From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 01:48 pm (UTC) Oooh I entirely forgot. I'm twenty today! Hmm. I'm going to have to go see my folks - I think 'forgetting to talk to your Mum and Dad on your birthday' would be considered bad manners.
I should probably check my phone messages too.
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 02:17 pm (UTC)
Indeed, it is cause for celebration. And now a song just for you:
Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday, dear Laurie, You still cannot drink.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 02:26 pm (UTC)
Welcome back to the journals. It's been awhile. (I cannot drink publically, you mean. Privately is another matter.)
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 02:35 pm (UTC)
You mean . . . breaking the rules?
I am scandalized. When I was your age I never did such things.
And I certainly never did them four days a week, often on schoolnights.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 02:47 pm (UTC)
Shh. It's not breaking the rules if they don't know.
Does this scandalization involve sharing the cake Jean-Paul brought for me? It's got some kind of Disney Princess on it even.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 02:51 pm (UTC)
If she's made of frosting you should eat her head and torso.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 02:59 pm (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure. It's one of those store bought cakes from the look of it. Was Meg considered a Disney Princess? I mean, she wasn't technically royalty.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:01 pm (UTC)
Which one is Meg? I thought that was the daughter from Family Guy.
From: x_aerial Date: September 13th, 2010 03:07 pm (UTC)
Megara, wife of Hercules in mythology, apparently referred to as "Meg" in the Disney version.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:08 pm (UTC)
Disney made a Hercules movie?
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 03:11 pm (UTC)
Yes; a terrible one, as I recall. Beginning with calling a movie based upon Greek mythology "Hercules".
But Meg was all right. Her hips told not a single lie.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:15 pm (UTC)
Wait, she's the evil not really evil one, right?
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 03:29 pm (UTC)
Indeed, Meg was scheming, sarcastic and complex -- meaning, of course, I had something of a crush. (Did I mention her hips? For a Disney heroine they were quite notable.)
To your other, yes -- Zeus is the Greek name, Jupiter the Roman. By and large the Greek names were used, which served to make the use of Hercules rather than Heracles all the more grating. Likewise, Philoctetes was the man who set fire to Heracles' funeral pyre, not a horn-bearing Danny DiVito. It says much about my upbringing that I recognized these discrepencies at the tender age of 8.
We shall not speak of the numerically inaccurate muses.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:32 pm (UTC)
Wait, they made a Disney Princess that wasn't all like, the nicest person ever? Holy crap when did that happen?
Man, I bet that was one of those movies that my parents didn't let me watch because it'd give me ideas about sex or something.
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 03:36 pm (UTC)
That, or because the part of Lord of the Dead was played by James Woods. (Which, curiously, leads us back to Family Guy.)
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:40 pm (UTC)
So the movie sucked but the Disney Princess was hot and the bad guy was awesome?
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 03:41 pm (UTC)
Ah, see, now you begin to understand. Truly it is a paradox of the ages.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:43 pm (UTC)
Is there a version with just the bad guy and the princess and no Devitogoat?
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 03:54 pm (UTC)
Alas, to my knowledge no. Unless you decide to brave the internet, which I personally would not. Fanart can do terrible things to one's childhood memories.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:59 pm (UTC)
Yeah, no, I know better already. One too many times with the google.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 03:43 pm (UTC) It at least had some good songs though. And not a fainting maiden in sight, if I remember.
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 03:47 pm (UTC)
Very true. Any and all fainting was attributable to plans of Ensnarement.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 03:49 pm (UTC)
I'm not entirely sure fainting as ensnarement would work these days. Truly, we have left chivalry behind. Of course, we've replaced it with regular bathing and the ability to not die at the age of 12, so there's that.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:18 pm (UTC)
Wait, I think I know this one. There's the whole Greek and Roman thing with Zeus being Jupiter, right?
From: x_aerial Date: September 13th, 2010 03:28 pm (UTC)
Yes. In this case, Heracles is the Greek name and Hercules is the Roman name.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:29 pm (UTC)
Wait, that whole myth is a lot more messed up if his name is Heracles. Wasn't Hera the one all pissed off at him and made him crazy and he ate his kids?
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 03:33 pm (UTC)
I thought Saturn ate his kids. There's a painting about it.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:34 pm (UTC)
dude, I think there was a whole lot of kid-eating in the Greek myths. Didn't Zeus eat one of his kids.. no, wait, other way around. One of his kids came out of his head.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 03:41 pm (UTC)
Dude, a hot warrior chick came outta his head in armor. That'd be hot, but doesn't that mean she came out covered in brains? You just don't get past that. It's not like "remember when you were chubby and had a lot of zits?" Who goes "yeah, there was that time you were covered in brains, but you got past that phase and now you're hot."
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:46 pm (UTC)
Wasn't she the one who was all virginsvirginsvirgins anyway and turned some dude into a moose or something?
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 03:49 pm (UTC)
I thought Zeus was the only one who liked virgins? You know, because he's totally got a fetish about popping cherries or something. Or maybe he's just really horny. Didn't he turn into animals to have sex with chicks? That's wrong.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 03:52 pm (UTC)
The golden showers moment in Mythology 101 was a bit terrifying.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 03:54 pm (UTC)
The what? Gross, dude.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 03:57 pm (UTC)
Look it up. I have a feeling that it didn't mean the same thing back then. But if it did, it was seriously gross.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:01 pm (UTC)
What else could it mean? What else is gold and shower-like? Was there liquid gold? Was rain yellow?
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:04 pm (UTC)
I know! That's why I think it's digusting. Especially since they had some really _weird_ ideas about how you get pregnant. Pissing on somebody does not make them pregnant.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:06 pm (UTC)
Maybe it did for them. They were gods so they were special. Maybe they had super sperminated pee or something.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:15 pm (UTC)
Your mind disturbs me greatly.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:16 pm (UTC)
How am I disturbing? I resent that!
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 04:35 pm (UTC)
I fear I must concur with Kevin on the supernaturally supercharged spermination qualities of the gods' seed. There is at least one figure in myth that can trace his origins to Athene brushing Hephaestus' "admiration" from the hem of her robe.
So I am uncertain how much blame we can accord the gods for their seeming disregard for safe sex, as it appears they are capable of engendering children even when no sexual contact has been had.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:39 pm (UTC)
I remember reading a short story about something like that once. It involved Hermes magical sperm bypassing somebodies pill. Also about how worship was like good, and something to do with computers.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:40 pm (UTC)
I just want to point out that Marius agreed with me. Which makes me right. Because he has big words and stuff.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:43 pm (UTC)
I deny your rightness. And I can use words just as big, so there.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:44 pm (UTC)
No you can use words just as big as the ones I use, which aren't as big as the ones Marius uses. Just admit it, he's smarter than you and he took my side so you lose.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:47 pm (UTC)
So not smarter then me. I am smartest of all. Except perhaps Forge, or Dr McCoy but that's because one has mutant brain and the other is just brilliant.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:49 pm (UTC)
You're real convincing when you say "so not" in your argument.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:55 pm (UTC)
:p
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:47 pm (UTC)
Wait, Athene was one of the turn people into animals virgins, but she got pregnant because Hephaestus shot a load into his pants and it got on her robe?
... what?
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 04:54 pm (UTC)
Oh, Athene wasn't impregnated. She wiped off the offending substance.
It was the Earth that became pregnant.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:55 pm (UTC)
That's not any better!
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:52 pm (UTC)
I'm pretty sure the greek myths were just wrong all over the place.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 03:55 pm (UTC)
All incest and crap. They were too horny to not be totally wrong and perverted and stuff. Didn't Zeus turn into wind to get it on with a chick once? How does wind get it on? Is that why Marilyn Munroe was so happy over that air vent thing?
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:58 pm (UTC)
Laurie says he turned into pee.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:02 pm (UTC)
Did he turn into pee to like stealth sex someone? Was he all "Oh, you don't wanna sleep with me so I'll turn into pee and then you can't say no?! I am the sexy pee?"
Greeks were messed up.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:04 pm (UTC)
I think so, yeah. I mean not to goof around but I'm pretty sure that's more or less what happened. Girl wasn't supposed to sex up gods, Zeus wanted to anyway, pee.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:08 pm (UTC)
That is SO not the answer.
God, don't let Cammie get some bright idea that since she can't find another way to try to have sex with me that she should pee on me. I will so murder Laurie if that happens.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:09 pm (UTC)
well, jesus dude, now you've done it. She's gonna see this and try to pee on you with her acid poison death pee.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:11 pm (UTC)
I am so doomed. Maybe I can steal Albert's indestructible suit. Or hide behind someone else. Like Monet.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:19 pm (UTC)
I am entirely not to blame for the pee incident. Blame Zeus for that.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:22 pm (UTC)
It's totally your fault. It's always your fault. You are scapegoat girl. We're gonna brand that on your butt, actually.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:30 pm (UTC)
I have absolutely nothing to do with goats. And you'd have to get near my butt to brand it. I'm much faster then you. *grins*
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:36 pm (UTC)
You're only faster than me for the next couple weeks until Dr Grey-Summers deems my ribs healed and I don't have to lay around doing nothing all day anymore. You're totally catchable after that.

