Did you see the movie MONSTER?

with Cherlize Theron; about Aileen Wurnous?

Sometimes I can relate to Aileen Wurnous. does that make me bad?

Yes, and yes if the part you relate to is killing people.

Yes and No....That doesn't make you bad.

Now sometimes I relate to Angelina Jolie in "Girl Interrupted". That means I'm just plain evil and I know it. And here's the kicker: and I don't even care....Sometimes it's ok to have an inner monster. The health professionals say if you don't embrace that part of yourself every once in awhile it will sublimate and become something even less healthy.

Dr. Cicero will be here all week..

I'm Winona Ryder to your Angelina Jolie.

My inner monster has put me in harm's way, once again.

I cried when Medusa lost the diamond in The Rescuers.
That makes me a cartoon villain, not a monster.

I know Aileen was bad, bad, bad and a psychopath...I don't want to kill anyone (well, maybe in my head I shoot people who drive like asshats in traffic but that's an acceptable thing now-days) but sometimes I feel like I try and try and try and some bitch is always going, "but, you HAVE to go back to being a prostitute! How else will we live? You PROMISED me a house on the beach..." you know, the Christina Ricci character who EGGED Aileen on, even when she was trying desperately to go straight (which was really sad).

anyway---glad to see I'm not the only one.

I couldn't tell if you were channeling charlize or telling about it. No I didn't see the demented psycho movie because I am truly sensitive but 'girl interrupted' was tame enough.

We all have our inner dragons tho.

It is a powerful movie; I felt the Ricci character egged Aileen on, definitely. Anyone else who saw the movie feel that way?

It is a pretty brutal portrayal of human depravity, sky. Not everyone is really up for that. I've been told not to study certain authors (by professors, no less) because of my personality and the conflict it might create if i did. weird, huh?

sorry, I had to go sleep for a while.

I heard it is brutal. I think if you can handle that movie you can study whatever the hell you want. Not watching or reading anything should be a very personal decision.

wow,I find myself very annoyed at that dude.
Because of your personality? wow if a professor said that to me I'd be thinking/imagining a dagger just for him. What a head tripper he is! yeah take that mister smarty pants. ugg. oh boy...he's got a big dose of bad karma comming his way.

I thought that the relationship between the two typified what you get when you put two dysfunctional, needy bitches in the same room.

I do not like borderlines*.

I don't.

but you know that.


_______
* There are a few exceptions to this rule. There are a couple borderlines that I deal with on an unfortunately regular basis for whom I have managed find some endearing quality about. If I don't do this, I'd probably kill them outright where they stand, or smother them with a pillow while they sleep in my lobby, but since they put in the new cameras, there aren't any clear zones, so I guess I'm stuck with them until they do themselves in.
