Halloween and all things Greek!

(first off, before you all go correcting me I KNOW it's not Greek but more Druid/Celtic I've studied it all folks)  jeesh just read the post...

I'm soooo excited... I love Halloween.  I mean come on, the free reign to dress up and be anything you want to be???  WOO HOO!  So this year we have decided to do a group "theme".  This is an interesting story.  So, if you've happened to notice, I've listed on my left sidebar some interesting information regarding a new competition I'm in.  Affectionately I've named my competitor Apollo - the description of the Greek God fits him well and we'll work on the "relationship" issue Apollo is unfortunately associated with in mythology.  So of course, I had to pick a name for my self.  As I thought over all the Greek mythology I knew, The Titans, Olympians, Argonauts, Nymphs et. al. I remembered one that fit PERFECTLY... Yes NIKE (pronounced NEE Kay)  Nike is the Goddess of Victory.  Then another thought hit me... HEY I saw that statute and took a picture of it while I was in Paris!  It was one of Amy's favourites as well.  Where my picture isn't so great... This one from the Louvre website is much better.  It was a perfect fit and hoped to be quite intimidating to Apollo.  We shall see how the games turn out.

Now, moving on to Halloween I told Apollo hey, why don't we go as those characters it would be great!  With that, a friend who's rented a whole club for a private party, and a ton of you interested folks... we're going all out GREEK MYTHOLOGY THEME this year!  Join us if you like, any costume is welcome this is just a theme my group of friends is doing.  If you didn't get the invitation shoot me an email... it is invitation only but I will be happy to supply you with the link to get it!   So far the following costumes are taken: (again email me if you want yours added here no worries if not)

Nike          Apollo          Medusa          Minotaur

See you there!

Apollo,
I told you not to bring up the Batman costume in front of our friends; it's for "special" occasions only! AND NO, you can not bring the utility belt out in PUBLIC JEESH! Shall we just spill all of our intimate secrets here? Oh and "DEMANDED"? Zeus=Old Crotchety God, Apollo=Super Hot Archer Nature God... Yah, bad choice on my part...

Hi this is Apollo

Hey Nike, I thought you were joking when you said that we were dressing up like Nike and Apollo! In fact, I laughed about it later that night when I tried on my new batman costume! Ok, if I dress up like Apollo, can I wear my batman utility belt?

Also, I wanted to be called Zeus (you know, divine king, leader of gods) but no, Nike "demanded" I was Apollo.
