hahaha. yup, it's true. sooner or later everyone i know discovers that i can be every adverb that you can think of in the English language. even my Korean students know this about me. (ug-ly isn't an adverb though, i tell them, so it doesn't work.... unless you can tell me what an "ug" is).
i bet the creator of this comic knows someone named Lee too.
We had a whole *list* of -lence words at one point...there were some that were even more amusing, but those are the ones I remember. It would be awful, but if for some reason we ever had twins it would be terribly tempting to have a matching set of Vio and Benevo Lentzes. Hahahahaha. They kind of sound Italian, right?
You missed a funny scene earlier--we were in line for a movie and discussing whether Bert will sign the Humane Society paperwork so that I can have rats. I said he might have issues with the kitties and rats, Jen made her usual comment about how I'll just be feeding Lucy (grrr). Jarrod pointed out that he'd had both cats and rats. I pointed out that a rat breeder I'd talked to had both, and then that Matt has had both. Yup. Matt had rats and cats. I start to giggle, and the next thing you know, I'm falling over laughing in the lobby of the Lloyd theater (the one not in the mall) talking about Matt patting his fat rats and cats.
GOD, I really want to see that movie!! The three of you and my brother all saw that today. James is sick, and I don't like going to movies alone, so...I'm out of luck. :(
I highly recommend the movie, but I also suggest that seeing it alone is a bad idea even if you don't mind seeing movies alone. Near the end I was very glad to grab Jarrod's hand.
But then, any kind of suspense does a number on me anyway.
Just...don't watch a real horror movie with me in the theater. Ever. Not that it's likely, as I intentionally avoid them, but christ, I screamed all the way through Signs for pete's sake.
I've seen very, very few horror movies in my life...after I watched The Exorcist, I couldn't sleep for days. And that one wasn't really THAT scary.
The scariest thing I've ever seen was some movie I saw on TV when I was 5 or 6, and all I remember about it was this little boy on trial who kept repeating "my mommy hurt my head! my mommy hurt my head!" (She had put his head in a vice :-x). I had to retreat to my bedroom and read all of my happiest books. Urgh.
So yeah, in other words, I've never seen Signs...and we would definitely be clutching each other in terror if we somehow ended up watching a horror movie together (one that was actually scary...I liked The Grudge, but there were enough things to laugh about to keep me from being petrified). But in any case, I'm yammering, and you should call me next time!!! :)
My parents let me watch Poltergeist when I was, like, six. I will never forget some of the images from that movie. It probably wasn't even that frightening to an adult.
What's really fucked up, though; is one of the major things that I remember: In one scene, the dad yells for his daughter to come out of the wall (or something) and he says something like, "I've never spanked you before, but I will!" and I was, at six, completely and utterly shocked to find out there were kids who didn't get spanked. The idea had never occured to me, and it really shook me.

Not scary at all, no.
I tried to watch Scream on VHS and had to walk out near the end of the first scene because I was so nauseated.
