What are “weird” sexual practices you know? Why consider them as “weird”? I consider those sexual practices that involve food as somewhat weird. For example, that sexual practice called feederism where one’s gain of body fat accompanies sexual gratification and arousal. In general, most people want to have a sexy body to give arousal to their partners but these people gain theirs in the opposite way. I just don’t get the point why so I consider them as weird. In heath aspects, this can be already considered as a disorder. 2. Does society accept these practices? Yes, society accepts them. Americans tolerate almost all sexual practices.

...often attributed to either his own ambitions run amok or the influence of his wife's Machiavellian manipulations. The husband and wife work in tandem to bring about the prophecies of the Weird Sisters, and it is Macbeth's hand that does the greater evil deed against Duncan and the only evil against Banqo and MacDuff's family members; in essence the rise of the Macbeths to power is one of shared responsibility. Their downfall is played out on the same road as they travel in opposite directions to and from being responsible for their own fate. The belief in the occult is an element of the play that drives its tragedy; an element that may be lost on modern audiences looking to find motivation for Macbeth's murderous deeds. The belief in prophecy is particularly important in gaining a foothold on understanding the downfall of Macbeth and his Lady. When Macbeth first comes upon the Weird Sister and they roll out the prophecies for both Macbeth and Banquo, and by extension Duncan and his family, more is going on than just a foretelling of the future. The prophecies instill in Macbeth the realization of his dreams, of course, but they also portend that the darkest fears of Macbeth will be realized alongside his dreams. Without Macbeth's unquestioned belief in the occult and acceptance that the Weird Sisters have the power of prophecy, there would be neither a rise nor a fall. If the rise of Macbeth to king can be said to be a combination of belief in the Sisters and the manipulation...

...with you, but they can’t walk in your shoes. It is best to make sure the path you decide to walk is based on your own intuition and desires, and don’t be scared to walk alone paving your own path knowing it’s the right thing to do. There will be judgment upon you at some point because judgment is unavoidable, but one thing you can avoid is letting their understatements affect you negatively. You shouldn’t settle for less, and not be your true self because of your weirdness, your uniqueness, and just by being who you are. People may say it is better to not be yourself because of two reasons: You are who you decide to be, and act like everyone else. In other words, base your life on the labels you have accumulated over the years. If you hang out with the same friends all your life, then you are already known to act like them; therefore, it is very easy to have a stereotypical title. For example, if you hang out with a group of people who party a lot, then you will be labeled as one of them. They use the excuse, “I can’t change.” The best thing to learn is to be who you decide to be. Where’s your will to be weird? Truth is, it’s not weird to be weird. Everybody is weird in some way. You must express your individuality, and not be embarrassed of it. If you’re lucky enough to have something that...

...a specific gender. Seeing as though fifty percent of the world is composed of women, a play with all male roles seems a bit outdated. Twelve Angry Men has had it’s name altered to Twelve Angry Jurors in order to add women roles to the jury and even the main character. Gender is a big factor in playwriting. Women enjoy plays as much as men do and diversifying roles is a good way to bring more women into the theater thus increasing profit. Profit is not the only reason for reaching out to specific genders. The Weird Sisters Women’s Theater Collective is based in Austin, Texas and is dedicated to promoting women in Theater and other arts. They promote feminist idealealeals and produce all-women plays in an effort to showcase female talent in both female and male roles. They also have productions that are focused on education. Educating other people in the trials and tribulations of women and condemning misogyny are two popular subject matters in Weird Sister plays. Weird Sister plays, being a cast comprised only of women...

...Of course that's not weird! She's a woman, she's attractive, and she can turn you on. But this guy believed that he was weird for finding her attractive. That's just a small example. You may that you have weird sexual preferences, weird preferences when it comes to what you find attractive, and you may just believe that you are weird altogether. The truth is that we are all just different and prefer different things. The belief that you are weird is going to hold you back from dating success because you will think there is something wrong with you, and when you think there's something wrong, women will think there's something wrong too. 5. You Believe in Stereotypes Stereotypes are beliefs that don't accurately reflect reality. A common stereotype is that a conventionally unattractive woman is not worth your time. Another is the belief that are only good for sex. These beliefs are going to impede your chances with women that you may actually be perfect with, and cause you...

...young, and waking up to the smell of pancakes and bacon. I looked forward to breakfast with my Gram, we would sit at the table, eat and listen to her gospel music. I may not have been fond of her music, I was a young teen after all, but that time with her on those mornings meant the world to me. The difference in music we had was only skin-deep That reminds me of one small difference between us: she was an amazing cook, while I still have trouble boiling noodles. Salmon cakes, pasta, and chocolate peanut butter no bake cookies were a few of my favorites. Everything she made was all so good. You could walk into her house and pass out from the smells alone. It makes me hungry just thinking about it. As we both grew older, we grew even closer. When my mom and I would fight, which happened many times, she always took my side, even when I was clearly in the wrong. She defended and protected me. I could count on my gram to listen to me, support me in all my decisions. She would encourage me to do my best at everything I did and taught me to put my whole heart into it. There was a day where I felt a “weird feeling” like something bad happened, Hernandez Page 2 and I didn’t understand why I was having this feeling, so I called my gram, only to have...
