You can read into the following what you will. I am not making any conclusions.

I just thought it was interesting/funny.

There are maybe 20-25 people in my Anthro class. It's about even, boys and girls. Maybe more girls than boys. Whatever.

Today Professor Kusserow asked how many of us wanted to get married. I raised my hand, looked around, (like all the other girls were, cause that's what we do) and not one boy in that class had his hand raised. There was one or maybe two girls without raised hands. Interesting, yes?

The conclusions I am not drawing are that maybe boys really don't want to get married, or maybe they just don't want to admit that they do. I don't know. But I was intrigued.

Also was amused by this phrase: fierce mingling. If it's fierce, then is it really mingling? There's a dilemma* for the ages.

There are few things more lovely when it is raining and about 40 degrees out than taking your sweatshirt directly out of the dryer and putting in straight on your body.

*snuggles*

Although I could make a case for bonding with the roomie while decorating for Halloween, which was quite nice too.

And also being done with my paper, and not having a lab report to do over the weekend. All this is good.

The universe must love me lately because Zach* called to say he has to work today and can't meet me at the library**, so I CAN GO TO THE DRAMA CLUB MEETING! Yays.

(She was going to throw exploding garlic at Phil. I said exploding anything would probably work.)

EjM7320: well garlic was a slight vampire joke so exploding would work on all life forms
EjM7320: except the grinch
EjM7320: cause he's green
EjM7320: but it will work on the hulk
EjM7320: (i've tested this)
EjM7320: hey can you imagine if the hulk were an egg
EjM7320: the incredible (edible) hulk
beetlegirl3001: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
beetlegirl3001: what the hell goes on in your head?
EjM7320: Sex.
beetlegirl3001: ahh yes
EjM7320: haha, just kidding, i'm not sure either
beetlegirl3001: so cool
beetlegirl3001: im making this into a poem
EjM7320: one of the voices tries to keep the peace, i'm informed on a semi-daily basis
beetlegirl3001: god
EjM7320: your mom's a poem
beetlegirl3001: no she isnt
EjM7320: well, no, but your dad is
beetlegirl3001: ok
EjM7320: SHE'S A BIG RED DOG

I love Erin more and more every time I talk to her.

I found this journal where this person posts little comics about Darth Vader being a father, or a husband, or a sith lord, whatever. They're hysterical. But this one, the latest one, is even more hysterical than the other ones.

If you have never seen Return of the Jedi or The Empire Strikes Back it may not make total sense to you, but if you have, read it and laugh like a loon a-la-Megan.

Of course I also highly recommend reading all the preveious comics, especially if you have issues with the prequels. (Which basically means if you have seen them. Because to see them is to have issues with them. Even though I love Episode III dearly, who dies because they've "lost the will to live"? Give me a break.)

The comics are all done in love and fun, and they make me happy.

In other news, my Anthro teacher took our pictures today while we were holding signs with our names on them under our chins so she can look at them at home and learn all our names. Mugshots anyone?

P.S. If you haven't seen Return of the Jedi, what on earth are you waiting for? That is my personal favorite out of all six movies. If you love me you'll go watch it.

I learned something in Anthropology that has given me insight into Phantom of the Opera.

The phantom, by being deformed, "violates the scene." People who violate the "scene" or norm, are generally ignored by the rest of society, a behavior called "deviance disavowel" where people basically ignore the deviation.

So the phantom, once he escapes, instead of living a life of being disavowed, goes into hiding so he can be in control of how much people acknowlegde his existance. He is in power, not them.

Cool huh?

P.S. I am making up the analysis of the phantom, but not the terms "violating the scene" and "deviance disavowal." Those are real.

I had one class today.

One.

And it was at 1:00.

How cool is that?

It was Anthropology, which is just an awesome subject in general, and the teacher was awesome too. She doesn't believe in midterms or finals. She spent years living in Nepal studying refugees and Buddhists. She has written books. Not a book, several. So cool. And she gives out readings every night, then gives quizzes on them. I can totally do that. That's exactly how Peterson ran his class.

I totally feel this class. It is "not about memorizing names and dates, but about changing your view of the world."

Yay Anthropology!

Lies and falsehoods, Padfoot!

I am attempting to find meaning over here. You are cramping my groove.
