15 Steps to Seducing Women as an Ant.

By
Okay so I'm quoting wikipedia which is always scary but with regards to the myrmidons it says: "Their eponymous ancestor was Myrmidon, a king of Phthiotis who was a son of Zeus and "wide-ruling" Eurymedousa, a princess of Phthiotis. She was seduced by him in the form of an ant."

"She was seduced by him in the form of an ant."

How does this happen? My brother came up with a theory:

1) Zeus and Thor are hanging out in a bar.
2) They both get smashed. Really really smashed.
3) Thor brags that he nailed this princess after killing a dragon or some such.
4) Zeus says "Dood thatsh nothing I've nailed plenty of princeshshesh."
5) Thor tells him he's just making things up and bragging.
6) Zeus says "NO really I have! Tonsh of timesh!"
7) Thor says prove it, and points out Eury's daughter.
8) Zeus says "That would be too eashy"
9) Thor says Zeus is just being a wimp and tells him to put his money where his mouth is.
10) Zeus says "[hic] Fine! I'll go one better...I bet I can do it ash an ant!"
11) Thor is drunkenly impressed and they think of some huge horrible thing that Zeus will have to do if he fails or renegs.
12) They resume drinking.
13) They both pass out.
14) They wake up.
15) Thor remembers the bet.

But seriously.... WHO THINKS OF THESE THINGS? An ant? Seducing a princess? Was he out of KITTENS?

Sheesh.

All of this came because I was googling [The Myrmidons] on Drenden. Turns out Wulfa and Udacha(youngest dumb brother) joined their guild. And they chat a lot and run Kara 2 nights a week.

I'm still debating. I really dislike the "Hey can I join your guild my friends did!" approach. And I can't really think of a reason to cold whisper a guild leader and ask for an invite. Also they have like 5 level 65+ shamans.

Now me debating guilds? This is not reason for a post. But a drunken bet that you can seduce a princess while you are an ant? And then make enough babies for a nation to form? Now that is blog worthy.

Speaking of blogs: Check out this awsome: http://robinhobb.com/rant.html

I'm talking to you Ego! Vonya deserves a BOOK!

One would think the nearly-all-powerful thunderbolt-chucking GOD would have no problems running seduction games as, ya know, himself. Is what works fer me, and I's just a simple orc. Maybe Hera were being extra watchful and he needed ta be all teeny-tiny to escape the notice. *shrug*

An ant. Great googly moogly...

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Werewolves are always better.

The question answering post will come tomorrow. Sunday was too busy. I just finished reading Twilight and New Moon . When I first started Twilight I wasn't impressed, it seemed slow and bleh and very teen dating girl story. Last night I got home at about midnight... I picked up New Moon. I was only going to read the ending to the scene that starts in the back of Twilight.... I didn't get much sleep last night(due to finishing New Moon). I'm loving the series. Although, wow these vamps scare me. Why? Because they are harder to kill. After reading the first book I spent 20 min thinking of counters. For a counter to be valid it has to be balanced. I can't just say "I'm superman and Vampires are deathly allergic to me and I heal like wolverine and have a robot army." (although when I ran into the aliens from Alien/Aliens/AvP for the first time, my counter at the time was almost exactly that.) I came up with the Dancer. He's a completely normal ...

There be too much history.

By
For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
