I think slash and deviantart are the only things keeping me alive right now.
Good Lord, I need help...

If people think about what happens when they cut someone off in traffic. If that person goes home and takes their anger out on their kids.
I just wonder about that sometimes.

Are there any movies that you absolutely loved when you were younger that you've watched again and found awful or ridiculous?

Pokemon: The First Movie. I watch it for nostalgia most of the time, but a lot of it is one big wallbanger.

I must say, however, that the scene where Pikachu is trying to shock Ash back to life makes me sob like a little kid every time.

My worst experience came from middle school. While I have never had a good year in school, seventh grade took the cake.

I was reading in class. Just reading. Our tables were round, so I had my back facing the class. Suddenly there was this horrible smell in the air and someone hit me on the back, hard. Then there was a lot of smoke and I had an asthma attack.
Turns out someone had lit my ponytail on fire, and the hit was a classmate putting it out. He caught it quickly, so I didn't get hurt and only about an inch was singed.
Still, I never felt more hated or more violated than that day.

Writer's Block: Twilight becomes you

: gaelic_grl; November 22nd, 2009

Have you seen New Moon? If so, how do you think it compared to the book? Was it better or worse than Twilight? Please, no spoilers!

I have not, and I do not plan to.
Partly because the acting in the first movie was atrocious, and mostly because Twilight sets a horrible example for teenaged girls and pretty much shits all over the vampire genre.

Writer's Block: Investigations of a Female Nature

: gaelic_grl; July 20th, 2009

Who is your favorite lady detective from movies, books, or TV?

View 512 Answers

Karrin Murphy from The Dresden Files. Murphy is one kick ass cop who can take down a demon with a chainsaw. A chainsaw, people. She's an officer of the law, but she's learning how to put some of that aside to help her friend Harry Dresden. She can take down uber-ghouls with mobsters and her skanky little sister with insults.
Did I mention she's five-foot nothing with blond hair and a cute face? Image THAT cutting up a demon.
Yeah, Murphy for the win. Definitely.

Empty parking garages, roadside motels, dark caves, dank basements, overgrown forests—what kind of setting makes you feel nervous?

Pretty much any dark place. Especially basements.
When I was younger I had terrible nightmares every night about being attacked in my basement.
