Do you mean outraged (but not really) at my sister not liking your books anymore? I was surprised as well, but she doesn't really read anymore. She's more into drama. I'm actually really glad that's how I found your books because I didn't get any pocket money back then so I wouldn't have been able to buy my own copies. Ironically, now I spend twice as much money as I need to because I can never wait for the paperback when new ones come out.
I've never heard of any of those books though, I will look for them.
Say, Zemira? Wasn't it you who has a torture chamber for your Sims? I can't believe you have a weak stomach!

I actually wouldn't mind that job, Zemira... I Iike gruesome medical stuff, lol. I don't generally come on here at work (though I could, go unlimited internet access), but I generally have too much to do to come online other than in lunch break. I'm a discharge officer for a finance company - all the stuff I do summed up as I let people stop their mortgages and give people their house to own. I'm a nice finance person

I'm an assisstant, meaning that so far, I get grunt work. The stuff the higher-ups don't want to do. Which is ok, I guess, except for gross pics. Hopefully, I'll get some stuff to do that requires actual neurons. Ha, yeah right.
And shy, yes, I am in luve with horror but I can't watch it. Sad, no? I've "seen" the Alien movies with my eyes closed and listening to it. I've "seen" the Child's Play movies the same way. Most of those, I can watch certain parts. Doom (that bad movie based off the video game) I didn't see any of. I can usually see the blood/guts in video games. I luve the series BloodRayne which is usually censored when clips are shown on tv.
And everyone knows I luve Stitch-face. So, basically, I'm a hypocrite without meaning to be. I luve horror, I just can't really enjoy it as everyone else does. But I'm still an evil person who enjoys torturing her Sims. ^_^

I'm exactly the other way round, I can watch and watch and watch any horror film you give me no matter what the gore or ghosts and be absolutely fine (although I do sleep with the lights on for a while afterwards, I have an over active imagination...) but I feel so guilty if I even laugh at someone else torturing their sims. I can play Worms and stuff, 'cause they don't really look hurt when they get blown up, but anything that sounds or looks like it's in pain I feel horrible about.
Seriously, I have to turn off the sound when I battle Sableyes in the pokemon games because they make such a mournful noise when I beat them. They sound so sad!

Heh, you have an overactive-conscience then too. And I have an underactive one. Hmmm...

I dunno... I think my conscience may be selectively over-active. Some things don't bother me at all when they really should, and other things I'm really sensitive about.
Ah well, I shall explain this away in the manner I do every personality quirk; I was dropped on my head as a baby.
I kid you not. I really was. On a stone step.

I was too! I was born in Jan, and my dad was trying to carry me into our apartment, but he slipped and dropped me on a step covered in ice. ^_^

Also a Jan baby, and I've explained my weirdness from day dot from being left alone in the kitchen, at about a month old, when a giant earthquake came along and a massive board of sthingys smashed on my head.
I didn't even cry.

Thankfully, I've never been in an earthquake. I'm in the dead center of the US right on top of a supposedly very active fault line, and nothing. At least, nothing that I could feel. I know there's an earthquake every few seconds, but I have never experienced one, so I guess I'm lucky.

Apparently us Jan babies are really getting beat up. I must have missed the memo that said to injure your baby.

What are we, the infant head trauma club? It can't be a January baby thing anyway, 'cause I was born in July. Your daughter is safe and sound.

I dunno if it's something to yay about, most people ask if that has happened because they think you're crazy, if we all have had it happen people might start to just assume we're crazy...