Nu-uh. I was long distance runner type at my previous school. I could entirely outrun you.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:42 pm (UTC)
I have longer legs, I run a lot and I'm not about to take you on in a fair race if I'm going to brand you.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:45 pm (UTC)
I feel that I should point out that I hide better then you do.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:46 pm (UTC)
If I can find Yvette when she doesn't want to be found I can find you too.
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 04:02 pm (UTC)
Nah, mate, you've got it confused. Artemis was the virgin who turned a man into a ruminant. Athene was the virgin who turned a woman into a spider.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:07 pm (UTC)
Dude, how many Greek myths are there with virgins turning people into animals?
wait, aren't they both Zeus's daughterS? Man, no wonder if their dad's all "I'm gonna turn into a animal and sex up this lady over here."
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 04:21 pm (UTC)
Indeed, one imagines the homelife was not conducive to normal development. Imagine, you find a friend of yours is pregnant, the father is your father, and he had in fact used your appearance to seduce the aforementioned friend. I myself would be tempted to transform said friend into a bear solely to ward off the inevitable and no doubt awkward discussion that would ensue.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:25 pm (UTC)
Wait, so Zeus turned into his own kid, got someone pregnant and then whichever one of his kids that was, turned their friend who was pregnant into a BEAR?
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 04:31 pm (UTC)
Yes. Such was the story of Artemis' companion Callisto (no relation).
She was eventually hung in the sky as the Big Dipper/Ursa Major, but as apologies go I feel this was a bit inadequate.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:33 pm (UTC)
You sure it's not relation? Because our Callisto is pretty grouchy... I'd be grouchy if I was a bear and then stars.

