One bloody footprint on the roadside... It's so tragic. You know, I think it's hard to understand how some people can watch movies where the blood flows or squirts all over the place and enjoy it, especially when you see how sad reality can be. I'm not to judge anyone, it's just my personal point of view.

You followed Bowdrill's metaphoric first smeller story? The way I understood it, that story is exactly about what life is all about:

Grow and sharpen your senses [the deer got a new sense for protection from hunters; the ability to smell], realize danger, what it looks like, when and where it occurs or may occur. Get aware, be aware, take care and you won't fall prey as easily.

And I don't think it's a funny coincident people mentioned Little Red Ridinghood after the First Smeller story was ended. Might as well have been Little Blue Ridinghood.

In my homecountry we have different kinds of senior highschools. One of them in my hometown is for people who want to specialize in technique and science. It is known for it's "custom"/"tradition" to harrass the 16 or 17-year-old newcomers for one semester, beginning each autumn. One of my best friends back then entered this school. She told me what the older students - young men and women - do to the younger ones. Sometimes it's just fun, but sometimes things go too far.

One guy I didn't know personally, but knew was an alright person, also entered that school. My friend told me he was captured by five older female youngsters alien to him who locked themselves up in a room with him and stripped him by force. You don't have to be gay to dislike such treatment. The guy was hurt by this incident. We were sad for him and this case led to that the school directors had to set up rules and watch strictly how the students handle their "tradition".

I'm sure you can take care of yourself, Oneida, so please don't be offended when I say be ware of 'aunties' (and 'uncles') and wish life holds a good partner for you, someone who doesn't go for buttocks only.
