@carrie1977 here, me too...the one thing I know is that I changed radically when I git pregnant. As a matter of fact, I read The Shinning probably late teens or early twenties, I didn't go to work 3 days because I couldn't put the book down, I LOVED Lovecraft, and Dorian Gray was my most favorite story for years.... when I learned proper English, was through going to the public library, and I would get biog print (I am a visual memory person) and I read countless horror books, and even enjoyed still some movies....in my first month of pregnancy I started reading zone mystery, which was developing into some horror...involving children..... I dropped it. Then there was some dragon fantasy in another book, that developed into some horror, again, dropped. Then I was working as a health advocate and interpreter for The area, which included University College of London Hospitals, and Great Ormmond Street which is the Children's Hospital.... I took an appointment for there... it was a very small child, under 1, with cancer. I got out of that assignment in tears and devastated... so I called them and begged to be kept out of the Children's hospital, and also decided horror wasn't for my anymore.....so, foes into 26 years in which I have made very rare viewings of horror.... and I also find no pleasure on seeing dystopian movies, or even my beloved Star Trek, which nowadays they are destroying Rodenberry's vision of something hopeful and beautiful, a world with peace and helpful science missions, into war and malice.... especially as I am terrified that sci-fi written 50 or more years ago is becoming a reality.... give me "ET phone home" or Close Encounters" any day.... no horror or dystopian stuff....having said that, I love cop shows and all kind of crime...I often wonder what is this obsession the human race has with murder and sleuthing stuff LOL
anyway, I was coming to admire Heather 's page and got totally side track, but, as this is something I have in my mind quiet a lot lately, I think my heart just needed to stop and talk
LOVE love LOVE this, Heather!!! I know you have some spectacular pages with your boys I need to stop at, but I saw this and is so marvelously composed, so beautifully depicted!!! the way you transformed an un-likeable feeling into a piece with beauty and a journaling that makes you connect with (quiet a lot I think) us.... brilliant.
As I already got side tracked (from trying to decide on POP for this week LOL) I think I will do a little detour and take this into the October Froggy Faves!!!!
@MrsPeel Thank you for the FF, Cynthia!! I also agree with you on the latest Star Trek, the whole tone of the show has changed with this latest installment. However, I do read, watch and enjoy dystopian futures like Hunger Games, Insurgent, etc. But those are teen fiction, so maybe not as bleak and bloody as adult fiction would be.
ohhh yes, I completely agree with you!!!! I do read and watch that kind of movies or series....I never liked the gore ones, never, not even before pregnancy, some of the things like Hunger Games or Divergent series I like, only it becomes a bit of a stretch when they try milk it.... I get tired of too long series, even when is movies...
I am still watching Star Trek, only I long for the time of The Next Generation, Voyager.... even Depp Space 9 which was the one I really didn't get much into it, had some humor and a less antagonist... and I loved watching the new series, Picard...but again, I find that they made it darker, problematic..... anyway, maybe is me getting terribly old and thinking that all past times were better? LOL definitely getting old
LOVE YOU!!!!!!
@MrsPeel We also watched Picard...found that it was darker than what we would normally watch as a family. Same with Star Trek Discovery. When did Star Trek stop being a family show?! I agree this is against the vision of Rodenberry.
Love you too!
I am such a fan of photo-less pages, and you have created such an amazing page. I am right there with you - not a fan of scary movies or books either. Love your journaling, and your use of the red paint is spot on! Love this so much. Congrats on the well-deserved Froggy Favorite.
