June 4, 2007 (Herald-Sun / Michael Carr-Gregg) -- Mary Ward was an English nun who founded the Loreto Order in 1609 and one can't help wondering what she would have made of the latest internet kill fantasy: Police are investigating comments from a Loreto College student at Ballarat, posted on a site called Vampire Freaks.

I am torn

exquisite as the wings of a butterfly and more

eloquent and poignant then the activists blood, poured out on the streets of his cause

with frightening clarity I see to the core

stop the ride, silence the cries, give me pause

pandemonium has spawned

there is no more nor no less than what we can hold

trapped by our imagination, sold

by our soul to this higher power

the devil is lying in wait

behind the gate

there is no final hour

January 22, 2008 (Mirror.co.uk / Jeremy Armstrong) -- A crazed son who stabbed his parents and then drank his stepfather's blood was locked up in a secure hospital yesterday. Thomas Owen, 28, thought he had to kill Joe and Sheena Foster to prevent the murder of a little girl, a court heard.

dragons fly free
over a blood red sea
unicorns run abundant
on plains of green land
wizards and goblins
there are quite a few
in the land of my mind
anything's true
I make up the worlds
I give them their names
I name all the seas and mountains and plains
I make up the species
like froggins and gloons
I give them the days, the nights, and the moon
with out much a thought
I give them all homes
I make up the stories
I make up their lives
the world is my own
I am the creator
