Definitely IT. ET didn't freak me out at all. My parents were a little lax when it comes to what movies I could watch growing up. Nothing too bad, but clearly films that were beyond my age range at the time.


Yeah same here though I developed a lover of horror and suspense movis because of that ^,^

There's a lot of trendy queer types who believe gender is genuinely nothing more than putting on a different "hat". The "all gender is drag" types. I've made my opinion of those people known in the past.

And since all of us dedicatedly follow your every step, we all remember collectively what your opinion about the gender hat people is.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

To be fair, I'm pretty wonkily-gendered so the confusion is understandable :p

And the only who might be more wonky is me as I have been battling who am I really for the last 13 years. I think I know who I am as I realize the more things change, the more I see the same signs appear again and again.

Good. I wouldn't ever want any of my disparaging remarks to be confused with being aimed towards genuine issues of identity, but I don't think enabling people just desperate for attention is good for their health.

When I say identity, I mean gender, or sexual identity. Not personality, or visual style, or social graces, or anything like that.

That sounds like a leading question, and therefore, a sneaky Julian trap.


Drat! I've lost my game :p my traps don't seem to work anymore.

I understood what you meant with identity :) I'm pretty much like you, open minded about all that, though I take it to the far liberal extreme, which is good imo.

I'm terrible with any type of horror. I didn't sleep properly for days after seeing something as tame as Signs, if you can believe that.

Hey, I didn't say they didn't work. Just that I could spot them. If I decide to walk into a trap knowingly, that's up to me. ;)

It's great to be open-minded, as long as you carry a certain level of scepticism as well. People who want attention abuse open-minded people, so you've got to be able to differentiate.

Has the boyfriend exploited this? To be fair, Signs did have some pretty creepy moments to it. That's more my kind of horror film. The film was actually based on a supposed "home movie" years back of a family that lived on a farm that got visited by aliens. It was obviously a hoax, but it was very well made, and it was made well before the home-movie trend of films took root. I'll have to dig it out, as it was much creepier, if I recall.

Do not want! The boyfriend hasn't yet exploited this, which is unusual as he's a pretty talented troll when he puts his mind to it... oh well, I ain't gonna suggest tips :p

You've come to the right person. I've got a few of them on Steam. Haven't played most of them yet. Although horror movies don't do much for me, my tolerance level for scary games is a lot lower, so they can creep the hell out of me. I've got Outlast and The Evil Within yet to play. Those are gonna be fun.
