the poltergeist is on telly tonight, i have just persuaded my husband to watch it.

hes a real scaredy cat so ive promised ill turn it off if its too scary.

im not kidding !!!!!!!!!!.

Poltergeist is fine, I'd say it's OK for kids aged from 9 or 10 or even younger, so your husband should cope! :)

Every frightening part of The Exorcist has been shown or parodied that much that there's very little left to be frightened of in that film.

i took my niece to see "the grudge" last night.

i was holding on to her almost the entire time.

i thought it was pretty creepy, but i haven't seen many scary movies to compare it to.

I watched the Japanese one today - confusing more than scary.

You used to go to Assembly?
Wow, things have changed. I used to have to sit in the library.

I went in some assemblies- not on Friday when it was the birthdays (fake birthday cake made out of a biscuit tin and construction and tissue paper with candles on top and buns inside for birthday kids that week!), and not around any sort of of festival.

I stayed in the classroom if I didn't go in and read or played in the toy corner or with the water (didn't have religious assemblies at all in senior school so *had* to go in!), and if the school was singing a "bad" song that I liked I used to sing along :).

i thought the above article was pretty interesting.

in one of the presidential debates, a question was asked, " do you believe people are born gay".

I saw a documentary once about transgendered people and one of the stories was of a girl who thought she was 100% female until a school science experiment of looking at cheek swabs under microscope showed hers to be XY - she called the teacher over thinking she'd set the equipment up wrong and repeated the experiment and the teacher told her to speak to her doctor.

There were some songs at school that I didn't sing (in assembly) at all, and there were some I didn't sing *all* of - I'd just miss out a line or so and carry on when it got back to an "OK" bit. Unless the child would be singing that line solo it's silly to change it.

Does the whole school not celebrate Christmas and Easter for the benefit of the child?

It's nice that the school is so understanding, but drawing attention to the individual child by changing something for everyone is silly and isn't good for the kid's self-steem (especially seeing how it made a national newspaper).
Perhaps they could have given just that child the re-written line, and everyone else sing the original..

What's being done in Sudan?
by Preston in

by my question, i mean, "what has any country, any group, or any individual" really done in sudan, not strictly from an interventionist stadpoint per se.

i just don't see countries besides the us take any concern as to what's happening.

does anyone really care?

Maybe they should be the first to get up off their arses.

Except the little fact that they don't exist and governments do.

Why is no-one (exept Colin Powell I think) calling it genocide? Is it just because then they'd have to actually then get off their arses and go and defend them?!

QUIRKS; what are yours?

not everybody is quirky.

but, we all know people who are....really...really quirky.. in school you can call them nerds.

in society we can avoid them, make fun of them and laugh.. but, each of us have certain quirks.

I won't eat off a patterned plate - a border is OK, but I can't eat from an all-over pattern or one with a large design in the middle. Bowls aren't so bad.

We each have our own mugs and cups, and frequent vistors have their own. We have mugs and cups for other people stored seperately and I'd go thirsty rather than drink from one of them. If an infrequent visitor goes to make a drink and comes back with one of my mugs, I won't use it again for a really long time.

When I'm eating cereal, I'll eat normally until there are a countable number left - then I will only eat them in odd numbers - 3 or 5 at a time.

I only eat Tic-Tacs or other small sweets in odd numbers.

I have to have my bedroom door ajar.

If I wake up at, say, 17 minutes past, I have to stay in bed until 20 minutes past.
