I like bells and all, but can we please get another way to communicate because I don’t like hearing them throughout the whole day and not knowing what they are for. I do like getting mail from the horseback riders though.
What is up with everybody thinking that the devil can like infect you when you sneeze? Is he some kind of fly? I don’t think there is anything to worry about when you sneeze, but I do think it is kind to say ‘god bless you’.
Why do we all think that the Earth is the center of the universe, when I feel like the world is spinning with all of the different constellations and planets? And I think there has to be something going on with all the changes the world goes through every year when the seasons change. I don’t think that the Earth is the center of the universe.
Why do we think that the plague could be spread by vampires, granted they could be, but still. What if the plague was just caused by germs or viruses being passed from person to person? Even farther from that, what’s up with the garlic? Hardly anyone I know likes garlic.
I like running water and all but I don’t think that it is that big of a deal. Also, why would you just spit into a fire for luck? Just put it out and get over it.
Why are guys so old when they finally marry, compared to the girls that is. Why don’t they just marry closer to their age so the don’t have to worry about any big differences? Also, who says that we can’t marry any person that we would like to marry and like to be around? So do we really have to get thrown into a stupid marriage where you don’t even like the other person?

I think it is time to stop using alchemy to get products. I have not seen the creation of the philosopher’s stone and there is obviously no elixir of life because people are still dying of plague. Why do we need to make somewhat useless materials from simple metals that could have better uses than the metals that are made. Just to make it worse, alchemy is just confusing.
I think that honestly every single person that dies should have a coffin and a gravestone, no matter what. To make matters worse those sin eaters are very creepy and weird. What’s up with all the stuff I have to wear at funerals though, I realize it is to remember the dead but it just makes me feel dead. I do like how they give alms to the poor and hold feasts for everyone. That is nice.
What’s up with all the bad luck out there and there seems like there is so little good that there is nothing you can do but get bad luck. If you see an eclipse, see a black cat, have a peacock feather, walk under a ladder, or spill salt or pepper, get ready. Also, if you set your shoes on the table, get ready to die.
I am glad this Martin Luther guy came around. I kind of like the view of the protestants. I hope their ways stay around and I hope those Catholic people can just cool themselves. I would like to applaud Queen Elizabeth the first on her efforts to stop the fighting. Thank You.
