Apparently the Australian Communist Party is back, and plans to contest the next federal election. They are an umbrella of communist groups calling themselves the 'Communist Alliance.'
Are they serious?
Do they plan to make more sense than the Socialist Alliance currently does? Do they not realise communism stopped being cool at least thirty years ago? That even cuba is starting to cautiously step towards...

I got a twitter account so that I could see what it's all about. Because the website basically told me nothing prior to signing in. Turns out that although most people are using it to notify their friends that they just successfully took a dump, or fell over, or had a thought about a potato, there are other uses. I set mine up to basically...

I've been a bit slack updating this blog, so here are a few blogs in rapidfire succession, lifted from my livejournal 
Word on the street is that native american languages conceptualise the world spectacularly differently to Indo-European languages like english or Latin. Where we conceptualise everything as objects in space, and actions as forces acting on those objects, american languages conceptualise everything as processes or...

As usual, I'm not posting very often. But it occurred to me that if my interaction with the internet is purely a case of me absorbing information and never contributing, then karma will bite me.
My main use of the internet lately has been http://en.wiktionary.org. I'm attempting to teach myself latin and irish at the moment, as well as keeping on top of my greek....

Brace yourselves, this is going to be longwinded.
As I said previously, last weekend I went to my cousin's wedding. The wedding itself was very nice. It was a casual, secular affair on a clifftop overlooking the ocean. The groom was wearing board shorts and a white shirt and looked as nice as I've ever seen him. His bride was wearing a very pretty white...

Just out of curiosity, if you don't believe in it, then why is it dangerous to sing?
Hey, you're the first openly Wiccan person I've seen on here.

Oh, those words don't sound great! I see what you mean.
When I was about mid teens I read a lot of books on other religions, (I was brought up going to church) especially pagan ones. I liked the idea of using your willpower to bring about change, and identified with the connections to earth and nature. I started keeping a book and noting stuff down and noting the festivals. But I didn't know anyone else who did it, and the people on the internet mainly turned out to be just young girls wanting love potions and bragging about how magickal they were, so I never got very far with it, though I find it interesting.

My pleasure!

I think if you send a message to HQ they can fix this account up to your old one.
Now I haven't been on here in a while! I let my membership lapse and I lost my old account, so I've had to start again and track down people all over again.
So I'm going to try and start again...
Holidays are on, after a very successful semester. I got 84% in Greek 1B and I would have made it into High Distinction territory...
