_________________ 1 17 pm pdt [ fright night ] I forgot a major part of why I was writing last night's entry. It was absolutely pouring, so I couldn't get motivated to go buy some soy milk. I reconciled all my finanaces and was flipping through channels when I got to Halloween H20. In an attempt to overcome my feelings about scary movies, I nestled into the couch. The computer in my lap was there as a distraction. The rain poured and poured. I made Tater-Tots. I made sure all the doors were locked. I'm not sure why people delight in being made nervous, but I suppose it makes us feel very alive. Fear and sex are linked (i.e. teens making out after a scary movie at the drive in) and I suppose in a relationship being scared with someone signals that you trust them and feel safe with and protected by them. One of my film professors said that people watched scary movies to prepare themselves for bad events. I asked what it meant if one didn't like scary movies, and he said it meant one was well adjusted. The whole class laughed. He was a wonderful German man and I used to write in my notebook funny quotes that he said. I should type those up some time... |
