Persephonic 

1. pertains to great beauty borne out of utter chaos and pain

2. pertains to the point where the depth of darkness meets the crest of the light, thereby creating an unsurpassable, immortal, undefinable kind of beauty and bliss

3. pertains to the by-product of two opposing extremes. For example, when the most intense destruction process meets the most inspired creation process, it becomes a PERSEPHONIC process. It is the perfect balance of two imbalanced extremes.

4. the ultimate, universal truth : the world is a paradox.

5. self-contradicting glamour

6. best statement for a situation, wherein, no matter what tragedy happens in a person's life, the end only foresees her in a positive, ethereal light

Persephone

1. Goddess of Spring and Underworld

2. Persephone was the beautiful greek goddess who was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter (Goddess of the Harvest). She was picking flowers one day when Hades, god of the Underworld, saw her and fell instantly in love with her. He then abducted her and took her to the Underworld with him (other interpretations say he raped her, but I don't think so). She was clearly not happy there since she missed her mother and wanted to go back home. He agreed to this and tricked her into eating a pomegranate. She ate six seeds of the pomegranate which bounded her to the Underworld for six months (fall and winter) and the other six months she spent with her mother (spring and summer). She later became Hades' wife which gave her the title of Queen/Goddess of the Underworld.

(This is only one of the Hades and Persephone interpretations)
1. I think the Persephone really did love Hades.
2. I think the story of Persephone is very romantic.

Persephone

A Persephone is that one girl that walks into the room and makes everyone stop and stare at her. She's absolutely stunning and has the best smile. Everyone would die to be friends with her. She'll always be there for you. Even when you think you're not worthy of her time. She can change your mood so fast, sometimes it's crazy. She's made life so much better for me. My besties name is Persephone. It's rare for her to say she loves you, but when she says it to you. Just know you're lucky. She's very sensitive though. She cares too much and when she loves the wrong person, she hurts. A lot. Just remeber to keep her happy and she'll do the same for you. There's not too many Persephone's in the world, so keep yours safe. <33

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
