Where to draw the line?Some what controversial, so beware ...and something that has been on my mind for a while... I actually want to talk about two things that are quite interlinked.
What is okay to joke about? Are there things you see as off limits? do you believe joking about something ' e.g death, murder, drugs, rape, homosexuality, gender, religion, historical events etc' is good or bad?
Do you believe jokes supply relief, help soften attached stigmas and make issue easier to talk about? or do you believe they minimize the issue and do more damage than good? 'e.g referring a girl as a 'bitch', simply because she is a girl, implying someone getting beaten at something is getting 'gang raped', using the word 'gay' to describe unpleasantness or someone being an idiot/lame.
I myself joke about everything, there is little I won't joke about but I am sensitive to whom I tell these jokes too, usually close friends or people I know won't be offended by them. (obviously there are some topics I conside

Your fears?My last journal has made me very curious about this topic? what scares you and why? What gives you nightmares and do you have any phobias?
Mine would have to be....hmmm let me see? there is very little I am scared of in respect to what the population is usually scared of? I love heights, love getting injections..., love getting piercings, love going to the dentist, dark places don't scare me? I don't believe in ghosts or anything paranormal, Blood and gore don't phase me in the slightest, I love insects, arachnids, rodents reptiles, bats etc...but there are two things I am very afraid of. One is space, it just freaks me the fuck out... I hate watching documentaries about space because it reminds me of the vast expanses of the universe and how mortal and insignificant mankind is :iconcryforeverplz: the other thing that terrifies me is deep water... the thought of it just makes me panic... you don't know whats down there and I always panic I will lose sight of the surface. If I can see t

Two for TwoI personally think this dream is odder than yesterday's [Honestly it verges on nightmarish in atmosphere.]
The furthest back I can remember of the dream, some criminal guy is holding up a store, he tells everyone not to move, or try to signal for help, or anything like that.
In spite of his threats, one woman attempts to call...someone, not even sure who, from a payphone mounted on the wall, but he notices.
She flees, and here is where it gets weird. Seems the guy can brainwash people and have them follow his commands, and a bunch of people who were previously her co-workers or customers eagerly rush to do their new master's bidding and capture and/or kill her.
She escapes, though. Unfortunately, as the dream goes on, his sphere of influence just keeps increasing, with random passers by coming under his control increasingly frequently and resuming the chase. At one point, having taken a subway train to another location, she finds herself in a concrete tunnel, and having to avoid some s

What is your Personality Type?http://www.personalitytype.com/career_quiz_2
This is WAYYYYYYYY cool. Or maybe I'm just really easily impressed.
Either which, if you guys would have the time to take this awsome quiz and post your results in the comments, I would be most grateful. It's just 4 questions.

...it is seriously awesome.

Apparently my personality type is ah...INFP (Introvert, iNtuitive, Feeler, Perceiver)
I am now going to force everyone I care about to take this quiz. :icontrollfaceplz:

looking for musicEdit: Thanks for all the tracks so far, guys! It'll take me a while to get through them, but I'm giving each song a listen, so again, thank you!
Getting bored of my playlist and in desperate need for something new. Hit me up with your favourite tracks. I'm pretty open about what I'll listen to, though I'd prefer some faster paced stuff since it makes work go by easier.

soul-tired (another meaningless rant lol)I'm tuckered out.
Not physically, ya know...
I slept for 12 hours today...and just after 4hours of being awake (it's night now lol) I'm exhausted.
I'm blue.
I'm down.
I'm sad.
There's this empty, aching void inside me.
I feel like I'm missing something. Someone.
I feel like crying but I don't have the energy of reason for it.
I don't really know why I'm feeling so blue. It doesn't make any sense. Nothing bad has happened.
Maybe it's because I'm lonely and bored. Mostly lonely.
Nothing is fun when you're lonely.
The only "fun" I have is when I play Sims or Spore...but neither of that can cheer me up. Nothing is fun when you're doing it alone all the time. All. The. Time.
I think it's this loneliness that's eating me from the inside out. I spend 24/7 my room which is also my house. I'm
locked up in my room every single day, staring at the laptop. Every single day. Wouldn't that drive one insane? I can go out...but why the heck would I want to go out alone wandering the stre

.I am carved of hollow stone,
emptiness echoing
in the cavern of my heart.

Playin the piano....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17lKwSoOuX8
My mom hasn't heard me play the piano for very long...so I recorded a short mashup of random melodies on the spot so I can let her hear. (would you recognise them?

)
I sound so crude on the piano....I wish I knew what to do to improve. Till then, I'll just keep on playing.
Thank you kindly for taking a look/listen.

Now I'm just nothing to him. Nothing but flesh and bones with tainted blood coursing through my veins.

What makes the perfect horror

Journal Entry: Sat Nov 5, 2011, 2:02 AM

I loooooovvvveeeee talking about movies...so that is what I shall do...

