And it's got this idiotic question in it:

Pick a love god/goddess that sounds appealing to you....

Cupid - A love god of courtship and romance
Eros - A love god of passion that helped spin the world into creation


1. Cupid and Eros were the same person. Cupid was the Roman name, and Eros was the Greek name, but they're the same deity.
2. Eros had nothing to do with any creation myth. And the Greeks didn't believe the world was spun into creation either.

There are other options:

Persephone - A love goddess that was wronged by her husband, Hades.
Psyche - A love goddess that got involved in affairs with Aphrodite's lovers


Persephone wasn't wronged by her husband! Okay, sure, the kidnapping thing, but thats' not what "wronged by her husband" is generally taken to mean. And he let her go!

And Psyche? She didn't get involved in Aphrodite's affairs! She wasn't even a friggin' goddess! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

And it gave me a completely bogus answer, too... )

Still needs some tweaking, but I think I'm gonna *like* this new journal style!

Like I said, we're still in Cicero. Lemme explain what's going on... This guy, Cataline, had gotten himself into a bit of a cash flow problem. So he had this bright idea that they'd take over the government and abolish all debts. That was his brilliant plan, stop paying back money... *rolls her eyes* Anyway, our friend Marcus Tullius (Cicero) got wind of this and argued against him in the Senate, claiming that even though there was precedent for just ordering him to be killed, he'd wait until there was nobody left "tam inprobus, tam perditus, tam tui similis" (so wicked, so immoral, so much like you) who would be able to say it was done unjustly. And that's where we are now.

There's this one part I want on a user pic, though. Lemme quote it:

O di inmortales! ubinam gentium sumus? in qua urbe vivimus? quam rem publicam habemus? Hic, hic sunt in nostro numero....

Oh, immortal gods! Where in the world do we have our nation (not sure about that translation, but...) In what city do we live? What sort of republic do we have? These, these are in our number....


I so seriously want a userpic that just says: O di inmortales! Quam rem publicam habemus?

Hm... And maybe one that says "res agit" which is the most vague sentence in the entire latin language.

Thanks Xiggy for telling me to download winamp. I'm in awe with the coolness of the phone posts.

Jenn, no seeing you today, sowwee, staying home with Mommy. Besides, is cold out.

Nothing else to say. Um. Bye.

Your Bush is the VILLAGE IDIOT!

For you, all of Bush's antics have one simple
explanation: He's dumber than a bag of hammers.
The lights are on but there's no one home,
and he's got nothing but toys in the
attic. He got almost-elected on the strength of
his face and his last name, and all the hell of
the past 3 years is just what happens when a
man with the intellectual capacity of a
hormone-mad goat is at the helm of the most
powerful nation in the world.


That's Your Bush!

Pity there's no pictures....

Also a pity the quiz results are all true. I am rapidly losing faith in this country.

This post was brought to you by the ABBA group. Yes, that's right. ABBA - Anyone But Bush Again. Be sure to support us in all upcoming elections, demonstrations, and assasinations happy dreams.
