Helen of Troy

I forgot to mention a little happening in my last post that was pointed out by izzy...

So I was having Chantelle do my hair Saturday morning...she decided to do French twists in the front to dress it up a little, and as she did, a little girl named Cat, who was standing next to us watching the whole process, said, "You look like Helen of Troy!"

By far the randomest compliment I've ever been paid.

And I'm pretty sure Helen of Troy didn't have red hair. At least, it was blond in the movies.

But it was still pretty cool. So I threw it into a conversation a little while later as a group of us sat under a tree attempting to keep cool. "You must obey me! I am Helen of Troy!"

So Sierra asked, "Well, if you're Helen of Troy, then who are your kings? She had two of them fighting over her!"

Sierra and Brittni were nominated, and even though they both protested mightily, they proved my suspicions later when they fought over something that had to do with me. (I think it was who got to sit next to me during meeting or something...I dunno.) So that pretty much made my day.

Fear me.

I am Helen of Troy.

You are my humble servants.

And I have two kings.

Muahaha.

(that was a most un-Helen-of-Troy laugh...)

Uh-- incidentally, your knowledge of literature is flawed. Menelaus (Helen's husband) was NOT a king, nor was Paris, the man who kidnapped her. He was only a prince, and the younger one at that.

Read the epic. It's amazing.

well excuse me. :P

Still...Brad Pitt and Orlando Bloom. In the movie anyway. Don't really matter. :D

NOT Brad Pitt. He played the part of Achilles, who really didn't care about Helen. Menelaus, Helen's husband, was the cranky old geezer that was always arguing with Achilles.

I will give you Orlando Bloom, he was Paris, the man who kidnapped Helen. In the epic though, he's actually a pansy who was too chicken to fight and was essentially the cause of the whole siege of Troy. Not a guy you want to get tangled up with...
