The following is a exercise in klingon for me, and an intro of me to
others attending the qep'a'. The english text will follow, along with
comments marked in the klingon text.

"While I sit here and cause my hair to be green I will introduce
myself to others attending the qep'a'"
"We will leave this side of the ocean and arrive at your side."
"We travel for the qep'a', we will be present for 3 days."
"There will be me and my girlfriend, her name is Mona Lisa"
"We will apparently be the only europeans present, we come from Denmark"
"I am a studier of computer science and linguistics, Mona Lisa is a
studier of linguistics."
"After the qep'a', we will travel across USA before returning home."
"It will certainly be a glorious event. I expect my memories of it to
be good and last long."
"May we eat pizza and curse tribbles in the 7th month, I shall enjoy that"
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) "I cause it to be green", I'd say no to "I it be green", but when
using the suffix {-moH} it looks reasonable to me.
(2) "Others of the qep'a'", my hidious way of saying "others attending
the qep'a'". Whether this was subject or object I wasn't sure, but
it's "for" them, thus I made it subject.
(3) Looks like a contradiction to how I made "others attending". This
sentence should mean "Apparantly we'll be the only europeans".
(4) Argh, prepositions. "When the qep'a' is over, we will travel from
one side of USA to the other."
(5) "I will remember the qep'a' for a long time"
