Awesome contest!
I just wrote a modern myth the other day for a class.
but i had to make up my own god
and it's like two or three pages, ha.
as if you weren't already amazing enough, you know your greek mythology ahah :]
-
-
im in love with greek mythology,
liikee almost obsessed.
i wish i was a nymph.
they're badass. -
-
haha goddam me too. about the loving greek mythology haha, it's hot that you wanna be, but i personally don't aspire to being a nymph haha. i would rather be dionysus yessss haha. not zeus cause im not a fan of controlling things all the time, and not so much ares, apparently he wore the flesh of people he killed? gross. the buffalo bob shit can go out the window .
yep, im sticking with dionysus. -
-
if you like alcohol and being happy
then hes a good choice,
i'd like to be antheia if i wanted to be a goddess
or selene
because im obsessed with the moon.
or pyche.
it would be a tough choice -
-
all excellant choices. yeah i love moon too. i kind of hate to think of it as just some rock that the sun reflects off of though.. that's true and all but it means other things to me.. so whateva science.
ha i think i wrote some poem once about me singign songs for the moon in my boxers,
and strangely enough i have done that sober haha,
i dont need booze to be awesome. -
-
i wrote a poem about the moon too
id like to do that,
except i dont wear boxers
thats right
alcohol doesnt make you awesome
it make you feel awesome
or horrible
.
hah -
-
haha well hmmm how could we solve that problem.. alright, i guess we'll just have to sing to it naked aha. dionysus would be proud of us
and as for alcohol i rarelyy get hangovers. yippee for me ha.
do you get em too bad? -
-
sounds like a plan!
i dont get hangovers
im just a stubborn lightweight that tries to outdrink the boys
so i tend to throw up.
hahah
-
-
haha nothin wrong with that i suppose. by that time you're already so drunk who cares if you vomit? aha
it seems that i only vomit when i have lots of beers. but as far as hard stuff.. if it started rainin that shit id be the last man standin :]
ohhhh braggin about boozin.
fun times ha.
one time me and my best friend rode our bikes like fifteen miles totally smashed, and he yelled at a gang lookin group of dudes that he boned their mothers.. not once... but THREE TIMES SENIOR. yeah... then they chased us and jake ultimatley passed out in a taco bell, but only after shouting damn they're closed! so i punched him in the chest so he'd he woke up before we got busted.
great times ha. -
-
my stupidest drunk story is that my friend decided it would be a great idea to bring green 2 green tea bottles filled with rum
to school.
how could i resist?
a whole bottle of freeeee rum?
so we were sitting in lunch drinking alcohol and chasing it with gatorade
(so gross you have no idea)
and by the time lunch was over, we were smashed
i mean
i was so drunk it was rediculous.
so i went to my next class and fortunatly we were watching a movie
so i passed out
then when my class ended there was like 1334 people in the hallway and i had just woke up and all the sounds and lights made me sick
so
i threw up, right there in the middle of the hallway.
then i got WHEELCHAIRED to the nurses office
haha and my friend was there sleeping because he got sick too.
and i got to sleep for the rest of the school day
and they never even noticed that i was drunk
it was amazing.
but very stupid.
-
-
hahaha indeed. who could resist free rum??
you badass! except the whole puking and passing out at school
but still..
you're my hero.
Oh wheel chairs for drunk people...
i don't think ive ever been drunk at school,
but I have woken up drunk and had a couple beers to keep it going once or twice.
oh those rock n roll sunday nights. sometimes they get to a kid.
the last dude to get caught peed in the indoor bush in front of a police officer sooo...
he was fucked. -
-
an indoor bush. lmao.
haha i could never do anything bad in front of an authority figure
i have way too much self control.
-
-
glad to hear it because I am much too broke ass to bail you out of jail :]
although I could probably punch down the walls. I'm kind of a professional boxer, but whatever. -
-
hopefully you wont ever have to
im a ninja!
like beatrix kiddoh
