Definitely looking forward to finding Circe.
Trying to imagine what my companions would look like in animal form is exciting... and disturbing.
...animal form? that sounds really, really creepy.
This is something I fully plan to do over the summer. I'll have to work really hard to level up, perhaps next summer?
Totally. I should do it over the summer to.
Just start doing the task. If you do this task appropriately, you should be able to let the levels sort themselves out later and sign up and submit at the moment you're eligible.
That's what I'm going to do. Beginning. . .

Sorry. If it's going to be an epic journey, it needs a katabasis.
Depends on the epic, but it's certainly an option.
I'll start the moment school lets out. Or the moment I stop caring about waiting until school lets out. Either way, thanks Burn Unit!
Burn Unit is probably tackling the challenge of the Lotus Eaters. Right now.
Man.
I just checked my 'Currently Working On' tasks and this seems to be one of them. Which is weird because I don't remember signing up for it, and I'm definatly not quilified to sign up for it anyway. Not that I'm complaining!
Perhaps someone added you as a collaborator and then dropped it, leaving it all for you.
Either way, that's pretty cool.
Clever, I wonder who it was... Oh wow, I feel loved. Things seem to be going well for me lately!
Please unretire this. I know someone who is going to complete it.
Thanks.
And within 5 hours, SSI provides.
They truly do offer a better product at a lower price than their competitors.
Oh fuck, I have to hit level six by this summer. This IS my summer.
I'd love to do this. But I have, like, a job. And taking more than two weeks of leave requires approval by high up types. And I don't think, "going on Odyssey" would qualify for the seal of approval. This makes me sad, and hate my job right now.
There will be a time in your life where this will be possible, maybe even probable.
one of my all time favorites. want to do!!!! too bad i'm not at level yet and ... it has to be BART related?
Just bought tickets for this. Hoping it will inspire me.
SOUNDS SO COOL! tell us about it, even if you don't task there

I read the Illiad and the Odyssey in sixth grade and never again since then. So the story was a bit foggy for me. So I had to do some research before setting out on my own odyssey. I learned a little bit from wikipedia, and then with that little bit ...
