*smiles*   I know what you mean.  I have them on DVD and might have to break them out soon.   :)

Yes, the Eowyn scene with the Witchking was good, too.

I made a booboo

I got drunk in my parents house

and I am not quite sure what I said, all I know is that my mom hugged me

my mom rarely hugs...

I hope that everything is okay.   I'm not really a drinker, so I've never gotten drunk in front of my parents, though I've embarrassed myself in front of them more than a few times.

it's alright, my parents are Finnish

they didn't even realize I was drunk...

*laughs*

My parents are descended from English, with some kind of Scandinavian somewhere.
But both my parents were real light weights as far as drinking.
I can get really drunk off just a few drinks.

I'm a very cheap date.

the saddest thing is, I get very very drunk from wine

but can pour almost a bottle of jäger down the hatch before I react

jägermeister is pretty strong, but for some odd reason, I just don't get drunk from it

Everyone can react just a bit differently.    I don't really like many alcoholic drinks, so I usually get sick from beer before I can even get a buzz.    I need to drink really fruity drinks.

A friend of mine literally doesn't get high from smoking marijuana.   It has virtually no effect on him.

ah, human biology is fascinating

we all so different, and still people think we are the same

individuality, weeeeeee

*chuckles*    Yes, the human body is very complex, with an amazing amount of individual differences, both genetically or gained by their upbringing.

We have all kinds of things that can go weird with problems.    :)

we all have a past and a future

it's fascinating how people seem to think some never had a life before they came along, and when that past is shown, in friends or hobbies, they get so... odd and jealous

it's a little illogical

*laughs*    When I was younger, I used to have this weird fantasy that my life was a tv show, and everyone else I met were just "supporting actors" who waited around to interact with me when I wasn't around, and had no real lives until I appeared "on the set".   (this was before The Truman Show and similar concepts)

I didn't really believe this, but it was a fun fantasy.   Basically it was just my way of realizing how odd it was that there was so much going on when I wasn't around, and how little impact my presence had on the lives of others.

I'll agree that it's really arrogant to think that people only have reached their full potential in life once they're friends with me, and even more arrogant, and perhaps a little nutty, to be jealous of my wife's past life or relationships.
Basically, our past, warts and all, made us what we are today.   And though I'd be tempted to change a few things in the past if I could, I can see that my mistakes are a part of me, and I've learned from them.
If I could go back and change the mistakes I've made, I'd probably just make them again now in the present, and that would be pretty awkward.  :)

I never understood that others had lives when I wasn't there either, but that is normal, when a child you think about your life from your own point of view, and later you get to understand how life works for real

except some never do...

but a child is selfish, as they don't know better, when they grow they learn and understand, learn to share, learn to respect others gets to see that others are just as much human as they are

some don't, they refuse to accept that anyone had a life or a past, before them, those are douchebags, then we have psychopaths, that just don't care

Yes, some people are much more selfish and self-centered.  Even a bit, or more than a bit, sociopathic.   Some so spoiled that it doesn't occur to them that other people's wishes and desires have any meaning compared to their own.

I've always tried to put other people first, or at least make them happy as well as me.  It's a bit frustrating at times, but it's been a good way to live.

I like it when I can make another person smile

even if it's a silly joke, or me helping if they need help

I'm just a big believer of being nice and having humanity, the good kind of humanity then, as lately humanity seems to mean to stand by, point and film, and not help...

cause "it's someone else's problem"

I'm the same way.   One of my favorite parts of retail work was making the customers laugh or smile.    Especially when a cranky customer comes in, and I can make them feel just a bit better with a goofy joke or some wacky antics.

I actually used to ask very tired moms if I could help baby-sit their cranky toddlers as they shopped

That is if the store was empty enough

Some even gave me their toddler and babies to carry around, they were just that tired, that they didn't think that I'm a stranger...

I just have one of those faces that people like, I think *shrugs*

I love babies and toddlers

I'm not really a baby person.    So I'd never take a kid off a mother's hands,  no matter how tired she was.    I have an embarrassingly small amount of sympathy for mothers with crappy kids.  :)

Also mothers can tell I'm not good with kids.

Yeah, I'm still very surprised when mother's actually gave me their baby to hold

I must give off a very weird vibe

helpfulness with some odd mix of trustworthy

I'm pretty sure if I told it to the wrong mother, I'd be called a pedo thought

Many people, especially other women, seem to inherently trust women with their children, with the opposite for men.
Though many people tell me that I'd be "a good father", which shows how many people have misjudged me.

It's rather insulting to assume that all women want to, or would be able to be a mother...

so many women are able to birth a baby, being a mother is an entirely different thing

So if a woman doesn't want kids, she's insane and she will change her mind... if a man says the same, people accept it

I have a female friend that doesn't want kids, and I support her right to be a woman, and not a mother

some doesn't want to be it...

so why do we expect it of every bloody woman ever?

Ah, I rant

*chuckles*   you're ranting to someone who agrees with you.

I think that no one should have children unless they REALLY want to.  Even someone who doesn't have any strong feelings about it shouldn't do it.   Raising children to be the next generation of humans is much too important a job to be done by people who don't want to do it.

Too many people feel pressured to have kids by family, and that's just sad.

There was this crisis in Norway when I lived there, where all people has a certain that is their own doctor

and suddenly these own doctors, supplied by the state, not private doctors... They have a weird system

started to say, if their religion forbids it, they will not allow their patients to have an abortion, and this is a country that ha shad the right to abort up until week 12... if I remember correctly, without questions

so the country exploded

I find this abortion law, fight ridiculous, even dead bodies have more power over their body than a pregnant woman

or the news makes it like this, if the woman is pregnant, she has no say, the future baby is the only thing that is important

and this idea, doesn't compute, if the mom is forced to give birth to the baby, are you really kidding yourself into thinking she won't hate the brat? - Aimed to the anti-abortion politicians

Same fight goes on over on this side of the ocean as well.  I'm all for women having the right to choose, and whatever your religion says then that's fine...so long as you don't try to force that belief onto others.

I'm reminded of the argument over whether a woman who is pregnant as a result of rape has the right to have an abortion.  I can't imagine that the child of someone who violated you would not serve as a reminder of that incident.

a victim of rape that ends up pregnant, will either hate the baby cause it looks like her attacker, the fact that it was forced upon her and the fact that people will say "if she got pregnant she clearly wanted it"

yes, some people still think pregnancy is something you need to want, to become...

or then, she might love the child, inspite of where the child came from, some women actually can see that children are innocent

majority of the female rape victims hate the baby, so I don't get why anti-abortionists are so stuck on those very rare and few women that have huge hearts and love the baby...

same as thinking every bloody woman ever is capable of wanting or loving a child

it's like people forget that women can be psychopaths, sociopaths, narcissists and just plane wants to not be anchored by a child for the rest of their life

Some men gets their girlfriends pregnant and they'll leave her, this is normal, they never wanted the kid, but if a woman tries to do the same, all hell breaks loose, she is hated beyond reason. I mean a woman birthing the kid, leaving the kid with the father and running...

The abortion laws, and other laws limiting the rights of women to regulate their pregnancies, are mostly based on religious laws.
In the bible, if a woman is raped, her rapist is forced to marry her.
(please tell me how THAT is a good idea???)

Women have always been treated as nearly mindless baby machines, useful mostly for their fertility.  That's only recently gotten better.

The fact that so many religious politicians are convinced that all women must be and should be happiest when pregnant and married is the key to all the laws discouraging, and sometimes prohibiting, women from having any other kind of life.
