My niece is named after her

I just call her Paw cuz that's what her initials spell out

And aren't there other myths where Hades is all "no" and she's all "shut up you idiot husband, I say yes" and he's just "okay" and the myth goes on?

Sorry I abandoned the conversation, guys. Got a new email alert which was super promising at first as being forwarded the email of the daughter of the colleague of the Elders that we want to go meet on this upcoming trip, but.... when I composed an email to her, to try and figure out where in the country they were and get help coordinating a visit?
It bounced.
So then I wanted to try and figure out how to find her another way... but got frustrated and came back.

I wish I knew Japanese!


Bah.

Anyhow. Persephone myths. I first heard it very young, too -because our family cat was named Persephone. So yep. Similar story.

@Kitalpha: I think that was the Orpheus myth, right? Because Persephone is the one who wanted to give in to him?

@akili
I used to study Japanese and even have a friend in Japan. Wouldn't know any of it now though, lol. I really should go back to studying all those things I've allowed myself to forget... Shame on me... Shame...

I'm mostly on all those crime and mystery (mainly NCIS and Numb3rs) fandoms, with occasional few outside of those.

@kitalpha
Aw, that's cute. :) ...The name I mean, lol.

no worries, akili li.

hmm... i speak and read a bit of japanese, too, though i haven't downloaded my translation software onto this computer yet. still, if you wanted to c/p a place name or such, i might be able to help? (...does kofk support japanese text? hm.)

kitalpha hart - that is lovely that your niece is named for her, and paw is a very cute nickname!

leo - ah! i indeed don't recall hearing the song before. natalia has a beautiful voice, though.

Although I'm not a fan of them, I must admit they both have.

Yeah, she's a bit of a spoiled brat
And she attacks video game monsters with a plastic sword while my brother's playing a game

/listens to song

Nice!

@Lilyse, I might PM you when I have a little more to go on, if you're really willing to help! Getting pretty close to this trip and I still don't even know what city they are in.

@kitalpha - oh goodness XD how old is she?

@akili - i can certainly try! i should be awake for at least a bit longer today, and on again tomorrow afternoon (feb 20th, pst) for a while.

It won't be tonight! I'm about ready to call it quits for a while and will need to do more digging on my end first, so don't wait on me, okay?


Kitalpha, that's pretty awesome though, she attacked the monsters instead of being scared. Girl power, right?

okay! just let me know. and maybe in the meantime i'll see if i can get jwpce to run on my computer - it's a very old program, but still my favorite for japanese translation. :9

edit - jwpce installed! and now i'm going to bed. night, all!
