"Remember, remember, the Fifth of November, the Gunpowder Treason and Plot. I know of no reason why the Gunpowder Treason should ever be forgot... But what of the man? I know his name was Guy Fawkes and I know, in 1605, he attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. But who was he really? What was he like? We are told to remember the idea, not the man, because a man can fail. He can be caught, he can be killed and forgotten, but 400 years later, an idea can still change the world. I've witnessed first hand the power of ideas, I've seen people kill in the name of them, and die defending them... but you cannot kiss an idea, cannot touch it, or hold it... ideas do not bleed, they do not feel pain, they do not love... And it is not an idea that I miss, it is a man... A man that made me remember the Fifth of November. A man that I will never forget."

Happy Guy Fawkes Day, I am getting ready cause the guys and I are going out tonight. I'm wearing my red dress with a black belt, black tights and ballet flats. Also I am sporting my suit jacket. First of all though I am making them dinner. Chicken Fajitas and Luke is bringing the wine. Aaron bought sparklers so we will have a little fun with some fireworks. After that we are probably going out to The Parrot. I have four sets of batteries plus the ones in my camera so hopefully that will be enough.
Tomorrow is what frustrates me... I did not realize we had a field trip until yesterday... I mean it is to Windsor Castle and yea I kind of want to see it, but I kind of also want to do my work... and actually be able to relax next week cause even though I have less work this semester than I would normally have in a semester it has not made me any less stressed. So I am debating as to whether I really want to lose a day going to Windsor Castle... my deciding factor if I feel alright in the morning I will go, if not I will not. We shall see.
I have to accomplish 2 essays and some journal entries this weekend. The Health Care debate paper and the Magna Carta paper. I also want to revise my last 500 word paper and get that out of the way entirely. My journal for American Postmodernism is coming a long nicely... I'm really enjoying the creativeness of it... So I hope they appreciate it as much as I do. :)
I also am going to cut my hair while I'm over here, which should be surprising and interesting. :)
Anyway I should probably become productive or finish getting ready. More to write later. :)
