Pictures

Here is me as my NERO character Amyri:


Here is Bruce as his character Liam:


I look awkward because Joe Ragsdale (the photographer) yelled "BE SEXY!" just before he snapped the picture. I can't be sexy on command if no one is around I want to be sexy for! I mean, Bruce wasn't in the room!

I found this in my notebook

I thought it highly apropos, given that in Practicum, we read and discussed an article in the NEA magazine about talking about religion in secular classrooms. I dropped my notebook on my desk and this page opened. I don't remember writing it, but it's in my handwriting and the ink is sparkley... it's mine.

Aphrodite, give me beauty and freedom.
Apollo, give me harmony and clarity.
Ares, give me courage and power.
Artemis, give me vision and light.
Athena, give me wisdom and strategy.
Demeter, give me growth and renewal.
Eros, give me love and magic.
Hades, give me intuition and objectivity.
Hephaistos, give me skill and creativity.
Hera, give me nurturing and commitment.
Hermes, give me swiftness and connection.
Hestia, give me safety and identity.
Poseidon, give me loyalty and feeling.
Zeus, give me strength and will!
And Dionysus, to whom my art is dedicated,
Dionysus, give me inspiration and passion!
Now all the gods fill me with fire.
Drive me to destiny and wonder.
Help me go beyond the real and into ecstasy.
Help me find the god in me.
Let me understand.
Let me act.


As an aside, the Rob that Bruce and I have a problem with is NOT the creator of Blue Crash Kit, but this guy. Robb Hamm rocks quite hard, as do his lovely girlfriends Shan and Cat.
