Greek Pseudonyms

We are bored and we have no lives even though we are supposed to be studying for our final exams, so we decided to compile a list of Greek pseudonyms for our friends for your boredom enjoyment. Hell, you better enjoy it! Do you know how long we took to compile this list out of our study time? Then again, it's probably our fault. <- Hates blaming herself for anything. ;)
So here it is. If you're reading this post, and you think this list includes you, you will know who you are. :P Names in initials for anonymity.

Girls
  • S.H .......... Lyssa ("anger")
    • Constantly raging at life and her mom. Mostly her mom, for making her life crap. According to her, in any case.
  • A.S .......... Eusebia ("piety")
    • Eusebia's so very pure. That doesn't mean we walk on eggs in her presence, just means she's easier to trick into repeating dirty phrases in front of a large audience.
  • A.T .......... Eirene ("peace")
    • Eirene wouldn't hurt a fly unless it interfered with her study schedule.
  • S.P .......... Methe ("drunkenness")
    • Methe's the kind of girl who gets high on oxygen. Too bad the Greeks didn't have a word for "wasted".
  • I.M .......... Neikea ("quarrels")
    • The less said the better.
  • S-M.L .......... Polyhymnia ("muse of choral poetry")
      •  To tell you the truth, I have no idea where this came from. -points at Mnem- IT WAS ALL HER. But, in any case, Polyhymnia likes singing. That's probably why.
    • A.W ......... Hestia ("hearth")
      • Honestly? I LOL-ed when Mnem threw this name in. Hestia? Hearth? Pfft. Bah, Mnem, you add something. I can't think of anything. :S 
    • M.N.......... Euphrosyne ("joy, mirth")
      • Unfortunately, she is going to be leaving this year! -weeps- No, I am not being sarcastic. It sounds like it, but I'm not. Euphrosyne's never in a bad mood... unless you count reveling in the joy of verbally bashing some of her not-so-good-at-teaching teachers until a hit combo of a sideways eight was reached (Yes, I like making video game comparisons. What are you going to do, sue me?). Believe me, its happened.
    • L.T........... Lycorias ("blond Nereid")
      • She swims like a fish. I swear. I'm in her P.E class. That, and she's blonde. Not much to be said. Potential candidates for her pseudonym were Eirene and Euphrosyne... but they were already taken. 
    • Y.S........... Thalia ("Muse of Comedy")
      • ... she rivals Methe. If you thought that wasn't possible before, too bad, it is now. Let's also add the fact that she talks like she has microphone attached to speakers turned waaaaaaaaay up.
    • E.D........... Concordia ("unanimity")
      • Help!
    Boys
    • A.R .......... Atlas ("hell if I know")
      • Quote Mnem: 'So goddamn tall!' There are people taller than him. 's just that he's the tallest person that we're actually familiar with. 
    • M.C ......... Mania ("madness")
      • From cracking perverted jokes in addition to being the dedicated wifey of Lethe, Mania represents everything that is - sad to say - WTF. If Lethe and Mania are either both men or women in actuality... ... ... ... who cares? They're still married (not in real life, anyway. They sure ACT like it though).
    • A.N .......... Lethe ("forgetfulness")
      • He forgets. A lot. Let the fact that Mnem was verbally bashing him for not bringing in his part of the project, in addition to my attempt to wrangle him at another group member's request be known. 
     And let us not forget the gracious creators of this blog ;P (Well, one of them can only really be called gracious, anyway).
    • Mnemosyne - 'Memory'
      • The embodiment of the stereotypical overachiever. Take THAT, Mnem! In any case, the first snarky comments about our wonderful -cough- friends originated from her tiny head, but large brain. No, she does not have a head like Jimmy Neutron does. Although, if it were a cartoon, yep, she'd be Jimmy without a doubt. 
    • Chronos / Kairos - 'Time'
      • The person writing this post. You know me well enough, I guess. I have a messed up sense of time in light of the 'do homework first, game later.' No, no, you have it all wrong. It must be 'game first, screw the homework.'
