You know what I hear sucks: that being a demi-god sucks.

You know what I KNOW sucks: that being a demi-god's hat sucks.

For starter's I'm a hat, I can't move. If I'm not on someone's head, I'm in someone's back pocket.

Also I've got rotten luck. There I was Invisible cap of Goddess of Wisdom. I was kept in perfect condition, excellent care. Suddenly, look it's one of Athena's billions of children's twelfth birthday. So I'm shoved in a box, delivered by SECOND CLASS Hermes messaging and suddenly, I'm no longer in Olympus.

Now, you'd think a daughter of the wisdom goddess would know how to care for such a beautiful hat as me (hand wash only). But nooo. I don't even think she's EVER washed me.

The first few months weren't actually so bad. She only wore me to eavesdrop once or twice and the rest of the time just left me in her suitcase. When that Poseidon boy turned up ... ugh. Suddenly, I was covered in monster guts, near way too many explosions, and sometimes... I-I'm not sure if can say it. Sometimes... she even let other people wear me. Oh the shame!

After that it was one quest after another. I forgot what it was to be clean and properly cared for. How many times did I hear "Be careful Annabeth."

Hundreds.

How many times did I hear "Be careful Annabeth, you don't want that beautiful hat of yours to get ruined."

Never.

Really, I've only had two strokes of good luck. Being made a New York Yankees hat. Not that I've ever seen them play because invisible hats don't get taken to many ball games.

Oh, and the other good run of luck? I wasn't on Annabeth's head when she kissed Percy. Because THAT would have been awkward.