Goddesses, the ancient world's first furries?
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:08 pm (UTC)
You would think that turning somebody into a poisonous insect would be the last solution. But I guess, Goddess and all, they're not terribly practical.
From: x_emplate Date: September 13th, 2010 04:09 pm (UTC)
In fairness I believe Arachne had previously hanged herself, so in that respect a spider may have been considered a step up from corpsifying human.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 04:29 pm (UTC)
True. Although that doesn't really explain Medusa.
From: x_aerial Date: September 13th, 2010 03:45 pm (UTC)
Cronus/Saturn, the father of Zeus/Jupiter, swallowed his children alive. Zeus/Jupiter was hidden from his father, who was given a stone instead of an infant.

Wasn't there a goat in there somewhere?
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:50 pm (UTC)
What is with the Greek dudes and goats?
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 03:53 pm (UTC)
I dunno. Maybe goats were like the sexy livestock. Sorta like sheep now. But it's only really the people in New Zealand that think they're sexy. And the Welsh. Uh, don't tell Megan?
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:56 pm (UTC)
And Catherine the Great in Russia! She died of having sex with a horse.

I'm not sure I want to know how she managed to have sex with a horse.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:00 pm (UTC)
She didn't, that's why she died of it!
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:04 pm (UTC)

Maybe they read a lot of Greek myths as kids and it messed them up for life.
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 04:12 pm (UTC)
I think I'm gonna be messed up for life from this. We have horses inthe stables! I've seen their junk! I don't wanna picture that!
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:15 pm (UTC)
Why are you checking out horse junk? Dude, you can't compare yourself to that. They're like eleventy times bigger than you. You're never gonna measure up.

