I think that I got it right.

x_cloudDoc Samson said that I should use this space to talk about my feelings of recent events and get feedback from people about what THEY think about those recent events so I can better understand social norms, thus making me more confident. And, some other stuff. I forget.
So, there was a fire and it was scary. But I got to help out and that felt good. There was a little baby horse that was hurt and I felt really bad for it. I hope it is okay.
It was fun going out clubbing! Paige was being all silly about what she was wearing before we left. Amanda was being all silly about me having to wear leather before we left. I borrowed stuff and got to be dressed up. It was fun. I guess I really never thought about how clothes are like an artform/communication-thing before. I don't know how to express that thought.
I went to the meeting and joined Red X! I will get to learn all sorts of things about helping people. I'm very excited about this, because I think that I want to help people as a job. Maybe?
I also got to go out to the movies with everyone! It was great. And I met Bobby and we had ice cream and I absolutely ADORE ice cream. It was really cool, like Bobby.
Today was something called Easter, and there was also something called Passover before. One is about eating chocolate and the other is about not eating bread? I think there was stuff in my history book about them. They are like Christmas and the lighting-candles-holiday-that-I-can't-spell, right? I remember those from the institution, because everyone was sad. But Easter and Passover seem to be more happy, so that is good. Plus, my roomies gave me a chocolate egg with a cream filling!

Remind me that putting all your fun stuff into one weekend makes for one very sleepy witch come Monday.
Anyway, let's help with your Samson-homework. *grins*
1) I've been in touch with Red, one of the grooms at the farm, and he told me all the horses we brought in that night are doing good. And that includes your little friend.
2) Clubbing is about going out and being seen and having a good time. The leather was mostly a joke that's gotten seriously huge, and I sure as hell ain't going to complain since both my roomies look bloody hot in leather. *winks* And you're right about it being a form of communication. What we wear and how we look is a way we tell other people stuff. I'll have to sit you down and explain the piercings one day.
3) Red X is... a start. I ain't entirely convinced we can change people's attitudes, but we're doing something constructive, and doing things is right by me. I don't trust the speech-making exactly. Words is easy, except when they're for homework.
4) Glad you had fun at the movies with us. I definitely had a good time. And yeah, it was a chance to talk to a couple of people I don't usually as well, tho' it was probably just as well Alex and I didn't meet _before_ I went back to England. Sometimes there's such a thing as too much angst. *grins at Alex*
5) Easter... Other people have covered the rest of it, but I can help you with the egg and bunny part. 'S from ancient pagan fertility rituals, the beginning of Spring, all that stuff. Eggs symbolise fertility, and rabbits the going out and having sex like... rabbits. *grins* Once Christianity got big in Europe, the pagan festivals were forbidden, and the feast days used for significant Christian events, like Christmas being the old Midwinter Festival. Easter's a bit more complicated, what with Passover being involved and all, but the tradition of giving chocolate comes from the pagan part.
