Voyeurism: It's not just for perverts anymore!
2002-11-01 15:38:58
I just finished watching 'Rear Window' and I think it's one of the neatest movies that I've seen in quite a while....especially one that involves murder, suicide, and voyeurism together so well. Alfred Hitchcock is such a genius! {cue the big, starry, adoring anime eyes} I don't know, but it's so interesting that even without lots 'o' money being spent on CGI or big names...(although Jimmy Stewart IS one of my favorite actors)....that it was was the most interesting and suspenseful movies I've ever watched. Ok....now, I'm definately not going to become the next Siscal and Ebert....only don't you think that it would be nice if I were sitting in (sexy miniskirt and all) at the movies instead of a fat, over-dressed man who looks like he sleeps in his clothes? Well, I suppose we all have our fetishes but still! >_<{hlglech!}
Anyway, I am suggesting to all of you, bring out the voyeur in you! Look at the people around you; people-watch at the mall....it's really very interesting to watch everyone interact. The kindness I see contradicts a lot of the steriotypes that are on TV. People are nice. People can love. The reality I see around me is so much more beautiful than the one I watch occasionally. The color of the sky in the morning, the smell of the air, even the way my body moves as it wakes up in the morning; all of this is so ordinary that I often don't notice it. But some of the time, I stop and just let things BE around me. I stop thinking frantically about what I need to do, and breathe and feel all the parts of me working in harmony (or disharmony or whatever). But i still feel alive...and I think that's the big problem that I have...It's not that i CAN'T "go." I think that the problem is STOPPING and letting the world roll around me, like the home that it is. Ok, enough for now.

It's Halloween Time!
2002-10-31 14:17:49
Candy! Candycandycandy! (Don't even start with me if you're a DDR fan). I am so dressed up this year because I have, since last year, overcome my self-conscious and annoying personality trait and am in full Halloween Costume Extrodinarre! I found some neat bat wings and I'm going for the Shadow Lady effect (I think I already wrote that last time, but oh well!)
So now there's the dilemma of what I'm gonna do with my new-found freakishness. I could crash a party....but there's only old people living in the neighborhood.....I could make my own party....but people complained last year about the dancing around naked part.....No, just kidding, of course. >_<
But I love candy, so I think I just might subject myself to the whole "walking around town and scoring free candy from people I don't know" thing. I'm sorta afraid of getting turned away by the whole "you're too old" people and then they sneer at me all angrily. But then again, I can go with my little brother as a "chaparone" and get free candy with him! This is brilliant! Play off of people's soft spots for cute, small children and get their candy! I'll rule the world! MuAHAHAHAHA! (sinister evil laugh). I guess that's just the way mass manipulation works {shrug.}
Anyway, Happy Halloween! Hope you have a less-sucky one than I. -
Shauna is insane!

O_O
I am going crazy! Halloween is coming up! I am so excited....of course, I am not going to any halloween parties because I am such a loser....Well, if anyone has any idea where Santa Rosa, California is, maybe they could tell me where there might be a party that I could enjoy myself at that doesn't include tipping cows. And no, to anyone who doesn't live in Ca, it isn't surfer paradise...{blargh!} Actually, it reminds me more of anywhere else, the weather is ok, but it gets pretty cold and wet here. You want tropical try Hawaii! Ok, not being hostile there...{breathe breathe}
I got this ++cool outfit for Halloween...think Shadow Lady in bat costume...if you don't know who Shadow Lady is, think black all over, black miniskirt, black stockings, black shiney boots, black shirt with bell-sleeves, and of course, bat wings! {so excited!}
Anyhow, nice to see that I can still write, guess that I am not that insane anymore...darn, no purple polyurithane straitjacket....ok, you can back away, Plastik. Leave it to me to befriend a guy who makes his own clothes (straitjacket included).
Hi to Gemma! I hope that the storm doesn't convert trees into assassins as well as cars have been converted by crazy californians!
Au Revoir for now! - I'm officially 18! =^_~= 2002-10-25 16:01:56 I actually turned 18 on the 16th of Oct, but I had a funeral to attend. It sorta sucked but then hey! Afterwards there was a gathering with, like, a million different kinds of food....and that's yummy...food that I will never in my life be able to afford is free when someone dies...now why is that? Oh well, I ended up having a nice little party on Saturday and I got lots of books (which is one of the reason I decided to write that last entry on books I like). I got one manga book, but i ended up exchaning it for a Love Hina manga instead because my sister already had the first one. I forgot to mention Orsen Scott Card in my previous book list, but he's awesome in case anyone would like a good, long read....(Enchantment is one of his best ^_^). So anyway, I guess that's all for now...except that day when someone made me cry because they were being all confusing about their opinion of manga. My aunt was sitting there saying in this feathery voice that all manga was porn and that it was all right for that to be true. I wanted to scream that it wasn't but she wouldn't listen....Nakedness isn't porn...not unless it were sexually drawn nakedness....I don't understand her problem. Small children should probably not look at it but then again, they'd probably would be bored by sexual stuff...usually there has to be a plot that's action packed or something. I just don't understand....It isn't going to keep me from doing what I like to do though...and it's definately not turning me away from anime or manga. I like what I like...that's just the way it is. Maybe some people aren't into nudity or think it's a terrible thing, but I think that consenting nudity is wonderful (ie nudity that isn't forced upon the person or for making money. A naked body shouldn't be so unique. People need to be comfortable with themselves. Nudity shouldn't be the thing we hold back from others. Letting them look is part of our power. Letting them touch, however, is a whole other ball of wax.