As is the case with myths, there are multiple versions of the story, but yes, a goat was involved.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:04 pm (UTC)
Was it trying to be sexy?
From: x_aerial Date: September 13th, 2010 04:11 pm (UTC)
Only if it considered nursing an infant to be sexy, and for some reason I highly doubt that. Amalthea was a female goat, and her purpose in the story was to provide the young Zeus with milk as sustenance.
From: x_wither Date: September 13th, 2010 04:14 pm (UTC)
That's reassuring. It's nice how there are some Greeks myths that aren't totally traumatic.
From: x_aerial Date: September 13th, 2010 03:12 pm (UTC)
Yes. Disney makes movies out of everything. They take fairy tales, mythology, stories geared for younger audiences, and fine works of literature, then they alter them according to their whims and change them into tales of "happily ever after."
From: x_wildchild Date: September 13th, 2010 03:14 pm (UTC)

From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 03:31 pm (UTC)
Okay, I can't believe you haven't seen 'Pitch Black' It has Vin Deisel being awesome and pretty in it. Also, giant vampire bat alien things that eat the crashed space people.

True. Whilst I would of course never condone such a thing, when one is breaking the rules it is best to do so in ways which do not force others to accord the act undue attention. Under cover of night, say, and far from well-meaning individuals who cannot possibly be expected to babysit those who are ostensibly adults.
Shall I visit you? Now that is a quandry. In doing so I may merely encourage further shenanigans. Then again: cake. Hm.
Very well, I shall grace you with my presence.
Provided, of course, it is in fact a Disney cake, and not a cake of Lies.
From: x_wallflower_ Date: September 13th, 2010 03:07 pm (UTC)
I do not believe that, as Doug would say, 'The cake is a lie' It appears to have Megara on it though, so I'm not sure as to it's validity as a 'Disney Princess' cake.
I shall welcome your august presence. We're currently in the main kitchen having breakfast. (And now it would seem, cake.)

Laurie is being silly. When Attilan rejoined the rest of the world, it was a very important matter to figure out the "new" legal dates of birth in order for everyone to be able to have identification that was an accurate representation of their chronological age.

It was quite easy, actually. All that had to be done was figure out the difference in the rate of time which had passed in Attilan from the moment it vanished until the moment it returned and then compare it to the time that had passed for the rest of the world. Then a simple computer program figured out the rest and the legal birthdays were assigned.
From: x_aerial Date: September 13th, 2010 03:31 pm (UTC)
I am fairly certain that as far as legal matters go, even just one day makes a difference. Next year, on September 12, it would be illegal for you to purchase alchoholic beverages. However, once the date changes and it becomes your 21st birthday, you will be old enough, from the legal standpoint, to buy and consume the same drink you would not have been permitted to obtain only hours before the start of your birthday.

Indeed, Meg was scheming, sarcastic and complex -- meaning, of course, I had something of a crush. (Did I mention her hips? For a Disney heroine they were quite notable.)
To your other, yes -- Zeus is the Greek name, Jupiter the Roman. By and large the Greek names were used, which served to make the use of Hercules rather than Heracles all the more grating. Likewise, Philoctetes was the man who set fire to Heracles' funeral pyre, not a horn-bearing Danny DiVito. It says much about my upbringing that I recognized these discrepencies at the tender age of 8.
We shall not speak of the numerically inaccurate muses.

I fear I must concur with Kevin on the supernaturally supercharged spermination qualities of the gods' seed. There is at least one figure in myth that can trace his origins to Athene brushing Hephaestus' "admiration" from the hem of her robe.
So I am uncertain how much blame we can accord the gods for their seeming disregard for safe sex, as it appears they are capable of engendering children even when no sexual contact has been had.

Cronus/Saturn, the father of Zeus/Jupiter, swallowed his children alive. Zeus/Jupiter was hidden from his father, who was given a stone instead of an infant.

Only if it considered nursing an infant to be sexy, and for some reason I highly doubt that. Amalthea was a female goat, and her purpose in the story was to provide the young Zeus with milk as sustenance.

True. Whilst I would of course never condone such a thing, when one is breaking the rules it is best to do so in ways which do not force others to accord the act undue attention. Under cover of night, say, and far from well-meaning individuals who cannot possibly be expected to babysit those who are ostensibly adults.

It was quite easy, actually. All that had to be done was figure out the difference in the rate of time which had passed in Attilan from the moment it vanished until the moment it returned and then compare it to the time that had passed for the rest of the world. Then a simple computer program figured out the rest and the legal birthdays were assigned.

I am fairly certain that as far as legal matters go, even just one day makes a difference. Next year, on September 12, it would be illegal for you to purchase alchoholic beverages. However, once the date changes and it becomes your 21st birthday, you will be old enough, from the legal standpoint, to buy and consume the same drink you would not have been permitted to obtain only hours before the start of your birthday.
