Personal Entry #1

Fnord12's been extraordinarily busy of late so you've been left in my rather incapable hands. You prolly noticed the utter lack of posts which you'd grown so accustomed to getting in abundance and frequently. What can i say? I only post when something really strikes me and i'm not left too disgusted to talk about it. In a futile attempt to alleviate your boredom, i offer this little tidbit.

I seem to have developed a nervous habit of late. I won't tell you what it is. Let's see if those of you around me can guess. It's nothing gross. But the action serves no purpose even though it's designed to appear as if it is purposeful. Like my unshakeable habit of throwing in the word "like" into every sentence i utter, this nervous habit is grating on my nerves. And i'm the one doing it. But i can't stop. So annoying.

Also, i'm interested in this movie The Covenant due to the whole "supernatural powers" angle. The only problem is, it's a horror/thriller and i'm a big wussy and refuse to watch horror movies. Why the hell did i have to acquire a fascination for the supernatural when i'm such a wimp? I can't even watch campy horror movies like Friday the 13th XXXXX: Jason and the Space Herpies or I Know What You Did Last Summer. I blame my cousin. When i was 3, she forced me to watch The Fall of the House of Usher with her and threatened to tickle me if i closed my eyes. I still remember the crazy sister killing the butler with the spiked mace. Let's put it this way. After seeing Evil Dead 2 and 3, i was a little apprehensive about having to go to the bathroom by myself.

Still reading? You must really be bored.

I offered to help you overcome that fear of horror movies, but you refused. I told you its like eating spicy food, you need to build up a tolerance.

By the way, I believe "The Covenant" is supposed to be based (loosely) on the White Wolf Mage game system, just like the "Underworld" movies. However, there's something about this movie that I don't like, so I'll probably steer clear of it. I think I'd rather see the Japanese version of "Pulse" (called Kairo) instead.

Also, if you feel like getting over your Horror movie aversion, you can start slow with "Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth". Its a comedy. I'll lend it to you, but you'll need one of those old "VHS" players from back in the day.

The DUNGEON MASTER is afraid of the boogey man? Why don't you try watching "Ghostbusters"? I'm not afraid of Freddy and Jason but I have vowed never to watch "The Excorcist" and I still won't say "Bloody Mary" three times in the dark while looking into a mirror. That will definitely conjure up the reflection of a blood soaked spectre looking something like "Carrie" but wearing a habit.

not the dungeon master. just the lowly monk.

I know we look alike, but me and Priscilla/min are actually two different people.

"Bloody Mary"? Never heard of that one before. "The Exorcist" is not that bad. I can usually watch that one and go to bed after and get a good night's sleep.

I did once find an unlabeled video cassette and played it. It was pretty scary, as it was a collection of William Shatner's greatest spoken word hits.

If you're still looking for a horror movie that will help aclimate you to the realm of horror movies without actually being scary, you could always try "Stuart Gordon's: Deathbed". Its the first step away from horror/comedy movies, and it sucks so bad that you can't be afraid of it.

Also, it has Joe Estevez.
