Myth of Artemis

You see, Artemis is my favorite Greek Goddess. She’s insanely awesome, yeah?
My admiration only grew today after hearing some of the myths.
A teacher popped into my English 10 class and told us his favorite myth.
This is how it goes…
Artemis, the twin sister of Apollo, is the Goddess of the Hunt.
Under clear days with heavy, full moons, she would bathe, nude, in a lake behind a mountain.
She’d wait for men to gather around to watch her.
Then she’d turn them into elk and hunt them down.
And shoot and kill them.

Doesn’t that sound fun?



Alright, to respond to comments.
I like the first and second, but I'm not sure... .__.;
Paper Planes by MIA is a really funny song XD
"All I wanna do is -bangbangbang- and a -kaching- and take your money."
And it's sung with a funny accent (lol!)

Yeahh. Newport will be like, filled with stupid people, yes?
But more asians.
And asians are supposed to be smart.
Stress on supposed.
Yeah, I've got to take Image/Health.
Well, it's not required, but I don't want to take it next year...

I know! Pity the raccoon, yes?
But hey, we're only torturing mental raccoons.
I am mental god.
My mental raccoon doesn't mind.
(I killed it.)

We don't get animal mascots...
Well, technically we do.
We have island-residing humans as mascots.
Humans are animals, yes?
(XDD)

Homecoming isn't about football...is it?
No it isn't.
-shiftyeyes-
Football is boring-as-hell, like.
They have ugly clothes.

Yesterday I went to my first meet!
I ran two miles in 18 minutes.
(Don't laugh. I'm proud of myself.)
Newport wasn't there, but Interlake, Sammamish and Bellevue were.
I saw Robin W., Derek T., Erin B., Alyssa (I dunno her last name .__.) and Summer H.
Summer is really, really fast o__O
And one of the freshman girls (something Benster...her older bro's also fast) ran a 12 min. two miles.
Isn't that crazy?
But I improved my two-mile time by 5 minutes.
(Be totally proud of me.)

I wonder if BSD homecoming will be delayed 'cause of school.
Anyways...
We get a pre-homecoming parade!
(Except I have piano on friday, so I can't go -.-)
What do you guys do?

haha yep I know that myth.
Thankfully, it's a myth, yes?
Or else mountaineering men would be pitifully low in population.

Paper planes.... o.o
the best part is the *BANGBANGBANG* and the *KACHING*, in my opinion. =D

Ahhh...you guys only had to run TWO MILES
*shunnnn*
ERIN!!!!!!!!!
Awesomeness.

I have no idea what we're doing for homecoming, seeing that I'm STILL convinced that it has something to do with football. It's an insistent voice in my head...not my fault xP

...maybe it's just me
but obviously,
Artemis was dumped by some guy and now hates all guys
Why else would she use her own body as bait for her guy trap?
=D

Lmao yeah
Paper Planes is very attention catching
First time i heard it i was just like
"o.o wtf is this?!"

I thought the Mercer Island mascot was a snail...?
Very intimidating =D
esp. for races
"be careful...maybe they're going to crawl past us when we're not paying attention"

LOL @ Benny
Paper Planes is botherome. Like if you listen to a little snippet of it, it's like oh cool this is an interesting song. But if you listen to the whole thing, it's like OMG STOP OR I'LL BLOW MY HEAD UP.
