And we're out of beta, we're releasing on time.
NOW FINISH, LEAVE ON-TIME
So I'm GLaD I got burned.
I HAPPY I BURN
Think of all the things we learned
THINK-(about) ALL LEARN
For the people who are still alive.
FOR PEOPLE STILL ALIVE

Go ahead and leave me.
YOU LEAVE-(me)
I think I prefer to stay inside.
I PREFER STAY INSIDE
Maybe you'll find someone else to help you.
MAYBE YOU FIND OTHER PERSON, HELP-(you)
Maybe Black Mesa...
MAYBE BLACK TABLE
THAT WAS A JOKE. Haha. FAT CHANCE.
THAT JOKE, FUNNY, FAT MAYBE
Anyway, this cake is great.
AND CAKE AWESOME
It's so delicious and moist.
DELICIOUS, MOIST

Look at me still talking when there's science to do.
LOOK-(at me) TALK++, SCIENCE NOT FINISH
When I look out there it makes me GLaD I'm not you.
I LOOK-OUT, HAPPY NOT YOU
I've experiments to run there is research to be done
HAVE EXPERIMENTS, RESEARCH
On the people who are still alive
ON PEOPLE STILL ALIVE

And believe me I am still alive.
BELIEVE-(me) I STILL ALIVE
I'm doing science and I'm still alive.
I DO SCIENCE, I STILL ALIVE
I feel FANTASTIC and I'm still alive.
I FEEL AWESOME, I STILL ALIVE
While you're dying I'll be still alive.
AS YOU DETERIORATE, I STILL ALIVE
And when you're dead I will be still alive.
WHEN YOU DEAD, I STILL ALIVE

Still alive
STILL ALIVE
Still alive
STILL ALIVE

I'm doing this for my ASL Class' sign song project. I'm half-way memorized and it's due tomorrow. Long night ahead. :P

This is a bit hard to learn but hopefully soon I'll learn this cause there's a local GameStop where I live that's having a video game talent contest. I'm entering as singing and signing Still Alive with a backdrop of portals. :D
