Slayer


Alright so those who know me know that I am a big horror movie fan. I love watching them but end up terrified of them at the same time, lol. The best is when you watch them in a crowded theater, you know on the first weekend that it comes out (before folks have time to spoil it). It’s packed, dark and everyone is wide-eyed – ok some are probably squinting and/or peering from behind their hands – but everyone is just waiting for SOMETHING to happen. The anticipation, the fear is almost palpable as we wait …for the SLASHER to, well slash someone.

Or better yet – the inevitable scene where the young pretty girl hears a noise in her house – a house that she’s home alone in, BTWs – and she decides to go INVESTIGATE the noise. MAAAANNNN, the audience almost in unison laments the folly of her actions (LOL – who wrote that? LMAO). We are all like "GIRRRLLL, NOOOO!!! Have you never SEEN a horror flick?” Followed shortly by “Yep, she’s dead” Wonder if that’s why the writers put those scenes in? Just because they KNOW how we will react?

Right now, I’m binge-watching HANNIBAL…TV series that is an adaptation that’s supposed to take placed before the name Dr. Hannibal Lecter became synonymous with cannibalistic serial killers. He was actually a psych DR…a psych DR who counseled others while killing people and turning their body parts into plates worthy of 5-star chef! During a commercial break, I started to ponder what diagnosis Dr. Lecter had– no really, that’s all it takes for me to start wondering. So of course, I looked it up.  My search took me to this school’s website about their psych program. Turns out, they have a class that students watch, study and diagnosis serial killers in movies!! Can you imagine? Going to class and watching Michael Myers, Freddie Krueger, Jason Vorhees and of course Dr. Hannibal Lecter, for the purpose of diagnosing them?? They even gave a different spin on ZOMBIES!! 

Hmmm...Don’t think I want to get a degree in psychology but I have to admit, that class would be epic!!!

Work It

I found an old photo of me from many moons ago. I'm talking acid washed jeans, big glasses, big hair - the whole 9 yards. It's just a casual shot - me and a friend chilling on the couch (uh, no I don't plan to post it LOL) - but it got me thinking about yester-year or days of old (sheesh, that sounds kinda knightly)...You know, those days when your biggest worries included "are the quarter pounder combos on sale this week? Is HE going to ask me out? For Prom??" (HE didn't but I went to prom anyway and had a BLAST!) This is also about the time I got my first taste of adulthood - A JOB! A real one! Like actually doing things for someone other than my parents and grandparents in order to maintain my allowance (yes, I was one of those kids). Employee ID, Clock-In/Out, an actual check - shoot couldn't tell me nothing. I was a working WOMAN after all (okay so a working TEEN but still, LOL)  Guess where I worked? No, go ahead I'll wait... Time's u...

You Don't Have To be so mean

Someone asked me the other day " hey, don't you ever get tired of being so happy and positive all the time? How can you be so NICE?" I was thrown! Ok maybe not completely since I've heard a little about this before. "You always have a smile on your face...you're so happy...you're so NICE to EVERYBODY...I really like talking to you...thank you for being so kind...-it's rare" Even though I've heard these comments before, it still surprises me a little. Not that people think I'm nice but that so many people experience the opposite - often enough that they are shocked enough to comment. Makes you, ok me, wonder why are so many people not nice? Just plain old mean? How do they get that way? Can't make me believe that people are born that way...hmm course i have a seen pictures of newborn babies with some pretty mean mugs. Looking like they've been here before and experienced all the atrocities of life ALREADY!  But really - why?  ...

Very Superstitious

Do you think black cats portend bad tidings? Are you triskaidekaphobic (fear of the number 13)? Growing up, I used to hear all sorts of things that were supposedly bad luck or could bring on something that you'd rather not, well, bring on. There was the one about walking under a ladder...or how many of you remember that little ditty about stepping on a crack and breaking your Mama's back? Yeah? I thought you might LOL  I asked a few people about any superstitions that they may have heard/been told. Not all of them are omens of doom and gloom. Some are kinda funny and some you might even want to have happen. Like this first one: If palm of your left hand is itching, you're going to receive some money.       Okay, that's a superstition that I can deal with. Now don't go rubbing your left hand on poison ivy to make your palm itchy to get money. The only thing you're going to do is end up with itchy palms that will spread and have you bathing in oatmeal and ch...
