Did you ever feel the pain? In the morning rain...as it soaks in to the bone?

I really feel bad for Lisa and Taryn (my neighbors). I listen to Oasis almost constantly when Kat's not here and, hey, the walls are paper thin. Lisa's a science major of some sort (bio or biochemistry, I'm not sure) and I don't ever want to be the object of her wrath. She's very nice, but I can definitely see her going crazy, charging me down with some hand made Anthrax screaming "LIVE FOREVER?!?!? NO! Don't think so! You're going to die, NOW, and then the fire in your heart really will be out!!!"

Yeah.

So, Happy November all! I hope you all went trick or treating, or at the very least drank yourself into an oblivion. I did both this year, good times. I'll post pics sometime this week. But I do have enough candy to get me through finals now. Yay for that.

That aside, I think I've come up with an idea for a combined justice and anthropology thesis, should I decide to do a second major in Anthropology. After my test today, we were watching original footage videos from the liberation of the concentration camps. Words can't describe these images, so I'm not even going to try. But afterwards, we were discussing civic denial and I got to thinking about Inspector Kline's lecture. It was supposed to be on Broken Windows Theory but he ended up talking more about Stockholm Syndrome, mostly because it involves the most glamorous aspects of policing, as opposed to the nitty gritty. This led my thoughts off into "Hmm...I wonder if there were any instances of Stockholm Syndrome in the survivors of the Holocaust...I bet there were in the indirect authority structures (block leaders, runners, snitches, etc)..." A quick conversation with Dr. Schafft confirmed my theory, citing a reference where at least 2 of the block leaders indicated signs of Stockholm Syndrome (though I'm not sure it was officially titled that at the time...hell, I'm not even sure if it was officially identified as such during the liberation). So, I'm thinking that I'd really like to do a massive, full scale investigation into Stockholm as a possible means for minor civic denial, and also just an investigation of those who exhibited the signs of it.

Thoughts?
