Over Sensitive

When I was 16 or 17, I realized something important about myself. My mood is largely effected by my surroundings. Listening to music is actually a very emotional thing for me. I like or dislike music based on the way it makes me feel. I avoid high action and violent movies, they instantly put me in a bad mood. If the people surrounding me are negative, I become angry and cynical.

Recently, I have read the books: The Giver, Uglies, and Among the Hidden. These are all books that deal with extreme governments that control every aspect of their citizens lives. Also, I just checked out Lost, season one on DVD from the library. We have been watching two to three hours of Lost every night. Plus, did anyone see the new episode of Lost last night? Whoa!! I can barely wrap my head around that one. Did not see that coming. Wow.

Last night, while I slept, I was in a field with what looked like poor farmers when government planes began to drop something that I thought was acid rain on us. It stung my skin when it landed on me. Everyone was screaming and scrambling for cover. Later, I was being held by this same government and trying to secure a fake ID so I could get away. Apparently, I wasn't supposed to be there. Then all of a sudden, I was on the run, but I kept running into Sayid from Lost. This was frightening because all I knew was I needed to stay away from Sayid. Needless to say this all made for a rough night. My husband told me I yelled out Nooo!! in my sleep.

I decided this morning that I need to lay off the Lost and the books that deal with these crazy governments, no matter how much they intrigue me.

hahahaha. we LOVE Lost, but I haven't seen the last3 episodes because I've been waiting for Dallon to have time to watch them with me. BUT, I'm with you on the dreams. I always have dreams where I'm being chased! Luckily I don't yell in my sleep, well, I haven't in years at least. Sounds like 24 would be a show to puch you over the edge.

I loved the Giver. It's been years and years, but wasn't it a parody of how the world would be if Satan's plan had won?

I got lost on Lost and gave up after the first season.

My nightmare was about Jr. High kids coming into my house and they wouldn't leave. I'd shove them out the door and they'd keep coming back inside. It was creepy! Good thing I'm done Subbing Megan's class at the Jr. High. Not sure my nerves can take much more of it! LOL!

Me, again. I just started watching 24 this year. I had dilibereately not watched it all these years. I accidently started watching the 2 hour season premier and got hooked. It is addicting. I can feel the adrenalin pumping it up as the show progresses. It is so suspenseful. I am getting the adrenalin feeling just thinking about it now. I missed the last 6 minutes last week because I had too many programs recorded and the last part didn't record. I was bummed. So far the few attempts I made at watching Lost never took. It was too confusing to follow. I read The Giver in book club years ago. I really liked it and agree with Meeka. I thought that the boy in the end was like the Savior. SKW

Happy New Year
