My Archetypes

Earth Mother
      My Aunt Ruth is definitely my Earth Mother.  She probably has the soft heart of the three sisters.  I don't see her much but when I do she is always asking about what's new in my life and how she can help.

Brother
      Jarrett is one of my three step-brothers on my mom's side and is the oldest at 24.  He's the one I see the most often and am closest with.  I can tell him anything and he just listens.  We have our fights every now and then, but then we get over it :).  And yes... I am slightly protective.  I can pick and beat on him all I want but when it comes to him having a girlfriend I don't like, I make sure she treats him right.

Father
     Brian, my step-dad, is the closest thing I've ever really had to a real dad.  I know my real one but don't really get along with him.  Brian is the one will be "cleaning the gun" when I bring home a boyfriend :).  He supports me with my choices and sports.

Trickster
      Geometry.  One word that has to do with visual learning, something I DON'T possess.  Even though I'm not a visual learner, I still have to take this class.  You may ask why this is my trickster and it's because there are things I finally start to understand, but as soon as I get it, I realize it had lead up to something that just confuses me.

Anti-hero
      My anti-hero, Life itself.  You may ask why and tell me that it shouldn't be the villain.  Well, in reply I will say, you think Life doesn't give you obstacles?  Sometimes it doesn't try to make you fail?  Think again my friend.  Life is throwing all of this at you to see what you are made of, to see that the weak overcome and learn who they are.  You're the hero of your own story, right?  Well prove it!  By beating Life at it's own game and making the best of it, your going to become strong and stand tall!

My Scary Story

     There was a girl named Katie, she lived in New York City and was a freshman in high school.  Katie had no friends, alcoholic parents, and no one else there for her in her life. 
      Finally one last day of being picked on, being made fun of for her hand-me-down clothes, not having much of a real family, and for just being stupid, she decided to hang herself in her closet.  About an hour later, her mom walks in and sees her.  Her mom called the cops, but when they got there, nothing was found.  But she left a note.... a note saying "This is because of you.  The reason I'm dead is because of you, and you know who you are...."
     Everyone in the school carried on each day as if nothing had ever happened.  No one noticed she was gone, but when they heard about her death, they also heard about the note she left.  The two most popular freshman girls, the ones who turned everyone against Katie, Alex and Laura, realized it was about them.  But they didn't care.
     Later that night, the two girls stayed at Laura's house and were just about to fall asleep when they heard knocking on the closet door.  The two girls slowly crept to the door and opened it.  There they saw Katie standing there with the rope still around her neck, and two more, one for Laura and one for Alex.  While spending all of their energy struggling to get away, they finally gave up.  And there they hung, just as Katie did the day she died.
