oh the places we will go tonight... yes yes avoiding homework (i got my studying done, but have yet to do the papers) oh the papers the bane of my existence i know i keep saying that about different things but truly papers must be.
So now we sit with comps a rolling and mouths a strolling, discussing counterweights, jokes and holidays.

Laurel demands I work but she said she was going to bed like an hour ago so she is a dirty filthy liar. Which she claims does not make her unable to tell me what to do.
Thanks for the holiday gifts and wishes bre and krystin the mints were truly delightful. as were the crackers.

In other news, I worry bout peoples who dont like to tell me their worries, only hint at them and then suggest that we talk about it later. Which i try to be ok with but you should have heard my heart pound after hearing that phone message.

and on a completely different note, this is what I wrote last night about depictions of witches:
The concept of witch covens remains today, but the popular focus has switched from demonic pacts to female or nature empowerment. In popular culture we see many depictions of witches in which the same behaviors or spells as those referred to in history remain as do the purposes of doing harm or gaining power. In movies like The Craft the female coven astonishes even themselves while dabbling in witchcraft, those outside warn the characters that they are practicing dark magic and upsetting the balance of good and evil, but the witches in a quest for power, wealth and popularity continue on in very much a similar pattern as accused witches would have been charged with in the middle ages. These women are moving outside their gender and class roles, they act together to upset the balance and they cause harm to men in charming them out of their natural senses. In Four Rooms a comedy containing several different stories the opening story begins with a witch coven. The women gather in a hotel suite to awaken their goddess. The characters including one played by Madonna, depict in several ways their sexual influence and charm over men. During the ceremony, in which one of the women adds male semen to the mix, they attract a teenage girl to join them. The story includes pagan worship, sexual control over men, females conspiring together to change gender roles, the extraction of male semen to cast spells and the “corruption” of youth.

I tend to bring it all back to modernity a bit too much.

givin away my stuff anybody need anything? (possiby to be returned to me late summer, or early next school year)
