Secret Stories

I am amazed at the secret things people admit to doing on the MSN site. For example; one woman secretly dated her best friend's brother. She then drunkenly told her best friend that she was dating him. Soon after revealing this to her now ex-best friend she found out she was pregnant by him. She then broke it off with him and moved away and never told him. That wasn't the worst, but I was surprised that she wasn't honest with him about the baby. I think one of the worst was this woman pretending to be a new work colleague at her work and setting up a new email account and then emailing her boss raunchy emails. He then responded with raunchy emails and pictures! She kept pretending for awhile and then ended it and quite her job. That one made me laugh and how embarrassing for the boss. Not that he ever knew.

Some of these stories brought to mind how different my life is to others. They also really interested me in that I can live vicariously through others mistakes and not get the consequences. I don't think I would dare do half of the stuff that has been admitted on there. Although I do think it is a good idea for people to be able to tell their secrets anonymously to get it off their chest and hopefully move on in life. For some though it was sad as they said they would take the secret to the grave with them and never share it with anyone.

I am sure that everyone has secrets of some sort filtered throughout their colourful lives, many would not admit to it. I must admit that I definitely have a secret or two that I would not dare tell anyone, apart from my husband. I think it is important that some things are not mentioned or told to too many people.

Closed doors and secrets...hmm...

Josef Fritzl

This news story has been rather shocking for me, what Father would do that to their child? It never ceases to amaze me the type of things people do. I also think that Josef Fritzl is scary looking and I disagree with the quote, I can believe he would do such horrible things, he looks scary and seedy enough. The poor girl and all her incestual children. What will become of them now? At least the horror is over. Now that it is over they will struggle to know and find what normal is because it was normal for them to be locked in a cellar with no sunlight and who knows what else.

I wonder what went through his head...

Donnie Darko - Mad World

Whilst listening to Mad World from the movie Donnie Darko I am reminded of the fascinating filming from Donnie Darko. It is an interestingly odd movie that I felt drawn to and also frightened by. The strange, odd characters that appear in almost normal situations throughout the movie and yet the movie isn't normal at all. I felt intrigued by Donnie Darko, who like the name suggests is a dark, twisted and confused individual who doesn't know really what is going on and yet at the same time he does. I was also confused by this movie, time seems to go on and on in a circle that doesn't end. Yet it does end. Frank the Rabbit is of course the scariest character of all, he is real, yet he isn't. Frank the Rabbit wears a strange and scary Rabbit suit that looks like the Rabbit from hell. He visits Donnie, tells him things from the future, teaches him about time travel and tells him to do crazy things that often result in consequences.

I think the song Mad World, best describes the movie, Donnie just seems to be going nowhere and in the end he ends up nowhere. At the end its like the future never happened and he is now free.

I didn't particularly like the movie, but at the same time I was drawn into the story. It reminds me of Alice in Wonderland a little bit. There is a rabbit, weird things happen and time goes strange. Maybe its a teenage version of Alice in Wonderland.

I think my favourite character was Roberta Sparrow, the little old lady that stands in the road every day, all day waiting for the letter that never comes. She is in some ways the heart of the story, as she wrote the book that Donnie is reading about time travel. She seems interesting in a strange way also. I can relate to her though, sometimes I feel as I am constantly waiting for my letter to come and it never does.

Anomalous words

In my own little world of confused randomness I begin to type a long sentence of interesting words. I like how words form imaginations of pictures and provocation. I have not long thought of myself as this person who blogs. But for some reason I have now come to be a writer of webbingness. I now wave in all directions for those that can't quite see me. I am here, I am now and I am me. I enjoy creating odd sentences and interesting wordings for myself to enjoy the flavour of. I hope to express my ideas, thoughts and odd ramblings throughout.

The cold world is here now, its fresh and invigorating, along with dark and depressing. It welcomes the dark, damp air into its refreshing chamber of secrets. Not long now and there will be fresh sprinkling of snow on the mountain above. It's too cold to think sometimes and too cold to live a life outdoors in the freshness of air.

Of course this child is meant to be doing something else, something more constructive like studying. At this stage it is easy to be distracted and to think of interesting ways of wording normal sentences.

Enough rambling for one day. Onto the next invigorating and cold day!
