It's a habit that I got into when I was really young, and it's stuck with me since. And now, I recorded it! Yay! http://scarrednobody.tumblr.com/post/88139106538/ramblings-where-i-say-3-good-traits-and-3-bad

What are the three pieces of fiction (novel, movie, folk tale, etc.) that you dislike the most and why?
I vaguely remember a trip to Disneyland when I was 4 or 5. I had to use the bathroom really bad, but my parents wouldn't stop for us to find one. So, my young and well undeveloped brain decided to just piss in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Truth or dare?
I...I've never even heard of that. I think you may have me confused with another person.
I'm pretty sure that there's already a movie on that one. I'm not sure if you mean me, but if you want another truth: what are three things you've been wanting to buy for some time now. Truth
If you were in charge of making a movie out of a Disney Park ride, which would it be and who would direct it? I'm going to count that as movies released in 2013. It's kind of a tie (I know that's a cop out) between Frozen and Dallas Buyers Club, and both for the same reason. When I first saw Frozen in the theater, I saw it about a girl who had special needs, and how society can sometimes see (and deal with) special needs people. As someone who grew up with medical issues, I strongly identified with that. Dallas Buyers Club goes with that too, as most of the characters have AIDS. Great emotional performances and a strong story. But I guess I like them so much is because they were about characters who didn't let their dysfucrtions define them. Yes, they did become depressed but they got over it, they became more, and, pardon the pun, they let it go. They didn't keep that victim mentality. It's much more than I can say for a certain book turned movie where the lead is just playing victim the entire time... Truth or dare?

Ehh, there's probably health benefits to drinking cranberry juice, like how Amaury pointed out, but people don't enjoy the sour taste. I don't mind it too much myself, but my grandma had me drink it from an early age. (Protip: Mix cranberry juice with some pineapple juice and it's nearly the best thing ever. You can add vodka if you're old enough, but I'm fine without it). You shut your mouth. Cran-apple is a gift from the Baby Jesus Himself!
This is the only time I'm okay with that word.
Yep, one of the best. Just well directed, knowing how to play with emotions, and knew when it was the right time to cut off.
Spoiler **** totally goes down! The collosal Titan breaks the outer wall, and just when Eren (the main character) tries to kill him, he just suddenly vanishes. Political **** happens, and then the new recruits are called to help defend the outer wall that was broken into. So yeah, it gets all inspirational for a few seconds until you realize "ohh, yeah, these guys are rookies. they are totally ****ed". And it ends with Eren saving his friend, Armin from a Titan that looks like God, only to get eaten himself with his arm bitten off. And it ends with Armin screaming in horror. My brother had seen bits and pieces before hand, so he was really invested in Eren too. His face went from shock to nearly crying in like 3 seconds.
Because I'm a bastard.
He's 9-years old. The look on his face was priceless
Exactly. Kids are young, but they're not stupid, and they'll know when an adult is BSing them (or at least my kids will). While they're not adults to who you can talk to however you like, it's important to talk on their level so they feel equal.
Is Paddington Bear really that big over there? The only other time I heard of him was on a podcast when they were talking about the upcoming movie. I mean, I grew up Pooh, but that's because Disney saw profits in that silly ol' bear.
1. You can always come to me for anything. While I don't wish to be a friend to my kid, I want them to trust me enough to come to me when they need help. This can be from dealing with a bully at school, doing something that they want to do, or just aren't feeling well. Honesty and trust is a two way street in my book. 2. Be proud of what you do, and I'll be rooting for you. One thing that bugged me growing up was that my family wasn't always there for me when I was doing soemthing that wasn't sports related. And it sucked. I don't want my kids to go through that. Let it be they want to go to an anime convention or take up knitting, as long as it's something they take pride in, I'll support them. And even though I do not care for sports, if my kid wants to join a baseball team, I'lll be there in the stands cheering for them. 3. Don't allow people to ever look down on you. This one is specifically for when I have a kid that gets my bad genes and grows up with heart disease. You're different, you're special, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's okay to be upset, but dont' let it define you. You're still a person, and you can do anything. There are great people out there who've been in your position and done extraordinary things. So don't allow others to have that "poor baby" mentality about you and be proud of who you are. 4. Swearing is okay in the house. The thing about swearing is that it seems like so much fun because it's forbidden when you're a kid. If you take that "forbidden" element out of it, it means nothing. Now I can't have my kid blurt out "that ******* hit me" when we're in public, or else people will get the wrong idea. There has to be some rules about it. So as long as they're at home, and you're around people who don't mind it, swear away!
