Courtney

(male) Psychotic, bipolar, narcissistic, all around douche bag. Loves to domineer conversations. Pro drummer. (so he thinks). Short tempered, foul-mouth, but quick to come crying back in a stream of tears begging for God's forgiveness. Hopes to one day have a pack of wolf pups running around his home. Brain washes women and controls their every move. Beware of the Courtney, he'll be looking for his next victim pretty soon when "she" leaves him. If she can.

Run everyone! the Courtney is coming!!! AH!!!!

Courtly Love

Courtly love started in the time of King Arthur. His wife fell in love with a friend of his, the lovers met in secret. Most courtly lovers are also married or have other engagements which is the reason they must keep their love in secret. Another example is Romeo and Juliet. He appeared at her window in secret and spoke of the love he felt for her. Neither he or she cared of the other's last name and the duties that came with the names. Married noblewomen would give tockens, such as a jewel, to their lover and they would keep it while trying to proove his love.

Romeo stumbled apon Juliet's window and professed his love to her, even though she was a Capulet. His courtly love was greater than her name and her family.

Supreme Court

A court of old men who believe that they are allowed to control other peoples bodies because they all lived through WWI. These ancient freaks may not look like much, but be careful not to upset them they might just take your rights away just cause they can. And be careful not to kill a bug near them, it’s murder, because they are, in fact, cells.

Woman: I need to get an abortion please, I was SAed
Doctor: yeah ummmm nah, we can’t do that, if you want to you can go to jail for 15 years for it!
Woman: but my abuser will only be in prison for 5, how is that fair
Doctor: because you’ll be killing a non-breathing and non-functioning (on its own) clump of cells… duh
Woman: *Flabbergasted* but…

Doctor: do I need to call the police

Supreme Court: if you’re old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. You may be 16 but that sucks we guess but your fault for wearing that skirt.
