Scary movies and my "TA DA" list

Let's start with the TA DA list...you know like when you made something awesome as a kid and wanted to present it and went TAAA DAAAAHHHH! So instead of my to do list...it's my ta da list. A co-worker recommended checking out this guys blog because it had an awesome article about being a gamer nerd and comparing that to real life. I work with gamers and because I have no time for them, they like to poke fun at my lack of game nerdiness, which I in turn tell them they have no life! It's all in good fun so don't get your panties in a wad. A couple things I love is that he uses little Lego men to tell his stories **awesome** and that he is traveling around the world on what he calls the Epic Quest. It's absolutely fascinating to me that someone can literally travel with a backpack and 1 pair of shoes....WHAT??? That's not possible you say! Well as I was overlooking his blog and all the craziness of his daily adventures, he mentions his bucket list and the goals he has completed and that totally made me think that should definitely be apart of my blog. But I don't like the phrase "bucket list". I am not sure it's because they made it a movie about 2 old guys getting ready to die or what, but I don't want to wait until I am going to die to actually accomplish stuff...ergo...the "TA DA" list. It's definitely more fashionable and definitely girly!!

The other thing we were talking about today was horror flicks. The kind that are so gruesome you can barely stand to look at the tv without your hands over your eyes, peeking out, as if that would actually make it all better. When yummee and I first started dating, we watched The Hills Have Eyes....yowsers...I was practically climbing the wall trying to get away from the bad guys in this movie.

Yes, I am a total freakazoid...and yes, he still laughs at me to this day about this movie. Other horror flicks of note:

Wolf Creek - loosely based on true events

Wrong Turn - yucky inbred rednecks 

Hostel - never want to travel to a foreign country

Tourista - another one that makes me just go....yep, can't leave my house

Strangeland - so now the crazy person is my neighbor

We also had discussions yesterday about The Ring and The Grudge. Whenever I have to work late, I always think of the scene in The Grudge with the elevator. So I think the stairs are safer...uh no, there is also a scene with stairs. So I run like a crazy schyzophrenic to my car, jump in, and lock the doors....um, keep in mind I am in a secured parking garage. Oh wait, there's a movie about that too...

So what horror flicks make you want to hide your fingers under your butt so no one can snip them off? ...yep, that is in several movies.

PS> I am immediately going home to snuggle with yummee and put on some really horrific stuff on Netflix....of course, that's after the youngin's go to sleep. It just wouldn't be cool to give a 2 year old nightmares to early in life...just sayin'
