D&D with a little Freud

Just thought I'd post a little thing saying howdy! We need to be more active on this bloggity-blog-blog.

School is so far good. I'm sort of reading my Death and Dying text book. Interesting chapter on understanding death - Erikson and Piaget's theories are discussed. Here's a funny quote of Freud's:

"I was astonish to hear a highly intelligent boy of ten remark after the sudden death of his father: "I know father's dead, but what I can't understand is why he doesn't come home to supper."
(Interpretation of Dreams)

Thought you'd all enjoy that! Write soon and hopefully will have some pictures to post!
