I don't like them. None of them scary. I think I believe in rational explanations too much to be moved. I find horror movies ect boring because of that. Always looking for something that might get me though!

Basically, all those summer camp ghost stories that make you afraid to walk back to your cabin alone in the dark, no matter how ridiculous the stories are.

I've read a lot of ghost stories ever since I was a kid - I read lots of anthologies. Mask of the Red Death by Poe was one of my favourites. I also still love August Heat by W. F. Harvey. My favourite back in the day was a story titled "Freund Heiner" - I don't think there's a translation, though.

Movies: I really loved The Others and The Devil's Backbone.

From the very many stories from various horror podcasts, one of my favourite stories is Soft White Damn from the Nosleep podcast. Mostly because Jeff Clement does such a great job at the voice acting.

Henry James' The Turn of the Screw. I remember I started reading it with very low expectations when work was slow one day, and I became instantly engrossed and increasingly creeped out and the way it ends is just... OOF. Such a mindfuck.

Just curious.

I'll answer all the questions I usually get asked because I'm bored.

I never wanted to eat meat as a kid. I hate the idea of eating animals (I'm that kid who cried when I accidentally stepped on bugs) and the texture and taste has always bothered me, and I have problems with my gut so digesting it is so exhausting I would feel gross for hours after eating it.

I got to my teenage years and realised there was nothing anyone could really do about it if I didn't want to eat it because I was very independent by that stage. Haven't had any in 14 years. I sometimes forget that there's a word for not eating meat. I don't feel like I would be able to influence anyone else not to eat it, but I do wish we'd move on from unsustainable and environmentally harmful food production as a society.

I'm not vegan. I eat eggs sometimes, but I know the chickens supplying them and they taste a lot better than store bought anyway because those ladies get a varied diet. I'm lactose intolerant so I don't drink real milk. Some poor farmer milks some almonds for me somehow.

I think peta are crazypants. No, I don't think I miss anything other than some "chicken" flavoured things... some of which turned out to not contain any chicken at all so I still get my MSG fix lol.

I'm not, but I've thought about becoming vegetarian when I can actually afford it and am living on my own. Ethical reasons in terms of how animals are treated.

I'm vegetarian because I always thought it was preferable since I didn't really have to eat animals to live. For a long time I figured I could never get used to not having meat but one day I realized I hardly ever ate it and I just stopped. I don't really like meat anyway. I miss fish sometimes but I don't really miss meat.

I'm vegetarian + milk/dairy because I didn't eat much meat before anyway, I hate seafood, and it was an easy and convenient moral decision. I don't really like the idea that an animal died so I could eat it, so I did something about that.

"But but you eat eggs and milk!" someone will cry, and I will say yeah, sure, but one chicken by itself produces like 1000+ eggs in its lifetime, and one chicken by itself produces exactly one meat chicken in its lifetime, so it's not really comparable at all. Then just extend that rationale to other animal products that aren't meat.

I like meat, but I never buy and prepare it myself any more because all of it is somehow destroying the environment to larger or smaller extent. Also, the ethical questions of industry farming and animal-friendly meat is not available to me. Also, it makes all of us fat and cancerous and whatnot.

I don't consider myself a vegetarian and certainly not a vegan, but I try to eat as little meat as possible because that's better for all parties involved.

I’m vegetarian. My parents were old former-farmer hippies who ate (organic free range back when it was hard to find) meat only rarely. I never much liked the texture of red meat, and when I was ten or so my dad brought home some baby chicks to raise into laying hens.

Thanks to my upbringing, at ten I already knew factory farming was awful (and I used to gross my friends out at cookouts by describing what exactly went into hotdogs) but it got really difficult to justify eating chickens when I had some who’d follow me around, peeping and squawking and hoping for treats and skritches.

I stopped eating chicken, followed shortly by beef, which I’d never much liked and also I had dim memories of feeding my parents’ cows ears of corn as a toddler. Then I stopped eating fish, bacon (I’d never had any other kind of pork) and meat in general. I miss bacon, crab, lobster, and smoked salmon, but not enough to kill for meat.

I'm vegetarian. I started in high school after learning about the environmental impact of the meat industry, and the horrible conditions of factory farming. My dad is a hunter/fisher and I realized, much to his disappointment, I couldn't kill animals (don't even slap flies). He told me if you eat meat, you're still killing the animal, you're just paying someone else to do it. I realized he was right.

I am not morally opposed to eating meat, to be clear. It's natural and normal. But animals need to be treated humanely and we need to take better care of our planet.

On the other hand, I was more fired up about it when I started. It's been like 12 years now, and so it's mostly just habit. If I accidentally eat something with meat, I get queasy and feel sick.

or just come hang out here ect?

FS is the only thing I do on dreamwidth.

Nope. Just here. I'm on Tumblr sometimes and on flightrising sometimes. I still have my Livejournal, but I don't ever post there.

I blog on dw but not as consistently as I used to. I've stepped away from most social media these days, it feels more and more like the social equivalent of empty calorie junk food. I'd rather invest the time in my real life.

Come nominate a movie!

no health problems, they and their loved ones will only die of old age, they'll never have money problems, they'll always find what they're looking for, happy marriage, whatever they want in life they'll get, etc.

The catch is, it can't be someone you've met before.

Who do you choose to receive this gift?
