raggedyanne,
Mayhaps that, and the whole child of a deity thing, would explain how he was able to withstand such a brutal beating from the Romans. I now have quite an interesting mental picture of the relationship between Magdalene and Jesus. The fact that her first name was the same as his mother just makes it more entertaining.
Whip me, beat me, call me names,
Matt

Hmm, Sigmund Frued would have had a field day with this one.

raggedyanne,
Well, I could say "carburetor" to Freud and he would find some way to explain that I secretly want to horizontal Mambo with my mother.

Maybe Freud himself had strange fantasies of his mother and was taking out this frustration on his clients?

raggedyanne,
That is a distinct possibility. I wonder if he would get excited about the strange sexual confessions he would pry from his clients.
Still preferring Swing,
Matt

Msr.iaidoka,
That's a disturbing though. I have wondered why people become psyciatrists(sp) or sex doctors. Reason: they're nosey and or pervs. I think they might have the most fun jobs on the planet. ;P

raggedyanne,
My psychology professor at my undergraduate institution was a Freudian psychologist. She was as perverted as anyone could be, plus she was hilarious.
My hips are not built for Latin,

msr.iaidoka,
I love perverted people! That could be because I'm sort of perverted; but it's mostly because they're fun to listen to. My shrink is pretty perverted also. Must come with the job.
That's what my boyfriend said, but now he likes rumba more than swing,
Annie

Haunted Houses of California by Antionette May.
My mother bought it for me while on her last vacation to northern Cali. Not that great of a book, but I can't just drop a book no matter how much I dislike it. I feel compelled to finish it off.

Currently over half-way through reading Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer, quite an addictive book.

"the Inferno" - Dante Alighieri
I wanna start up a theme park based on the inferno. With rides and games and eternal punishments and lines yay!
EDIT FOR GOTHNESS:
Dark, sociopolitical, and certainly gothic in its abundance of melodrama  . And it kind of gives me the impression god is a dick.

I was reading Naked Empire by Terry Goodkind. But I seem to have misplaced it, so I started reading the Harry Potter series. Started The Sorceror's Stone earlier today. And then finished it.

Presently I'm reading "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. It's a very interesting book, even if I have read it about a million times. My classmates, however, seem to think otherwise. Ah well, I suppose victorian literature isn't for everybody.
