This past weekend I’ve been playing catch up. Catch up with laundry, catch up with making lunches. I downloaded a few books and my pod-casts, so I am almost ready for the week

People are always telling me that the whole 'teen slasher' movies/stories are new, but they are not. The whole basement of blood thing... and it makes you wonder how much this happend, since every socitiy had a story like that. I do know the story "the oxford scholer" turned out to be true and in court records. Both him killing hte girl and the killing of him on the way to being hanged. The subsiquent 'town and gown' war was already known.
Beleve it or not (with everything I watch and read) I really don't handle human on human violence well. Even something like the 90's "I know what you did last summer" scared me half to death.
I had to do a little more laundry last night - but now I'm all set for the weekend!
Oh totaly. And stories like that were for all ages, childrens stories didn't get sanitised until the 1880's or 90's. But then again there was a lot of cultural change then - woman were loseing status through most of the Victorian era (ironicly) and children were becoming something to be protected. And now we are children well into our 20's. Mind you vitorian irish american women didn't marry until they were 30 (you still see a remnanat of that in Boston, where a woman will often have a child and live with a man starting at like 17 or 18, but they don't get married until 30. Marriage is still seen as a burden a 'penalty' there
