I'd like to turn to a type of song that people like myself find ourselves subjected to with increasing frequency as time goes on, and that is the college alma mater. You'll find yourself at a reunion of grads, and old undergrads, and eh... somebody will start croaking out one of these things and everyone will gradually join in -- each in his own key, of course -- until the place is just soggy with nostalgia. Well, a typical such song might be called Bright College Days, and might go like this. Bright college days, O carefree days that fly, To thee we sing with our glasses raised on high. Let's drink a toast as each of us recalls Ivy-covered professors in ivy-covered halls. Turn on the spigot, pour the beer and swig it, and gaudeamus igit-ur. Here's to parties we tossed, To the games that we lost, We shall claim that we won them some day. To the girls young and sweet, To the spacious back seat of our beat up Chevrolet.

It's Nye with my final character, Nut, the Egyptian sky goddess.

She's Juliette McNamara (27), and very much the responsible adult of the McNamara siblings. She has all the qualities of a first born, a perfectionist, and can't stand failure. She's everyone's mother, which means you get the good nurturing side and the bad overprotective side. Her siblings and daughter get it worse than anyone else. (Watch out myth family...she's coming after you.) She doesn't do the bad stuff. For example, drinking. Juliette is a happy person, but she's a people watcher in crowds. She's more open to her family, though, but they'll never get the truth about what she's feeling. When talking to someone, she's direct and upfront and wishes everyone could be that way and is a little frustrated that they're not. She's a supporter of gay rights, and will spend some time at the LGBT club when she can.

As previously mentioned, she does have a daughter. Her name is Jacqueline Janine or J.J. (because, as the first grandchild, she had to keep the J-name tradition), and she is 10 years old, which means there was one time in her life Juliette wasn't so responsible. But everyone makes mistakes. Juliette loves her daughter like no body's business.

At MU, she works full-time at the Bursar's Office in Accounts Receivable Office (get gets the student's payments/process them). She's also going to school part-time; she's an Art major (Studio Arts) and Art Education. Her focus is more drawing and painting than anything else.

As for her powers, she has tiny points of light all over her body. It's hard to see in them in brighter lights, but in a dim/dark room, on a cloudy day, and a night, they show up clearly. These lights represents the stars in the sky, and she does have all the major constellations on her body. Also, the dead are attracted to her. She can't see or hear them, but she knows when they are around her; she just feels it. No one will see her talking to them, Juliette only says things to them when she's on her own.

More about her here. And I'll get to tags and stuff when I return this evening/night!

A wild NEWBIE appears! [25 Jun 2012|04:34pm]

NEWBIE uses NERVOUS BABBLING! It is not very effective...

Hi, I'm Rekla and I bring you Selene, known in this life as Irene Gordon, resident Biology Professor and sheer endless source of patience. Yes. Mythology wise, the most well-known story would be the one of Selene and the mortal Endymion, whom she fell in love with. And since she didn't want him to die (or grow old) she asked Zeus to put him into an eternal sleep. Zeus let himself be persuaded (which may or may not be tied to the two-to-four children she had with him), and Endymion was (sometimes even with his consent) put to sleep.
Which didn't keep her from having fifty daughters with him. Oh joy! Other close Myth-relationships are Helios, her brother, Eos (her sister), as wells as Hyperion and Theia, her parents. :)

The TL;DR modern-day background can be found here, but in short: Irene was born in Switzerland, moved to the US when she met a certain young man, got married to him, he died in a tragic accident, she traveled some A LOT and eventually wound up in Montenegro last year.

She's a generally rather niiiice person, bit flirtatious maybe, with a bit of a problem when it comes to dealing with losses and a tiny health-problem caused by the moon. Additional details can be found in the app, should you want them. :3

As for me, I AM NICE TOO. Really! I'm fairly new to Insanejournal, though, but I'm sure I'll get used to it quickly - but please, please excuse some small noob-fails that might happen in the beginning. XD You can reach me via email (skipthedramabb[at]gmail[dot]com), AIM (sodisquietingly) and plurk (rekla) and I will try to get back to you asap!~
My general being-here can altogether be blamed on the ever-lovely Miri, who first told me about this place and then enabled me. So, so much.

Aaanyway, people who might be students/friends/enemies/frenemies/lovers of Selene, possible housemates, anythings? People she can talk in French/German/Japanese with would be lovely, too!
