Mistaken! Read First

I just realized that 'frak' is a swear word! Oh no!

I will never say it again.

I am truly, truly sorry.

Note: I just deleted a part of a post where I wrote about how relieved I was that I could use the word because it sounds like a swear word though it's really not, but I just found out that it is swearing and I have misled you.

Ohdearohdear.

Secret Keeper

I am back from school, thank goodness, because I thought I would go crazy because of another second of superficiality. And a certain person in one of my classes would do well to know that I am not the teacher! If you want to know about a worksheet, I can't pull it out of my ears! Go find the teacher!!!

Oh, I've started this out on a completely unrelated note. I wanted to tell you about one of my friends, and that she told me a secret!

It's a ridiculous secret, but in school, so many things happen that make me wonder that it's nice to know something no one else knows. Or maybe (probably) someone else does know. Blast.

I get that sometimes, though. People tell me secrets, ask me for advice, like Worksheet Fellow, and sometimes, like Ol' Worksheet Guy, I can just say "GO ASK THE TEACHER, YOU IDIOT, I DON'T KNOW!" but sometimes it's much, much harder. Sometimes one friend will tell me their reservations about another friend, and I'll hear and see two different sides, and I don't know what to think anymore. I go to other people for my advice, like my mother, for example, not neccesarily my friends, but they go to other people. Who go to other people. Who get on talk shows and get their advice there. But even they get advice from someone!

Who does everyone get their advice from, tell their secrets to? Is there just an old wiseperson who knows everything about everything? Or is it all in a circle and, indirectly, the talk show hosts get their advice from me?

When your mother asks, "Do you want a piece of advice?" it is a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway.

Muse for Today:

Well. I don't know. I went to Chorus today, so Polyhymnia, Muse of Choral Poetry.

Minutes Later, I Get A Title

"Muse for a Day."

Yeah, you're thinking, whatever. But I've decided to put the name of the Muse kind of mood I'm in. I need a theme, you see.

Thanks to my old buddy, Wikipedia, here's a chart of the muses and their meanings and emblems.

Today seems like a Melpomene to me.

I Really Need A Title

Sometimes the titles of my blog posts sound like really weird chapter titles.

I have no idea what I should name this thing!

I'm just putting this out there to assure you that 'Blah Blah Blah' isn't a permanent title.

Percy Jackson Stuff

Right now I'm reading Tales of The Greek Heroes, by Roger Lancelyn Green, and he is very good. I've read Percy Jackson, too, and familar names pop up, to which I smile (or frown- depending) for names like Hesperides, Minotaur, Procrustes, Hercules, Pan...

There seems to be an excess of beautiful maidens and brave princes and adventuresome heroes in those days, like in King Arthur's days, where you step out of your front door with your coffee and thirteen different adventures land upon your head and clamor for your attention. Too bad things aren't this way now. Really. I haven't had one adventure, ever. I just went outside, too. Approximately cero landed on my head.

Two of my friends at school, a boy that I hate, and I are the only people in the entire year that have read Percy Jackson! It's a bestseller, won the- the Caudill, I think? and is a worldwide phenomenon, and there's one stupid school in the world that spoils it for everyone.

My newer friend wore her 'Camp Half-Blood' homemade shirt today, and we walked around lying to everyone.

Everyone: Camp Half-Blood...what's that?

My Friend or/and Me: It's a summer camp.

Everyone: What do you do there?

My Friend and/or Me: Oh, you know, the usual stuff...archery, rock climbing...it's really fun.

Oh, I love in-jokes! The only problem is what if they read the books?

Additionally, for a little bit of HP, it's Hogwarts's First Day of School! And my cousin's birthday!
