Our Last Post To Our Stalking Journey *sniffle*

Well my wonderful friends this is our last post to our wonderfully wonderful journey where we are stalking Odysseus the manliest man alive!! Just a slight recap for people that have not been up to date with our wonderful blog.....well Odysseus came back from the journey.......came back to Ithaca.......entered in the contest to win back his wife.......killed his many fellow suitors.......and revealed himself to the people of Ithaca. Of course the small minded woman Penelope *grrrrr* failed to believe that the man of our dreams is lying about who he says he is. Wow she is very ungrateful for a person who is very unattractive and wants to get a man back who is verrryyyy out her league. (As we always say beggar can't be choosers) Well she decide to trick him! She thinks that a god is trying to trick her (like a god would bother to trick). She orders one of her servants to move the bridal bed and Odysseus immediately freaks out because he realized he married a retard! Or maybe it was because the bed was immovable.......same difference. Anyway being the naive girl she is Penelope realizes that Odysseus is who he says he is just because of knowing a bed can't move! We even knew that! Anyway that is the end of our journey..I know not a very good ending but hey i hear in the national inquirer that Penelope is really a man and their marriage is on the rocks.
Until our next wonderfully random journey

Odysseus Reveals Himself...

We are posting again, after a highly dramatic and stress-filled day. But let's start at the beginning. ..

So, after shooting the arrows perfectly, Odysseus removes his beggar robes and reveals himself to be the hunk that he is to all the men in the hall. Hastily, he fires an arrow straight toward his new target: the head of Antinuos. Then, he boldly confronts the rest of the suitors, telling him of his terms. Immediately, Eurymachus tries to talk his way out of the situation, which is becoming increasingly deadly. But Odysseus is outraged, and doesn't think twice about what he is being offered. With his son at his side, he bravely fights off all of the suitors, beginning with Eurymachus, with a little help from the goddess Athena. We are hidden in the shadows of the hall, and since we have changed back into our feminine clothes, we have no fear of being recognized or killed by Odysseus. With the end very near, we have to go, and watch our lover reclaim his place at the throne, the King of Ithaca.

We're coming home......

Hello again people that adore us,

We have managed to get back home to our friends and family,(although they think we are weird and refuse to have contact with us.) So instead of having a heart wrenched family reunion we decided to follow Odysseus instead (which is soo much better by the way). Anyway on our way towards the riveting event of the archery contest, we managed to take a glimpse of the tearjerking occasion where Odysseus and his son reunite (we also managed to take a picture of them for the tabloids...hey where else do you think we get our fortune?) Well, I guess Odysseus dressed up like an old begger, although he still looked georgeous. He revealed to his servant that he was Odysseus, before he even told us! I mean sure, we already knew, and we were in hiding, but you would think that he would tell his true loves first! But the horrible thing is that he actually participated in the event to marry the ugly old woman he calles his wife. Geeze, we're starting to think thst he is still in love with his wife and not us! Well anyways, he, being as great as he is he strung the arrow perfectly and never missed a shot, wow i wouldnt think he would be so motivated to get his hideous old wife back! Sure, maybe to get us back, but come on! At the end of Odysseus' archery Telemachus had stood beside his father, Odysseus, (well we tried to stand there too but the security was holding us back.) in a way that foreshadows that there will be a fight going on very soon....Well, that's all for now and until then, you will just have to wait to read more and see what happens next.....

And then there was one...

We are back again, with more details of our stalking!!
After visiting Persephone and the underworld, and having been warned by Tiresias, the great and powerful Odysseus says that we are going to head back to Circe's island, and we go to her for advice as to how he should attempt the journey. [We think he didnt really need advice from someone like her, but pitied her and so he asked to make her feel better..] It was hard to hear what she said, for we were eavesdropping from the adjacent room, but from what we gather, there were two possible routes we could take. After you pass the sirens, you needed to sail away from the sound, and head in the opposite direction to avoid becoming ship wrecked. If you do steer clear of the sirens then you head to a route with two differetn obstacles. The first is Scylla, a six headed monster that would eat a handful of his men and the next is Charybdis, a monster whirlpool that swallows and spits back all the water around it three times a day, which would destroy the ship and all the men. So we did as she instructed, although we were reluctant to follow the old hag's advice, and we managed to pass all the monsters with only a few casualties. And, our brave hunk of a captain decided to not put beeswax over his ears like the rest of us weaklings, and he stuck it out heroicly. Anyways, we were now on the island of Thrinacia, and Odysseus warned us not to eat any of cattle or other livestock or else there would be trouble from the god Helios. However, those barbarians we call "crew" could not resist the temptation and while Odysseus was away, they killed and feasted on the cattle. This angers Helios and he threatens to not rise during the day, which in turn irritates Zeus. The next day, while we are sailing away, a lighening strike comes down from the hand of Zeus to spilt our ship in half and kill all of the crew. [We managed to survive by using all of our strength to swim ashore, and using our stalking capabilites, we followed Odysseus as he boldly saves his own life]. He drifts to the island of Calypso where we end our story for now. More soon folks!

