Sadly, we don't speak it much, but I know all the grammar concepts, and how to pronounce the words. E.G. veni vidi vici is not pronounced ven-ee vee-dee vee-chee it's pronounced when-ee we-dee vee-kee haha that looks absurd but oh well. Also, when you know enough vocab, you can insult other languages in latin e.g. gaul est malus = french is bad (sorry I french, I couldn't think of any other language). Google Translate is so stupid!!!!!!! it uses word order, while latin does not, so the translation comes out really messed up.... haha sorry about the rant.... eh, all the latin that Jason speaks is really easy to translate...

I know enough latin to say: Scio equum stulum esse et Hispanoliam malum esse. ("I know that a horse is stupid and Spanish is bad")

Poseidon. I love the ocean and I spent half my life living next to the largest. I'm not choosing Poseidon because... Well... I guess I'm too attached to the Greeks. Romans are also the said more warlike ones and I prefer Camp Half-Blood more. I guess I'm biased though, as stated before.

Apollo!!!!!!!!!! Greek Apollo, that is. I play 4 different instruments. Mostly guitar, but I can also play bass, drums, and some piano. And I sing. I'm also pretty good at playing stuff by ear and there are several other instruments I would like to learn. I also act quite a bit like Apollo does in the books and while I haven't actually tried archery, I reeeeeeeally wanna try it cuz I think it'd be awesome. =] I also strongly believe that Apollo cares the most about his kids out of any of the other Greek gods, other than maybe Poseidon.
I've also discovered that I'm actually not half bad at poetry, despite my dislike for it. lol
And no, I would not be Hunter... I just, no. Nope, couldn't do it...

As much as I really really want to say Artemis, she just goes off and is like 'I'm going to be a maiden' And I will NOT be a hunter, so I have to say either Posideon or Apollo, I'm really sporty, love archery, but then again... I love being in the water, and the animals. I also think that Apollo is a little bit conceded, when you look farther though, I guess all the Gods are. I would also be a Greek, the Romans are way to high strung for me, and having to take commands all the time wouldn't work out.

Bahaha, looks like Apollo is the most sought dad. Someone should make a poll of this.

That's cuz Apollo is awesome!!! And I seriously believe that, if he could, he would like adopt all the unclaimed demigod kids.... Just seems like something he'd do. =/ I think he'd at least want to adopt Frank.....

Greek! In honestly i would be Apollo , i like rhyme and the sun and those sorts, But Hades, Poseidon and Zeus's kids have the coolest powers (yes- i know they are the most powerful) but still! Lightning and water control and raising the dead :0 it would be very cool.

Out of these 3? Poseidon. I love the water, am great at swimming and like to fish so... yeah XD
Zeus and Hades don't really fit me at all.

Definitely Greek! I was reading The Son of Neptune and I totally felt what Percy and Jason had descibed- a feeling of not belonging. The Romans have always kinda pissed me off As for parents... Not the big three, because there's no way I'd be that powerful. I always liked the idea of having Hestia as a mum. She was goddes of the Hearth, home and stuff. And she can makes 3 course meals appear out of thin air...

I love Hestia too!! But isn't she a virgin goddess or something? But I love how she's always at Camp Half-Blood when a new camper arrives to welcome them, whether they stop to say hi or not. That just makes my heart happy.

I didn't know that, but yeah, she is a virgin goddess- Poseidon and Apollo wanted to date her, but she swore she would be a virgin ( thank you wikipedia. I'm assuming this is right, though wikipedia hardly ever is). But Athena is able to have Demigod children anyway, so shouldn't Hestia be able to? And Artemis, another virgin goddess, has the Hunters of Artemis. Shouldn't Hestia have something like that as well? I'm just making up excuses now.

Well, the Hunters of Artemis makes sense cuz Artemis is, well... Goddess of the Hunt. And Athena has "brain children". They are conceived out of thoughts from their mother and father..... Yeah, that spawned some really really interesting thoughts on that theory. My friend has a whole spiel about it and everything. lol
