positively somewhere

Funny how I always manage to turn any emotion into anger within seconds of brooding over something that happened. Then I laugh it off.

Then happily this song pops along on my winamp, which fits perfectly, almost...

Alicia's Attic I am I feel

He said: "Angel put that purple skirt on, y'know it makes me hot"
He said: "Come on, Come on, get on, get up, look like
You're enjoying my company",
Oh and he said: "You can't change the world,
yr'another one of my fools
You were born to have my baby now.
Don't cry my precious one, coz
I ain't got no sympathy for you"
And I am, I feel, like
I wanna bite his head off
Yeah that'd be fun
Coz I sure got an appetite
I click my heels together three times
They sparked a little, but nothing happened
And the big bad wolf's still in my bed

I am, I feel
(I sometimes think that you forget) that
I am, I feel
I got to get away from here
I am, I feel
This girl's a person y'know
I am, I feel

Oh he said: "Angel your halo ain't fitted that good for a little while now
You ain't got that certain glow that I get a kick out of"
(Like it bothered me)
I'm taking it on the chin, with a grin
But my feet are itchin' and itchin',
He says: "Don't cry my precious one
Coz I ain't got no sympathy for you"

And I am, I feel, like
I wanna smash his face in
Yeah! That'd be fun
Coz I sure got a fist for a fight

I click my heels together three times
They sparked a little, but nothing happened
And the big bad wolf's still in my bed

And I am, I feel
(I sometimes think that you forget) that
I am, I feel
I got to get away from here
I am, I feel
And this girl's a person y'know
I am, I feel

Well it's had to get through it when you're knockin' on wood
And I got to thinkin' I was worth more than he put on my boots
I got a soul if you get down to the roots

I am, I feel
(I sometimes think that you forget) that
I am, I feel
I got to get away from here
I am, I feel
And this girl's a person y'know
I am, I feel

I am, and I feel
I am, and I feel
I am, I feel
This girl's a person y'know
I am, I feel
I am, I feel

(I sometimes think that you forget) that
I am, and I feel
I got to get away from here
I am, I feel
And this girl's a person y'know...

What is Theology

Firmly held beliefs determine the way people see the world, the way they make meaning of their lives and the way they live those lives.

Theology is the study of such beliefs and meaning-making within one of the world’s major religions‑-Christianity. It studies the ancient foundational texts of Christianity, the beliefs and practices that developed through the centuries of its influence not only in Europe but across the world, and the way its story and its beliefs shape contemporary spiritualities and lives. It explores questions of life and death, of belief and doubt, of hope and despair in a world that faces complex human and religious questions.

To begin to explore Christianity’s understanding of God and God’s relationship with humankind and the universe within the School is to undertake a journey. This journey provides guidance in the examination of historical and contemporary spiritualities and theologies and their understandings of God, the human person, relationships, suffering, and justice. You will learn ways of reading and interpreting texts and traditions and will explore their influence on Western art, film, literature, philosophy and society. You may also develop skills in responding to a range of human contexts such as grief, illness, suffering and celebration if this is an area of theology which you choose to develop.

This journey of theology covers contested ground in today’s world. Divergent positions, premises and methodologies will appear. Traditional assumptions will be weighted against the role of context and culture. All this invites you to participate in the development of a rich and vigorous theological discourse.
