OMG PLEASE TO KILL ME NOW BEFORE I DIE FOREVER.

*collapses*

This week has been positively insane. I say that every week, but it's true every week, so there you go. I've been working my fingers to the BONE, with no opportunity to break. SO TIRED. I've come home the last two nights around 8:00, watched Gilmore Girls (I found a used DVD set of the ( Read more... )

SIDENOTE: When I was ten, I dressed up as Dieter for Halloween. Black wig, black turtleneck, black jeans, glasses. My father loved it; no one else in the neighborhood got it. My geekhood started so early. :)

I only turn on the TV now for:

[1] Gilmore Girls (the first season really is outstanding)

[2] to watch a movie from my shelves

anniesj July 14 2005, 15:50:34 UTC

Heeee! I can definitely understand that. *g*

My addiction to DVD boxed sets of TV shows is unflagging. My God. I'm going to end up buying S2 at the end of this, aren't I? AND OMG THE MUSIC!!!

all those damn cancer books Lurlene McDaniel wrote, therefore making your childhood a constant terror of "OMG DO I HAVE LEUKEMIA?!?!?!"

her name was DAWN and her best friend sandy DIED in one of those freaky mexican clinics omg ahahahahah.

nobody else remembers these. i mention them and people look at me like i have six heads.

they were part of a scholastic series called "heartlines". they did diabetes, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, anorexia... the whole panopoly of WAYS TO DIE AT FOURTEEN.

this just makes me very very afraid for ALL of western civilization.
Could this perhaps explain why the world is in the state it is in?

traveller July 14 2005, 16:38:05 UTC

i think, to paraphrase a man wiser than i, that reason the world is in the state it's in is because people are fundamentally people, and there's nothing anyone can do to change that.

all joking aside, kids are fascinated with death and disease because they need to process what those things are and what those things mean, and too often their parents won't step up and explain.

Oops - that came across way snarkier than I actually meant it to be. I do remember how much impact those kinds of books had on me when I was a teen. I devoured every Holocaust surivor story I could find when I was that age! I really didn't mean to demean these stories because it is important for kids to feel like someone is taking them seriously. I always liked Paula Danziger too because of that.
