I feel like an ant.

"Hey. Could we do that again? I know we haven't met, but I don't want to be an ant. You know? I mean, it's like we go through life with our antennas bouncing off one another, continuously on ant autopilot, with nothing really human required of us. Stop. Go. Walk here. Drive there. All action basically for survival. All communication simply to keep this ant colony buzzing along in an efficient, polite manner. 'Here's your change.' 'Paper or plastic?' 'Credit or debit?' 'You want ketchup with that?' I don't want a straw, I want real moments! I want to see you. I want you to see me. I don't want to give that up. I don't want to be ant, you know?"

I didn't post anything yesterday because it's been a year since this and I didn't wanna think about it. But I miss him.

kirieflowergirl: A fat rant! (As in, a rant by a fat person, not a rant about fat people.)
A fun song by the Gossip.
And JD takes a bubble bath. Only posted because Ten and I have a gigantic bottle of bubblegum-scented bubble bath by our tub, and guess who's used most of it?
My brain is telling me that the time has come to write a story about the Greek gods, alcoholism, and the rising dead. I think it may have something there, but first I need visual representations of the Twelve Olympians. (I've already decided that Hades looks like John C. McGinley.)

on 2007-03-24 01:19 am (UTC)And Artemis and Apollo are sharing an apartment in New York City, where she attends a slam poetry group and he stays inside all day playing his guitar and wooing persons of indeterminate genders. And Hephaestus is living in an alleyway with three cats because the other Olympian gods always make fun of him.* (The whole thing is narrated by Athena**, who thinks that all her relatives are completely nuts. Except for her dad, because since she popped fully-formed out of his head she's unable to see that the Great and Powerful Zeus is now that creepy old guy who sits in mall food courts and waggles his tongue at underage girls.***)
* This is actually true- Hephaestus was ugly and had a bad leg, so all the other gods laughed at him. That was why he tended to stay under Mount Aetna.
** I am basing her off of Nancy Drew. That whole "plucky heroine who loves her dad and, despite being subversive in a lot of ways, still basically enforces traditional societal norms" thing.
*** I say "now", but he really always was. He was just more inventive about it in the Mycenaean Age.

I'm thinking Sean Connery as Zeus. Because the king of the gods needs eyebrows that don't match his beard and a fuckin' Scottish accent.
