The Ten Commandments of Rose, Peter, and Heather

[lunasariel]

Oh my goodness, so much to write about! There's a good writer's prompt today, and I wanted to get started on a new idea I had today.

Today in Physics, I stayed (mostly) conscious throughout the entire period for the first time in weeks, although I was lagging a bit towards the end. Anyway, this was one of my main goals for this week, now that the horror of the Poisonwood Bible art project is over. Oddly enough, most of my ideas seem to come from Physics nowadays. Today's was The Ten Commandments of Rose, ten absolute rules for me to follow. This idea was vaguely born of my musings on my conversion from Catholic to Wiccan. I was thinking of doing one for each of my friends and family, or suggest that they do their own.

The Ten Commandments of Rose (Goddess, I love this archaic language!):
1. Thou shalt not daydream to the point that thou hast no idea what the teacher is saying.
2. Thou shalt not fear persons of extreme intelligence, but strive to boldly admit thine mistakes and better thyself.
3. Thou shalt especially not daydream about persons (real or imaginary) in various states of undress, for thy teachers art psychic and know of what thou thinkest.
4. Thou shalt not yawn during lectures, no matter how boring the topic may be.
5. Thou shalt remember the names of thy fellow students, lest thou is paired with an unknown who knoweth thy name.
6. Thou shalt keep thine own counsel in most matters, but seek aid of the wise in times of tribulation.
7. Thou shalt not eat thine hair, nor shalt thou stare vacantly into space or perform various acts of personal hygiene, nor shalt thou in any other manner give the impression of imbecility as opposed to deep thought.
8. Thou shalt keep thy trap shut unless thou knowest what upon thou shall speak.
9. Thou shalt speak up lest thou beest concieved of as a moron.
10. Thou shalt honor Jay as a nerd as well as a man, and thou shalt not doubt his faith, nor shalt though expect him to read thy mind or exactly match thy taste in all matters printed or cyber, but neither shalt thou be hyperaware of him in Physics.

The Ten Commandments of Peter:
1. Thou shalt achieve physical perfection before leaving high school.
2. Thou shalt communicate to thy fellow agents only in the secret code of beatboxing.
3. Thou shalt assert thy physical superiority at every possible opportunity.
4. Thou shalt consume sustenance like unto the locust, and like the locust thou shalt travel in a swarm.
5. Thou shalt not let a day past without uttering a scientific or mathematical formula.
6. Thou shalt keep thy phallic symbols holy.
7. Thou shalt mock the world and take its mockery in return.
8. Thou must spout homophobic, violent, and chauvinistic rhetoric on a regular basis, but thine heart will remain as pure as the driven snow.
9. Thou shalt overachieve.
10. And thou shalt be a blending of day and night, civil and not, honorable and dastardly.

The Ten Commandments of Heather:
1. A day spent without conflict is as a day without light.
2. Thou shalt find the gems among the filth, and set them upon pillows of silk.
3. Thou shalt know the difference between arguing and debating.
4. Thou shalt honor Chris, and keep him at thy side forever more.
5. A goblet of mead shalt thou be, overflowing with ideas.
6. Thou shalt live life to the fullest, whatever the cost.
7. Thou shalt put up with those who will put up with you.
8. Never shalt cats leave thy life.
9. Never shalt thou and Jay come to immediate agreement upon any matter.
10. Thou shalt rock on.

I'll probably think up more later, but that's what I've got for now.
