Turns out a bunch of our students are getting in trouble for painting "Crapalachee" on their chests at our last football game. Shame to get into trouble for something so juvenile. Their band ridiculed us, so maybe we should complain to them? We really shouldn't stoop to their level. But there wasn't even a problem until one of the ladies from Apalachee complained. She went on to say something about all the people at our school are "rich students with no class". Generalize much? I'd like to be rich. Ah, well. I'm surprised Markham is even taking this seriously. Batty old lady.
Also, an assigment I did for English. It's stupid, yes. I sat down on Sunday night at 11:30 to do my algebra II homework and I realized I had yet to even begin it, so it was finished in about... half an hour. See if you can spot something funny about. And, no. I can't write.
Long ago, when the Earth was a mere ball of vapor, Stachki, the star god, who had grown lonely and weary of his brothers, Pebetst , the morning light, and Jerheigre, the evening light, decided to create a place all his own. He took the ball of vapors sitting before him and, infusing them with his power and light, created a small, rocky sphere. He named it Geohari. Seeing that his new creation may also grow lonely, Stachki set upon his surface a plethora of wild, raging beasts and creeping vines.
All was going well, until one night, Geohari cried out to Stachki. “My sweet lord! I have no control over these raging beasts and creeping vines! They are wreaking havoc all over down here!” Stachki could clearly see that he could solve this dilemma without wiping all the raging beasts and creeping vines out and instead set to work creating a new race to control the creatures. The end result was the world’s first people, named the Jolehn. The Jolehn were happy people and learned quickly how to please Geohari and how to
tame the raging beast and creeping vines. However, they also soon learned just what some of the creeping vines could be used for and soon the entire population had sunk into a stupor. Soon enough, the raging beasts
and creeping vines were out of control again.
“Stachki, please!” Geohari howled. “ Your people are misusing your other creations and have lost control of the creatures!” Stachki immediately saw that he could do better than even the Jolehn and he sent a torrential rain to Geohari’s surface, forcing the Jolehn out of the plains and into the mountains. He then set to work creating new people, the Palmucs. He sent the Palmucs down after the to clean up after the great flood, as he had made them a clean, industrious (if somewhat bossy) people. They soon had control of the raging beasts and the creeping vines.
It was not long, however, before the Palmucs had developed their own laws and ethics. They decided that they did not believe in harming the raging beasts, for the beasts were too much like themselves. Geohari soon complained to Stachki again about how the Palmucs had lost control of the beasts. Stachki, as exasperated as he was with his people, sat down to think and help
Geohari out. His solution was to call the Jolehn out of the mountains to help the Palmucs. The Jolehn, Stachki remembered, had no qualms against eating
anything. He called them northward out of the mountains to join the Palmucs. He had wiped out the offending vines and hoped that the Jolehn would behave themselves.
When they did, Stachki realized that, while in the mountains, the Jolehn had grown lonely and fashioned themselves mates out of the mountains’ abundant stone. The Okyon, as they were called, were incredibly strong
women, and the Palmucs grew weary of their constant presence. Stachki and Geohari both wanted to help their people live more peaceably, but they knew this was impossible, as the Palmucs were also beginning to feel jealous of the Okyon. Seeing the Palmucs’ problem, Geohari set forth a great tree, out of which an entire race, the Ealindts, sprang. They were physically similar to the Okyon, but they were softer and somewhat weaker, more suited to the Palmucs sensitivity.
As this did not ease the tension between the Jolehn and Palmucs, Stachki sent them to live on opposite sides of Geohari’s surface, one to form the great cities that men would inhabit and one to form the great farmlands these men would need to survive. When not in direct contact with one another, the Jolehn and Palmucs got on quite well, and they soon had every aspect of Geohari’s surface under their control. Along with the Okyon and the Ealindts, the Palmucs and the Jolehn populated Geohari and mingled, bringing with
them the quiet, sensitive farm boy personality and the loud, raucous city-dweller‘s personality. They spread and changed the great Geohari’s surface and under the influence of Pebetst and Jerheigre, their physical
appearances and daily rituals changed. Soon it was hard to tell that they had once been just two tribes.
And that was how the great Stachki, the star god, formed the Earth as we know it today.