Just watched Paranormal activity 3...my god it was terrible but then again I don't have a clue why I was expecting much .... It was a boring repeat of both the first movies and even tried to entwine the 'scary cult' effect

... The only movies that I think pull of the documentary or home-video gone wrong is the remake or original version of rec. and The Blair Witch Project. I am quite nit picky with movies and I don't find many/ if any movies scary but one I remember giving me chills was the movie The Langoliers made from the novel by Steven King, this could have been because I was 8-9 at the time

I find movies where the 'antagonist or evil force' stays hidden or is never revealed to be the best since this draws on the fear of the unknown while your cookie cutter Hollywood movies need to have all kinds of gory special effects and scary monsters in an attempt to scare viewers. I was quite the horror junky a while back but I liked the classics like the original Halloween, Nightmare on Elm street, Alien, Friday the 13 etc.

Some of my favourite horror/thriller/zombie movies T^T 28 days later, 28 weeks later, The road^{damn this movie is brilliant}, Dawn of the Dead, All the alien movies, Sunshine ( the more psychological thriller type movies that I love to death are The Machinist, American Psycho, A clockwork Orange ( and Dogville though it was more of a drama)

least favourite...god where do I start...Hostel, All the saw movies, The day after tomorrow, 2012, knowing, The remake of Halloween and A Nightmare on Elm street, ( I quite liked the remake for Friday the 13th... Jason running was epic ) Alien vs Hunter, All the Alien vs Predator movies, Freddy vs Jason, All the scream movies ( number one was kinda ok though ) Though I really do love watching 'bad' horror movies, they are hilarious! I still need to watch the Human Centipede and Teeth XD

Soooo tell me? what is your favourite scary movie and why? and if you can recommend some ones that you think are good, I will be happy *3* Also what in movies scars you? and what makes you

Cloverfield and War of the World. I also enjoy My Bloody Valentine and Saw.

What makes a perfect horror movie? Unpredictable scenes. Good actors. Things that are sudden and make you jump. And lots of blood! I also enjoy when everyone dies. Or if not, at least most of them.

What makes me face palm is when these women run for their lives and always seem to fall down. Scenes where you know what's going to happen because you've seen it in so many movies already.

I haven't watched all too many horror movies... Mainly because it's only recently that I've begun to like them. The only movies that have scared me before, though, are more on the psychological side, and less of the gory side. Personally, I find gore hilarious. I mean, some movies just make it look entirely unreasonable and I have to laugh at it! xD ...but I've yet to find a movie that really 'scares' me.

~magic-biscuit-tree Nov 11, 2011 Student Writer

Something realistic is always scarier. But The Omen freaks me, it was the first horror film I saw and I was five at the time. I can remember never sleeping

~artsygirl123 Nov 10, 2011 General Artist

Hmm... I'm a realy wimp when it comes to horror movies. I never watch them for my own will. My friends love them, so I get dragged to them all the time, though XD I would have to say "Friday the Thirteenth" and "The Excorcist" are the two scariest movies I've seen. Especially "The Excorcist." That thing is really messed up

~applejuiice Nov 9, 2011 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

i jumped so many times in paranormal activity 3 but it wasnt scary, it was actually extremely stupid, like the worst one yet

~Moonrisepower Nov 9, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

I looooooooooooove the Machinist. I am a big christian bale fan, but I would have loved it anyways.
I haven't seen a lot of good horror movies. I did see blair witch project, which was all right. My brother has seen human centipede and teeth and described them in great detail to me... seemed pretty hilarious.

~Shikakira Nov 9, 2011

The Uborn is good

*chaos-of-vinnie Nov 9, 2011

I'm not that much of a horror person; I get scared quite easy, but I do enjoy a nice thriller where it keeps the mind guessing, and yes I find not knowing straight away what the 'bad-guy' is straight away always makes it more frightining.
I'm useless when it comes to gory films, or people being tortured it always gets me emotionaly aka I cried when I watched Hostel and didn't even get halfway through XD
I hate zombie films and don't find them interesting :/ the kind of films that scare me are ghost films such as Poltergeist, this maybe because I was young, but I remember it being very scary. The other thing that terrafies me is freaky ass puppets, like ventrilaquist ones, that come to life and kill people *shudder* I watched Dead Silence last night and it freaked me out!!! X/

Teeth is laughable you'll probaly enjoy that, uh, Mirrors is a little freaky. I can't think of any others :S

~yanxxx Nov 8, 2011

Asian horror movies! They give me the creeps. You know like the ring, the eye, one missed call, shutter, the grudge... that kind of stuff.

!thebagelfiend Nov 8, 2011

silence of the lambs. that is all.
yeah... the blair witch project was good. i'm a horror movie junkie.
