Horrible Horror Movie Whore?

Before I get to the main inspiration, if you can call it that, of today's post let me just recap what has happened so far that led up to this event...

First, I went to bed at like 4am and then woke up at 8am. I called Skyline to double check that Michelle, the so called Bookkeeper, would be available to take my money. I enjoyed using the GPS to get there, but was mad to discover I can't charge it with the cigarette lighter because my car is retarded. Therefore, I had to rely on good olde commonsense to find it. Luckily, it wasn't too hard to find. Despite how much I didn't want to do that, I accomplished it anyhow.

Afterwards, I went over to my crazy Aunt Marie's house. Suffered from a slight lack of direction, but luckily I was quickly able to reorient myself. We went to Smith's where she works, talked to my other aunt on Skype, ate lots of fattening foods, and went over and saw my Grandma. Oh, I also took a nap! :)

Next, it was off to take my 2nd post office test: postal exam 714. Yet again I was lost in some random industrial area off of Bangeter highway. I was able to reboot the GPS for another 5min only for it to lead me to a vaguely correct location. After wandering for another 5min I was able to find the "New Horizons" building I was looking for. How the post office coordinates with so many random places is beyond me? I only have to wonder how many companies the NSA has coerced into cooperating with them too? My test was fairly easy as I am a proficient alphanumeric typist! ;) When I got home and checked my email my results were in and it was very vague as usual and said that I was "eligible."

So, I guess you are wondering where this is all going...? Ok, we are almost there! When I checked my email it said I had a PSN (playstation network) transaction. My first thought veered towards identity theft. However, when it said someone had rented Halloween 2 I immediately knew who it was: Maranda, my little sister. Ok, so my mom's credit card is associated with my PSN account which she calmly accessed and started purchasing anything she wanted off the internet. I was mad at her of course and wanted to punch her in the face, but refrained because as soon as mom and dad get home I am going to tell them that she has been making unauthorized internet purchases with their credit card, specifically to buy rated R movies.

Just about 10min ago I was watching the first part of Halloween II and was thoroughly disgusted. I mean, I thought True Blood sex scenes were vulgar, obscene, profane, and risqué, but I think I was sorely mistaken...that show was the sickest shit I have ever seen in my life, I had to get up and leave the room and vent my feelings through this blog. If you really have to know, I saw the scene where the evil guy grabs this black lady at the hospital and starts stabbing her...continues stabbing...followed my intense gore more stabbing and deep fleshly penetrative sounds.

I have to wonder: what do people see in such movies that make them so entertaining and appealing? Paradoxically, I think that movies like that are what create people who incessantly stab people just for fun. Do people watch them to fulfill some sick fantasy of theirs? I guess they would argue that its an adrenaline rush, but frankly I was just thought it was revolting.

I think we see some of the sort of thing with the new hit Twilight series. Although, I don't hate it as much as Halloween I still find it insanely mundane. I neither connect with the relentless psychotic mass murder nor the apparent sexual tension in Twilight. I suppose this just goes to show that art and literature is entertaining to the extent by which we can relate to it. This would make sense if we hold the assumption that literature's purpose is to convey a message, story, or moral more effectively by sticking it in a more creative, narrative and entertaining form. So, if you are a "Horrible Horror Move Whore" addict, then perhaps you contain within you the desire to ruthlessly murder innocent people? If you are struggling with being such a person or any other sort of nasty habit or addiction just think of all the other problems in the world. That's even more depressing for me you might say? No! Just think of all those problems and use it for motivation to go out and do something to help. There is always someone more unfortunate than you. There will always be many problems in the world that are beyond ourselves. So stop wasting your time on shitty horror movies and go do something constructive!!!

To leave on a slightly more positive note, today's words of the day are: antejentacular (before breakfast) and postprandial (after dinner). So when exactly does a moment transition from being antejentacular to postprandial or vice versa? ;)

Thank you for tuning into the lovely rants of an insecure teenager! Remember, if you learned anything...it's all in your head!
