Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don't like them, but my friends do. If you like Death Metal you should check them out.

I like Ancient Roman mythology a lot. It's where my user name comes from.

In the founding of ancient Rome, the daughter of a king became a vestal virgin, meaning that her job was to guard the sacred fire of Vesta, and to remain a virgin. The god Mars raped her, and she gave birth to twins. She was then walled up alive for breaking her sacred oath to the gods.

Shortly after the kings brother killed him in order to become king. The slaves of the former king threw the two babies into a basket and sent them adrift where a she-wolf found them and raised them as her own for a small period of time before a farmer found them and raised them.

Some time later they rose up and killed their uncle taking back their city. Then Romulus killed Remus over a dispute of where the city's walls should go, or something trivial like that, and named the city after himself. The Latin alphabet doesn't have a U, instead it's a V, and it also doesn't have a lower case and also the name Romulus was taken.

Screen name origins now?

During a painting class senior year my friends gave me an idea for a screen name for the website they kept pestering me to join. This is what happened.

Each of us had to go into the library and find a picture to be our subject for this painting class. A very exhausted search for their wasn't many books to choose from that had good pictures. I finally found one featuring a couple of penguins.

Throughout the class I worked tirelessly through lunch to finish this painting. During the actual class time my friends would talk and joke with me. The whole thing was hilarious as my penguins began to breathe fire. My hard work began to mess with my mind for hours of work would go by and I had no clue how I got to where I was. It was like the penguins where telling me how to paint.

I joked with my friends about this and they told me it was the paint. They then saw that this magic paint was all over my pants. Therefore this meant my pants had this power.

So lets see. Talking, Penguin, and Pants. biggrin

Yeah Latin! I'm a proud member of the Latin club at my school. Oxun, lets pass messages in Latin to each other!

Oh, okay...so I'm going to say why I wasn't on for quite a while. I have had a lost in family some one really close to me. She was the one person, who support me when I first moved to the states, after I lost my boyfriend, through a lot of my first lost. She my backbone and my friend. I
I'm not sure what I'm going to do now, but my roomie says that getting all the tears and words out help, so I'm writing here. I thank you, Ten for your support (I read it) and I thank all of you for letting me write here.

Sometimes I am a little hesitant when it comes to music, because I am dead set on what I like. And what I like, I view as 'superior' to some of today's music. I tend to stay within a certain genre, certain style, and I usually will REFUSE to listen to anything else. This is kind of because the one time I decided to be open-minded about music and listen to some band a friend of mine really liked (By the way, Brok3ncyde ******** SUCKS!), I took the CD out of my Boom Box, lit it on fire, and then tossed it into my trash can. She didn't speak to me for a month because of that. I told her, "I'm not an Emo/Scenetard. Like Hell if I'm going to allow that bullshit in my room.". . . I made her a mixed CD featuring Coal Chamber (which is now called Devil Driver, only its original members kinda went bye-bye), Rammstein (from their Sensucht Album), Jack Off Jill, Hole, and anything else ridiculously 90's. .
Yeah, she gave the CD to a friend of hers. That told me that she'd rather stick within her stereotype than rise above it. . what a ******** follower. [/factturnedrant]

Unlike Koji, if I am driving the speed limit on the interstate, I am going too slow, I have been known to plow down the road at 85-95 mph in a 75 zone

music wise I am far more open minded then my vice captain here, but still just as hateful of the music today. I love 80's hair metal and nearly everything coming out of finland nowadays. I like bands with balls and swagger, not whiny dudes with floppy hair and acoustic guitars or skinny white girls singing about fairy tales or some s**t.

as for screen names, I thought of Skotti Gallows in the shower because it just seemed to flow.

I'm the safe driver you pass on the interstate. However for long trips I find going at night is a lot less of a hassle and faster. Though recomend you have another driver to take over when you start to doze.

Now musicals... I know and seen plenty. Can hum Phantom of the Opera and go right into "A beatiful morning." I know all of the songs from "Your a Good Man Charlie Brown" by heart that I play them back in my head for a good laugh.

Music all in all I don't find all today's music horrific unlike our gracious leaders. Though I had enough of country and will turn the radio right off if it goes into a mindless rap song. I take suggestions for music very well and always open to different genres.

I spent the first 18 years of my life in a very rual area in England, and my accent is a combination of broad Yorkshire ( which sounds a lot like the loch ness Scottish accent (see movie "The Waterhorse" for reference)), posh English (thanks to my early school mates) and American. The different aspects come out at different times which cracks up my friends to no end.
