Unfortunately, the mortal women that Zeus was so attracted to usually didn't find the game very much fun, especially once Hera found them out. For while Hera could be noble and generous, she was no one to mess with. Her temper was infamous. After all, this Greek Goddess saw to it that Troy was destroyed and that every last Trojan was wiped out of existence, simply because Paris thought Aphrodite was hotter than she.

Even Artemis, "Queen of Animals", "Mistress of Wild Beasts" and of the whole of wild nature, is said to have appeared like a frightened pigeon when Hera, angry at her on account of Artemis' support of the Trojans, grabbed her by the wrists and boxed her with her own weapons, warning here that "...if you match yourself with me you will regret it."

The animal sacred to Hera was the peacock.

1. australia:
   I love Australia. It makes me think of "The Thornbirds", and going Walkabout. And I love the Australian names for towns - "Salmon Gums", "Norseman", "Gnowangerup", "Koolyanobbing", et. al. And the terms that express enthusiasm: "Beauty!" "Bonzer!" Oooooo - I wanna go there so badly...! And don't even get me started on New Zealand.
2. clutter:
   I like little cozy Victorian cottages that have knicknacks and dust and cats and cobwebs and antimacassars everywhere.
3. exit 57:
   A really good show - it could make you uncomfortable several times an episode. Sadly, it has gone the way of "Dr. Katz: Professional Therapist" and "Bob and Margaret".
4. green tea:
   It is said to help control one's weight, improve one's breath, strengthen the immune system, rescue little pussycats from trees, and sing harmony with Mick Jagger on "Wild Horses". Green Tea: is there anything it can't do?
5. knitting:
   I knit.
   
   'Nuff said.
6. modeling:
   My modeling school is semi-famous; Andie MacDowell and Ashley Scott went there, and my former instructor, all unwitting, has been on the "Ali G." show.
7. periwinkle:
   If I was a crayon color, that's what I'd be.
8. shiny things:
   I am a magpie. I like beads and sequins and jewelry and wrapping paper and rhinestones and gemstones and dewdrops and mirrors and sea glass and things.
9. the brak show:
   I would like to live inside of that show, preferably as Zorak or Dad.
10. walter becker:
    Has the best male voice I can think of. Rounding off the top 5 are Stephen Stills, Michael McDonald, Don Henley, and the guy who does the voice of "Brian" on "Family Guy". (Honorable mention goes to a person whose name Nikkiah knows...)
