People (you know, They) say that history is important because it repeats itself, so you have to pay attention, as if remembering the dates of the War of 1812 will actually help you do more in life than pass 7th grade. That’s why we loved studying Mythology when we were in school, because it is like history that didn’t really happen. It is full of life lessons, and morals, and can help you become a better person, and all that, plus it was cool that the teachers were so serious about stuff that was totally make-believe.

Mythology is full-on geek stuff; D&D of the Middle Ages, or whenever that was. Muscled men, scantily-clad women, silly names and all. One pretty popular mythological character was Narcissus (see, here’s where Wikipedia picks us up) shows up in a lot of tales. We were supposed to learn from the tales that Narcissus was an asshole who treated everyone who loved him like crap (like some guys we’ve known) but what everyone really remembers is how much he loved himself. Kind of like @NySoFckinFierce, who in less than an hour, posted all these pictures of herself on twitpic:

as well as these

and these

Narcissus fell in love with his reflection in a pool. He pined away there for the love of his life that he could never have, and eventually died. (The end)

So, what’s the moral of this story? There really isn’t one, since now, thanks to modern technology, @NySoFckinFierce can take the image of her soul-mate with her everywhere. We still recommend keeping her away from the koi pond, just to be safe.