The Tenth Adventure: Circes Island

Posting again fellow stalkers!
We had landed on the infamous island of Circe, the beautiful and very crazy goddess. When we landed on the island, Odysseus had told half of the crew to stay on the ship, and we were of that half, and the other half was told to go with Eurylochus, to Circe's frightening abode. She arrived at the door and invited them in to enjoy a feast, and being the greedy men that they were, they charged in without a second thought. However, Eurylochus feared that this was a trap and didn't go in. Instead, he fled to the ship and brought back the unfortunate news that the men were turned into pigs by the goddess! When Odysseus heard the news, he bravely decided to risk his sacred life in trying to rescue his men, and return them to their human form. Even though we were told to wait behind, Ricena and I determined that it would be in our best interest to follow him, so we could get the truest of information. While he was on his way, he came across the messenger god, Hermes, who gave him an extraordinary elixer which would protect him from all of that ugly hag's evildoing. The potion worked flawlessly, and when Circe realized that the who the great warrior standing before her was the famous Odysseus, she gained a new respect for him. This caused the greed in her eyes to show, as she attempted to lure him to her chambers to make love. Now we believe that Odysseus was thinking about how much he would rather be with us, since we are far more beautiful than the goddess, but since my partner and I are dressed up as men, this is hard to be sure of. Anyways, since he could not be with us, he decided to do whatever he could to save his crew from her dadsterdly ways! Just a few days later, he could not take anymore of Circe, he ordered her to return his men to humans. Once this happened, the crew rejoiced and ran back with Odysseus to retrieve the other men. They were overjoyed to see them all alive and healthy, and then we all went back to her mansion to live. Despite our wishes, we too were forced to live in the presence of the ugly hag, who thought she could steal Odysseus from us! About one year later, the crew's begging finally brought Odysseus back to his senses, and he informed the goddess that we were to leave in the morning. The goddess had informed us that to get home we had to go down to Hades and we had to talk to Tireseis. With this dreaded information, we plan to set sail tomorrow. That's all for now, and wish us luck!

Our Ninth Adventure!

Hello fellow stalkers!!
We have embarked another journey with our obsession, Odysseus. We traveled to the island of the Lotus Eaters, where they tried to make us stay on the dreaded island by making us eat some sort of addictive drug that made us forget about trying to get home. Well, we thank our mothers for teaching us not to take candy from strangers and for the fact that Odysseus told us not to eat or drink anything (that smart and gorgeous man....). Odysseus had to tie some of our men up to the ship to get them to leave! Next we went to the island of the Cyclopes (You would think they could take a shower once in a while.) Well, we have got to tell you, it was even more wonderfully random than we had expected! I mean, it is one thing to not worship the wonderful, talented, and very good looking man Odysseus, but to eat his men and even try to eat him!?!?! That is just crazy....... Polyphemus trapped us in his cave behind a huge boulder and even ate the soldier who sold us the silky lock of Odysseus's hair! Well long story short, Odysseus' witty and sly plan worked by getting the huge cyclops drunk, and even pocking out Polyphemus' eye! To get out of the cave we had to hide quietly under his sheep and when he let them out to graze, we too slipped unseen out of the cave. Well fellow stalkers that is the end of another wonderfully random voyage with our lover Odysseus. Peace out!

The Stalking Begins...

This is the legendary first post of the official Our Wonderfully Random Voyage blog. The purpose of this blog is mainly to discuss and share our obsession with following Odysseus as he overcomes many obstacles during his adventure home to Ithaca. We hope that you will appreciate the high level of stalking that we have accomplished in order to post these events in such detail. For those of you who don’t know, Odysseus is an Ithacan hero who is unfortunately already taken, by his wife Penelope, and together, they have a son named Telemachus. When we first found Odysseus and began to write about his whereabouts, he was being held captive on the island Ogygia by Calyspso, who had fallen in love with him. WOAH! WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A SECRET SOURCE!!! Apparently Athena has been trying to reason with her father Zeus, and make him let Odysseus off the island to return home. When this doesn’t work, she disguises herself as Mentes, and persuades Telemachus to have faith that his father will return and he must gather his strength and order the suitors off his land. Until we receive more information, this is Mobergeus and Ricena, signing off.
