Okay, this e-mail is just incorrigible, and I guess trying this out is better than smashing my computer, right? I mean, I need to do business on it, and I can't afford a new one.

So hi, my name is Josephine -- I'm more comfortable with Seph, though -- from South San Francisco. From skimming the board and the names straight out of antiquity and everything, I'm guessing this is a past lives discussion group? While I do have some memories of four past lives, one of them pretty far back, I really don't remember them clearly enough to add much to the discussion. I'm trying to figure if my mom or my ex let something slip to someone who signed me up for this, because I don't talk about it all that much.

Fall break works. Achilles? Seriously?

How much family do we have here?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Ok. That'll be in about five weeks or so.

Let's see... You're the thirteenth member of our pantheon to appear.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Pantheon. We're... we're seriously a pantheon?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

It's the best way I can describe it.

Let's see, besides you and me, there's Urania, Apollo, Asclepius, Achilles... Ariadne... Dionysus... Um, Poseidon, Medusa, Narcissus... Aphrodite... Oh... and Hades.

And there's about another half-dozen others.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

This is for real?

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. It really is, believe it or not. I know... it's kind of a lot to take in all at once.

But! Tell me about you! I want to know everything!

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Well, I live with my mom; she's retired, health reasons.
I run her shop, Mollet's Meadows Plants and Garden Supply.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Oh, cool. Let's see... I was working at a coffee shop before I moved to the dorms. It was a lot of fun.

Do you have any siblings? Boyfriend? Anything like that?

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Naw, only child. I had a girlfriend, but she moved away recently, and wasn't sure she could handle the long distance thing, so we ended things.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

I'm an only child, too. My parents are writers of erotica. My dad writes scripts and my mom writes novels.

Oh... a girlfriend. That's going to be a surprise for Uncle Hades. Sorry to hear you broke up. Are you looking for anyone new? Me... well... I guess you could say I'm kind of newly in love.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

That must be interesting. Mom had the store, of course. And my father was never in the picture.

I'm not in any rush. These things happen when they happen, right? Congratulations on the new relationship!

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

It's got its interesting days, that's for sure.

And, oh, it was incredible! He rescued me. It was so romantic!

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Oh, that's wonderful!

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

It was amazing. And I knew him almost instantly. I mean, how do you know recognize Achilles? And it was just like... from the very first day I just fell completely in love with him. He's so sweet and strong and handsome... Every bit the hero he was back in the Trojan War.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

I'm hoping without the severe bloodragey stress from losing his therapon or however you spell that word

Sounds wonderful

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Yeah. He's been with me a lot the last couple weeks. Some nasty dreams had him worried, so he's been making sure I'm safe. It's been amazing!

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

Aw, what a sweetheart! I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

You should definitely meet him. He seems serious at first, but he's a big softie underneath.

[asphodelcrowned.insanejournal.com]

I bet. I'd like to.

[roseredheart.insanejournal.com]

Yay! Oh, we'll have to figure something out soon! ♥
