Sociology Courses | February 13, 2006

Sociology of Violence

"Hello, class. Welcome, and please turn in your essays from last class on your reactions to playing the games provided to you."

Grissom then lectures briefly on The St. Valentine Day's Massacre and then dismisses class.

"On your way out, please take this reading, Chapter Nine of Flash Point: The American Mass Murderer by Michael D. Kelleher, and complete it by Wednesday."

~~What, it's perfectly appropriate in the spirit of the holiday!~~

Sociology of the Paranormal

After greeting the class, Grissom gives a lecture and smiles, sitting half on his desk.

"So, easy discussion today. Do you believe in miracles?"

"Also, easy homework. I want you to do your own research into the phenomena, and see if anything changes your mind."

~~First person to bust out into a tacky song gets extra-credit liek woah.~~

~~*sings Hot Chocolate's 'I Believe in Miracles*~~

~~/gives you extra extra-credit for the associated hilarious mental image from The Full Monty~~

*glees* Also they filmed that just down the road from where I'm sitting right this moment!

Jake is here, and he doesn't believe in miracles, nope.

Angela is glowingly happy today, is therefore listening with only half an ear, and would probably say she believed in fairies ~~not that kind~~ if Grissom asked, so she nods.

Marty seems to spending most of class giving schmoopy looks at Angela.

Grissom notices, and thinks it is about damn time, frankly. He does not awww, though, because he doesn't awww as a general rule.

Lana signs in. She's not sure if she believes in miracles or not, but she's certainly open to the possibility.

Walter signs in ~~sans song~~. He's not sure that he believes in miracles, but he's not ready to rule anything out these days.

Shep signs in. He isn't sure about the whole miracles thing. Miracles as in divinely contrived good luck? Nah, he didn't have any great faith in a higher being that was interested in controlling the day to day activities of a single individule.

He did believe in cosmic good luck and good timing. He knew that that sort of thing had saved his bacon more than once on Atlantis.

Lana slips him a note.

Hey... you okay with this whole wedding-y thing tomorrow? And can I talk you into taking me to the Valentine's Dance on Friday? :)

There's a Valentine's dance on Friday?

He's really not playing dumb this time.

Lana rolls her eyes, then smiles at him.

Yep. Of course, the last dance we went to didn't go so smoothly, so if you want to give it a miss and maybe do something else, that's fine too.

Shep's having another one of those ~~days~~ ~~months~~ lives where the world is going by too fast for him to keep up.

Talk to me again on Thursday? Friday is too far away for me to make plans right now.

He's very, very glad he arranged for the actual Valentine's Day stuff several weeks ago so he doesn't have to think about it at this point.

Bel signs in.

~~All I need is a miracle, all I neeeeeeeeeed is youuuuuuuuuuu.~~

Lana smiles at Bel.

Piper signs in. She's not sure she believes in miracles, but, after all she has seen in Fandom, she believes they are certainly possible.

Lyta signs in. She believes in miracles... for people other than herself. Then again, she thinks, isn't the fact she's here a miracle in itself? She doesn't voice this last outloud. ~~It's impossible to be an intergalactic gal of mystery if one goes blabbing all one's secrets, after all.~~

Paige is here ~~now with 50% less subtext~~

"I think miracles happen yeah, I mean look at this place, it kinda challenges the way you think about things like that doesn't it?"

Jaye's here and she knows nothing about miracles none whatsoever no one anything really.

Marty signs in. Today he believes in miracles. All kids of miracles.

In fact it would be a miracle if he lost the grin on his face.

Stark signs in and considers the question.

"Yes. Of course I do. Maybe not before, no reason to before, but now? Yes."

Cordelia signs in, looking mildly uncomfortable from her previous classes that day.

"Miracles? Nah, I don't think so. It's a nice thought, but I think it's just something people really wished was possible. Maybe, though. I guess I don't really know." Very succint, Cordy.

"I am participating in class. Some would define that as a miracle." ~~Lj eating comments? Not so much.~~
