And so Xenophon Cheated the Oracle by Asking not for Permission, but for Patronage...
01. Name Gidge
02. LJ Username angel_gidget
03. How did you find out about the Percy Jackson series? I saw the trailer, knew I was gonna see it. Also knew I had to read the sucker before the movie came out, or I'd never get around to it. I saw the movie on the very day I finished reading the book. Righteous indignation ensued. Then I read the rest of the series to make up for it.
the oracle
04. What do you wish to accomplish in life? Money, freedom, friends, and familial pride, hopefully through a creative outlet that will justify my entire college education.
05. What type of magical object would you like to have? Something very portable that converts into a projectile weapon. No close combat for moi.
06. What makes you like or dislike a person? Someone so friendly, who makes such a lovely first impression, that I overlook their flaws as I learn them.
07. Are you a leader or a follower? Mostly a follower. Can be leader when there is an utter lack of alternatives.
08. What would you consider your fatal flaw? My avoidance of tense situations.
09. What do you think are your top five best qualities?
01. Sweetness. I can be quite encouraging.
02. Eloquence. I can often find something to say.
03. Optimism. I don't let too much get me down.
04. Artistry. I have a fun creative streak.
05. Enthusiasm. The geeky kind.
10. What do you think are your top five worst qualities?
01. Cowardice. Again, I avoid confrontation.
02. Sloth. Somedays, some months I am just ridiculously lazy.
03. Judgmentalism. I don't say it out loud, but I'm thinking it.
04. Indecision. And it takes forever...
05. Obliviousness. If it's subtle, best assume I didn't get it.
the series
11. Who is your favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Annabeth Chase, for her courage and smarts and snark. (Somedays, Percy for his combined awesomness and dweebishness.)
12. Who is your least favorite character in the Percy Jackson series? Zoë Nightshade (Such a chip on that shoulder...)
13. If you could spend a day with one of the Percy Jackson characters, who would you choose and why? Apollo, for the very shallowest of reasons... and that he makes me laugh. So, drooling and laughing. Fun times, right?
14. What is something you would change about the series? Give Hera a little more credit. And maybe throw in an Eros & Psyche cameo appearance.
15. What is something you would never change about the series?Suffice to say.... the majority?
etc
16. Pick a fictional character from any book/movie/tv show/etc. Which cabin would you place them in and more importantly why? I would place Cassie Sandskark, aka Wonder Girl, from DC comic's Teen Titans into Cabin #1. She is canonically the half-human daughter of Zeus, and I always thought that was major crossover material. Like somebody simply never got around to telling her about Camp Half-blood, so she became a superhero instead.
16.Sort these words in order of appeal to you: beauty - glory - security - power - wealth - self-fulfillment - freedom. Explain your answer.
Security, because I can't enjoy something without feeling safe.
Beauty, because there needs to be something worth living for.
Wealth, for it's own degree of security and freedom it engenders.
Freedom, to cover the kind money can't buy.
Self-fulfillment, to make sense of it all.
Power, to grant these other things to people besides myself.
Glory, as the biggest "thank you" possible, for using power to help others achieve freedom, wealth, beauty, and security that they may pursue self-fulfilment and enjoy life with me.
17. Which god do you feel the least likeness towards? Bachus. He always struck me as bad news dressed up as a birthday cake.
