Lol it doesn't look bad. Though it's kind of weird. And I can't wash it untill tomorrow or friday so it's going to get very odd before I can wash it (I can wash it more frequently...and I'll get the original perming chemicals out of it..so it will look and probably behave a bit better) I got tons of compliments...even from people who normally go out of their way to say only mean things untill they want something from me

So, I got my hair permed today. I'd never done it before, and I must say, while the process isn't the most enjoyable in the world, I am really happy with the result. It's hard to imagine what I would look like with curly hair, so I really didn't know what to expect. Everyone says it smells really bad...this doesn't smell *bad* but rather odd....I think it smells more than a bit like...corned beef seasoning. Yes, my hair smells like a highly spiced piece of meat I don't mind though. It's not as bad as the time I stank of burning feathers from something I did in shop class. I can't wait to see what everyone at school says. I can hardly believe tomorrow is Wednesday already...the AP exams are closing in...I'm not thrilled about taking them. I'm sure they will be torture can't wait to have them over with though. I put in a job application, the place wasn't officially hiring but they gave me an application anyway, so I filled it out. Its a start anyhow.

There are different methods you can learn that don't require thumbs however. You don't *have* to line the arrow up over your thumb, and a wrist strap can be used (you aren't supposed to actually grip the bow anyway. I do, but I'm bad ). I can achieve pretty good accuracy though, and I don't use my thumb in drawing the bow at all, I use three fingers. While it may not have been "standard practice" I maintain that it could definitely be learned. (I know someone with no use of her arms and she still manages to shoot in gym class---she uses her feet. So it is possible.)

That does make sense though. They could also have been archers. You don't need thumbs for archery. Probably don't need them to fire a ballista either. But it would be exceedingly difficult to use a sword without thumbs, even with the blade was strapped to the wrist.

Try this: tape your thumb to your hand, then try to tie your shoe. That's about how effective the thumbless solders probably were

lol I'll keep that in mind, however by the time I've found that stuff I'll be over it. I can drink things again (YAY I was so thirsty!!!! but I still have to be careful and I risked eating two apricot halves cut up into tiny pieces.) I'm going to ask mom to make some orange jello with oranges in it for me when she gets home. A can of ginger ale (ahhhh) and a hot bath really helped. Then I put on a Staind cd and slept. I spent a good portion of the day crashed on the couch. I cannot eat a chicken finger again, nor can I think about one. I threw up because I accidentally thought about chicken fingers

So on Easter we went to my grandma's for dinner. My gram had a stomach virus and was not feeling well, but my mom thought it was "side effects" from all the meds she's taking. Yea, well, "side effects" are not contagious. Last night I spent the whole night puking my guts out...amoung other things. I couldn't sleep a wink. I spent half the night eating popsicles because they were the only source of water that I (thought) I could get to stay where it was supposed to. Of course I threw them up all over the kitchen floor, but at least some of it got into my system. Dehydration sucks. I've now *attempted* to drink some regular juice (I've no spit left so with the popsicles I kept swallowing air. not good) and I'm hoping I don't throw that up as well. Man, am I ever thirsty and I can't drink say, a whole quart of juice in 10 seconds either like i'd like axiously awaiting mom to bring home that ginger ale I was going to paint my room this weekend but it's raining, and my mom won't be home. Bah. So that will be put off until I don't even know when... I'm probably going to miss school monday, I can't imagine being able to eat by then. That majorly sucks...because I have an art project that pretty much has to be done monday. There's no real leeway because its a clay project and getting close to the art show. On a positive note, I've started a copper and brass sculpture in shop class. I hope it turns out as well as I envision lol It's really fun to work on though

It's generally stated that he painted his face red-red being the supposed color of Jupiter's own skin. He wanted to make himself appear like the God.

lol I have no idea what she was thinking. I didn't have time to ask (and at my school I might have gotten kicked out of the auditorium and detention for being "disrespectful" if I had. Ugh. What did my principle say...oh yea..."it doesn't matter if you right, as soon as you tell your teacher they're wrong...you're wrong" (of course most of the teachers don't abide by that. They love to be questioned much of the time)

LOL I've seen this before. driew eruoy siht, daer nac uoy fi.

The thing is, I'll probably never see this person again, as I don't plan on contracting any...diseases and I really wasn't listening to the part where she told us how we could contact her as an interesting side note, she also told us that syphillus was the cause of Van Gogh's cutting off his own ear. I suppose it is possible that she got Caesar's epilepsy confused with the mental effects of an advanced case of syphillus.

I hope all goes well for you, yes doctors can be a pain sometimes. Doctors assistants are even worse....

I have nothing to offer other than speculation however I'd assume that some soldiers could read and write, I've read that these were often given special positions. I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that even among common legionaries at least a few in any given camp or barracks was literate. Given the bordom of life in the barracks or at camp (there was alot going on but there would also be alot of "down time" with nothing much to do) rudimentary knowledge of reading and writing may have spread, just for something to do.

She was the "nurse of STDs" she had nothing to do with history.

I really don't know who to complain to lol. What we can be sure of though, is that since this is a high school, maybe only one person out of the entire audience will actually remember. I wonder how many classes she told that to though, as she gave that lecture several times today.

Absolutely no evidence lol. I was going to ask but we were running short on time. (And I didn't pay for the lecture lol. I was made to sit through it at school. But at least it was mildly entertaining)

I heard today at school that Caesar suffered from syphillus...now I knew about the epilepsy, but is there anything historically to support the syphillus claim? Or was it simply concocted by the speaker on STDs to..."educate" us?

OMG YUMMMY!!! I want some!!! ::is jealous:: we only had very salty slightly dry ham. It was good, but it was no baklava and pastry puffs. What?

That seems like a busy time as well there Spurius. BTW glad to see you back Happy birthday to Victor!
