Percy Jackson's Birthday
I know that I haven't posted in a while, but today, as I hope you all know, is a very big day. Today is Percy Jackson's 22nd birthday.
He may be spending the day in College in New Rome, getting a degree in Surfing while Annabeth helps him with his homework. Or he may be fighting monsters. Either way, it is his birthday, so we must celebrate.

- Hid in the Dam bathroom

And what better way to remember it all than with some great quotes?

- “We're staying together," he promised. "You're not getting away from me. Never again.”
- "Look, I didn't want to be a demigod."
- “Dreams like a podcast,
Downloading truth in my ears.
They tell me cool stuff."
"Apollo?" I guess, because I figured nobody else could make a haiku that bad.
- “You are okay?" he asked. "Not eaten by monsters?"
"Not even a little bit." I showed him that I still had both arms and both legs, and Tyson clapped happily
- "You, sir, are a ray of Sunshine"
- “Afterward, I had the last laugh. I made an air bubble at the bottom of the lake. Our friends kept waiting for us to come up, but hey-when you are the son of Poseidon, you don't have to hurry. And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.”
- “Percy: Don't I get a kiss for luck? It's kind of a tradition, right?
Annabeth: Come back alive, Seaweed Brain. Then we'll see.”
- “Behold!" Percy shouted. "The god's chosen beverage. Tremble before the horror of Diet Coke!”
- “Hercules,huh? Percy frowned. "That guy was like the Starbucks of Ancient Greece. Everywhere you turn--there he is.”
- All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock, holding Annabeth's dagger.
"You dropped this," he said, totally poker-faced.”
- “You weren't able to talk sense into him?"
Well, we kind of tried to kill each other in a duel to the death."
I see. You tried the diplomatic approach.”
- “And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.”
- “And,” Annabeth continued, “it reminds me how long we’ve known each other. We were twelve, Percy. Can you believe that?” - Which means its been ten whole years!!!
- "Like your zodiac sign?" Percy asked. "I'm a Leo."
"No, stupid," Leo said. "I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.”
- “Save yourselves!” Percy warned. “It is too late for us!”
Then he gasped and pointed to the spot where Frank was hiding. “Oh, no! Frank is turning into a crazy dolphin!”
Nothing happened.
“I said,” Percy repeated, “Frank is turning into a crazy dolphin!”
- "Well, Percy, what have we learned today?"
That three-headed dogs prefer red rubber balls over sticks?"
- "What does Blackjack want?" she asked.
"Donuts," Percy said. "Always donuts.”
- "Speaking to horses is a Poseidon thing," Percy said. "Uh, I mean a Neptune thing."
"Then you and Arion should get along fine," Hazel said. "He's a son of Neptune too."
Percy turned pale. "Excuse me?”
- “Good fighting with you, Seaweed Brain."
Ditto.”
