Oooooh Scary

So tonight, the husbanian and I sat down to watch a film. As per usual I had no clue what it was about. Anywho, sat down, watched it, bored the husbanian and it gave me the complete wiggins. Which has inspired me to share with you, what movie's creep me out.

*Disclaimer: I am a pretty big wuss, so what does not scare most people gives me the total heebs.*

1. The Wizard of Oz

This one, my friends is simple, FLYING MONKEYS. It's just wrong. They gave me the creeps when I was a kid and they still freak me out now.

2. The Blair Witch Project

Now, when it comes to Blair Witch people generally have one of the following three responses: It's stupid, It's nauseating, Holy-fucking-shit-i-just-peed-my-pants. I have the latter response. I still remember going to a midnight screening and being so terrified I was nearly in tears and I had to physically hold myself in my seat to not leave the cinema. Scares the crap out of me. Even now. I own it on DVD.....never watched it. Same as...........

3. Wolf Creek

Shit Scary. I could not watch "Better Homes & Gardens" for MONTHS after this. And John Jarrat still freaks the crap out of me.

4. The Ring

Both the American and original Japanese version are just plain creepy. When she climbs through the teev?? Urghhhhh. Makes my skin Crawl.

5. Pitch Black

Not sure if it's the creepy alien planet setting, the creepy alien things that eat you, or Vin Deisel's acting but it creeped me out. Bad.

As I could go on for a while, I'll leave them as the big ones, but honourable mentions need to go to:
- Alien/s/s3 etc.
- The Dark Crystal
- The ORIGINAL Texas Chainsaw Massacre
- The ORIGINAL Psycho
- Apollo 18 (tonight's film)
- Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
and
- Anything involving Brittney Spears or Miley Cyrus.

Have a good night....Leave a light on, and check under your bed :o)

Perception

Some people see me as a bitch. This is due to several things.

1. I'm loud. I seem to only have one volume, which is about an 11. At a whisper I'm maybe a 6, but that's trying REALLY hard to be quiet.

2. I'm honest. To a fault. I say what I am thinking pretty much 95% of the time. Now being honest is a good thing in general, but due to my lack of brain filter some of the stuff that comes out of my mouth is not always, shall we say, tactful.

3. I swear more than I should.

4. I have an opinion. On EVERYTHING.

But probably mostly because, well I can be a REAL bitch.

Every now and then though you realise you do something that you see as self preservation where other people see as bitchy behavior. It's all perception really.

I guess for me the big test as to how irrational I've been is to review things the next day. If I look back and think shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, usually means I stuffed up. If I look back and think "OK....maybe slightly hasty, a bit (or alot) of an overreaction, and a touch dramatic" but I am ultimately still OK with what happened then as crazy as I was at the time, the right decision was made.

Perception is a funny thing though. How people perceive you can define you if you're not careful. It's tricky not to get to sucked into believing the things others say or think of you, generally especially if those things are negative. Or maybe that's just me. If someone tells you something long enough, whether it be true or not that seed of doubt gets planted, and with enough water (thoughts) it can grow to this huge effing tree of self crapness.

And I for one, am jack of it. I embrace who I am. I am fat (but working on it). I am honest. I am loyal. I am loud. I cry at everything. I love my family and friends with an immeasurable strength. And, I am proud to say, I am a bitch. But you know what? I. Am. Me. And I think that overall, I'm not too bad. Not perfect, but OK.

And you know what? I think you're pretty freaking awesome too.

I confess.....

Ok, So I've been inspired by a new FB group I'm in to spend a bit more time on my blog. Now, don't get all crazy like and think I'm going to start blogging about massively important issues like world peace, but I am going to put my general thoughts about life, love and what pee's me off into the ether a bit more often. Starting tonight.

For those of you new to the inner workings of my somewhat addled brain it basically consists of 40% pointless movie facts (I KICK ARSE at 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon), 40% Song Lyrics (pretty much anything from the 50's to Chart music) and the 20% that's left is stuff that might be remotely useful in day to day life.

I have many hobbies. I love to sew, I love to read, I LOVE to try new things (that I usually do for about three weeks then move on....), I love food (hence my sizable arse), I love live music and I love to write.

I also love to read trashy magazines such as Who and NW. I immerse myself in them. I know, it's a tragic waste of that 20% that I could be using for that important stuff, but I'll let you in to a secret as to WHY I read them.....It's really very simple. They make me feel better about MYSELF. I mean seriously.

Exhibit A:

Nicki Minaj. The chick has probably a bajillion dollars, well maybe not a bajillion, but a shitload and this is the BEST outfit she could muster??? Now, I know she might be going for the quirky/odd/WTF factor, which she would have achieved had Lady Gaga not been doing it for a couple of years. This makes me feel better about my fashion choices. Even when I was 10 years old wearing lime green bike pants and had a mullet I DID NOT LOOK THIS BAD!!!

Exhibit B:

Angelina Jolie. Now SHE has a bajillion dollars. This chick has Brad Pitt as arm candy, a mega humanitarian and has lips to die for. But for the love of god, can someone feed her!!!! Makes me feel better about myself as its a reminder to me that skinny is NOT always beautiful.

And as you can imagine I could go on and on. But I won't. Cause I want you to come back. Please. PLEASE come back!!

Ah well, that's enough for now. But if you ever feel inspired to have a go at celebrities in their Sunday bests, you should check out STUNT girls on FB. Every Monday Jill does a review of the highs and lows of celebrity fashion for the week. I love it. Look forward to it even. Anywho TTFN.

Listography - Goals for April

So, the ever fabbo Kate from Kate takes 5 has set the listography challenge of five goals for April.

Here goes mine:

1. Complete all unfinished sewing projects I currently have floating around. If I have cut it I will sew it (oooohhhh a little bit Field of Dreams there).

2. Loose 5 kilograms. I'm on my way.....If I loose 5 I'll only have, oh, say 25 to go.

3. Have a happy birthday! It's my birthday on the 5th so better make it awesome hey?

4. Cull some of the kids toys. I mean really, how many Disney Princess'/Fairies/Tea Sets do two kids need?

5. Catch up with some friends. I haven't been spending enough time maintaining my friendships lately so me thinks it's time to rectify that.

Happy April, have a great Easter full of chocolatey goodness and God Bless (if that's what you're into...which I'm not, but it's not all about the bunnies hey?)
