So there was a blizzard and I took a bunch of pictures. At like 8am I was really bored so I asked Kerri if she wanted to hang out, however my car was buried (pics below) so we both walked out and met halfway.

And omg I'm wearing my super awesome scarf that rant made, I've been wearing it a lot the past week or so cause it looks really good with my new hat. HAHA. =D Yay. There are a lot of me cause I was just like, you know, walking around in the snow, being vain. LOL. Yeah vanity! I just really love that scarf, it's so colorful. Also? It's a MONSTER. But you can't tell.


They're not color processed like I usually do since I don't trust this monitor, just resized. haha. How candid.

See that shit? It's my front porch. I could get the door to open like 3 inches to stick my camera out and that was about it. LOL. Damn. I want to go take more pictures later when the sun is up. Though I'm hesitant to really post any cause I have my laptop plugged into a monitor and it looks weird and I don't want them to look all shitty. Though I mean, when you think about it, everyone's monitors are different anyway so for all I know, you thought my pictures looked like this the whole time? Idk.



I love how we're in the middle of a blizzard and I have to call my job to tell them I can't come in. You'd think they'd call us and cancel the shift. Assholes.



Also, it took a while for the new Alice in Chains to grow on me, but now that I'm on board, I can't stop listening to it. By "took a while" I mean I listened to it when it leaked and then didn't try it again until a few days ago. I really love it. Your Decision is what really got to me, it has that.... feeling, you know, like that feeling Nutshell gives you? That Alice in Chains wow-I-think-I-should-kill-myself feeling. I love it.

Found this survey in an old entry like 2 years ago, I'll try it again cause now it'll be UPDATED.



1. How many shows have you been to?
70 that I can recall.

2. Who do you go to the majority of your shows with?
Kerri! She's the only local metalhead I know. haha.

3. Do you crowdsurf or mosh?
I love to be on the edge of the pit to shove people, occasionally I actually jump in and mosh if the music overwhelms me enough. I've never crowdsurfed, mostly because I'm too self conscious and I'm way too afraid of something important falling out of my pockets. LOL. But it looks really fucking fun. I hope I get to try it one day.

Lately it seems like I'm only making actual entries when I want to complain about something. WELL WHATEVER.


So I want to complain today about People Who Watch Dexter Even Though They've Never Given a Shit About Serial Killers.


Following me?


So here's some personal history for me: I started watching horror films religiously around age six or so - I know, I know - it explains a lot. That was the age at which I started watching the Friday the 13th series, and I would rent them every week and saw the whole series in order. Then it continued to other series and other films and we had a tiny video store here in Sound Beach, with a tiny little horror section, and over the next seven or eight years I probably took out every movie from it. I've always loved horror stuff and I've always been kind of morbid, I've always been interested in death and weird shit.

As I got older this switched less from just horror films to more about serial killers - Silence of the Lambs had a huge impact on me, I saw that around age 11 or 12 I guess, and it really made me think about the psychological aspects. It got me really interested, and I found myself watching more Crime TV and Autopsy and shit like that.

Then okay, in high school. I started watching Six Feet Under during the third season, I think, when HBO put the first season on demand and I was able to start from the beginning. Eventually I caught up and for the rest of the show I'd watch it every week while it was on. David was my favorite character because I was so impressed by Michael C. Hall's acting - the way the character is just such a mess and always barely keeping it together when he's always losing it on the inside, the way he just so slightly keeps his lid on it. I was so impressed by MCH that I just really enjoyed watching him do his thing on that show.


So I think this combination of things is really what made me piss my pants in excitement when I found out that MCH was going to be a fucking SERIAL KILLER in his next series. RIGHT!? OMG. So I had to order Showtime just for Dexter, and I think they were like 3 episodes in when I finally got Showtime and watched the first 3 on demand and caught up and I've been really obsessed ever since.


That, combined with my sociopath/robot phase (that I'm still working out), made me feel really drawn to this character. He's really important to me. Between seasons I miss him, and when he returns it makes me feel so at home and relieved. Between the stories themselves and the way MCH breathes life into this character it just makes me feel so comforted - not to be like a brainless fangirl like SHJDKGLSHDJ OMG I RELATE 2 HIMMM, but in the sense that I know how it feels to have to fake interactions, be different people, and that there are things deep in my mind that I struggle with.

I don't think this show was made for everyone. I think it appeals to a lot of people because he only kills bad guys, so people overlook the fact that he's a SERIAL KILLER, but I don't think it was intended for the mainstream to watch, even though obviously there's a certain amount of capital success that comes from the mainstream audience.


So really what I want to complain about is.............


WHAT IS WITH ALL THESE FUCKING REGULAR-ASS PEOPLE WHO WATCH DEXTER AND JUST DON'T FUCKING GET IT? THEY THINK IT'S SO QUIRKY AND SILLY AND LOL OMG HE KILLS OTHER SERIAL KILLERS, HOW CUTE, A HA HA, OMG!!! AND THEY JUST DON'T GET IT. OMG IT MAKES ME SO FUCKING ANGRY. THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHIND IT, THEY DON'T SEE HOW BRILLIANT IT IS BECAUSE THEY'RE TOO BUSY THINKING IT'S SILLY, THEY DON'T GET SOME OF THE HUMOR AND SOME OF THE HORROR, THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.


I hate getting into conversations with people who don't get it, I hate watching it around other people who aren't Steph or Kerri, I hate overhearing people talk about it. They just don't fucking understand. It infuriates me. I guess it's one of those elitist things, like people are creeping up on my fandom that don't belong there, maybe I'm just being possessive, idk. I don't know really. It just bugs the fuck out of me.


It just irritates me because so many people watch the fucking show and I know that so many of them aren't going to get so much of its commentary, like they're not going to understand so much of the psychology, and they're not going to see a lot of the irony and humor, they just don't get it. And every time the show comes up with someone who doesn't get it, I just get so mad and want to hit them as soon as they say something stupid. WHAT DON'T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND.


Oh my god. He's like, so special and sacred I just want to keep him to myself. There needs to be a screening process to get permission to lay your eyes upon this show lol.


Anyway, yeah. I was building up for a HUGE RANT OMG but it was a small rant because I'm like seriously dying right now, I'm hacking my lungs up and shit and on way too much NyQuil. I've gotten like 36 hours of sleep in the past two days. omg. Stupid flu. So I'm gonna cut this short cause I'm too tired, even though I'd like for some of you to contribute your thoughts cause I know I'm not alone. lol.

I want soup.
