TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

that sucks, remy. it's a horrible feeling to think you can't come home to your family, i know what that's like. the breathing thing with panic attacks really does help, and it's good to be able to figure out ways to manage them that are non-medical. for me, getting out and taking a walk really helps as well.

For me it was the slow breathing thing that helped, but it was still hard to relax enough to sleep. So, so frustrating and awful.

Shithouse, Remy.

Your troubles remind me -- I recently found out this guy who I've really disliked (fairly openly - and for several reasons)for a long time got kicked out of home when he was 18 by his super well-off parents. They, apparently, just told him they didn't want a bar of him anymore and to make his own way. It made me feel really bad :(

oh man you arachnophobes are going to love this shit

words can't express how much i love that shit.

millipedes v fuck off lizards!! yes!

i had my fingers crossed when i submitted my post.

Good morning, I am going back to sleep before I look at that youtube link bump

tom, i work for the guy that produced that show. his next project is set in a great ape rehabilitation refuge.

tell him your site moderator said to can it and make some spinoffs of walking w/ monsters. diictodon in particular deserves its own show

I finally watched the clip and I'm so glad I did not do so before I tried sleeping. EW!

note to self: do not watch that clip

On a related note, I have had a link to 2 girls, 1 cup sitting in my inbox since Thanksgiving and I still have yet to watch it. GO WILLPOWER!

Aw, you could totally handle it, deX. It's just kinda gross. It reminds me of why I basically fled from the Olaf entomology prof when he tried to get me to sign up for his class, though. Just NO.

I'm also hopelessly behind on the linkspank stuff. And it's sad, because whenever I go there I end up laughing.

so I decided to take a really awesome-sounding film class.

...I have to watch Ringu at the end of the semester. ;_;

Aw, you could totally handle it, deX. It's just kinda gross.

I think the real question is "Can Sara handle '2 girls, 1 cup'?" I'm thinking... NO.

xp: If "Ringu" is better than "The Ring" like everyone says, this will be awesome. I loved "The Ring" (mostly because it was scary without being outrageously gruesome).

clearly you have not heard of my intense fear of both those movies.

I cried.

I don't know what "2 girls, 1 cup" is but it sounds more like your kinda thing than mine, deX.

jessie, I'm afraid to see The Ring, much less Ringu. And I have basically read all the spoilers for The Ring!

I am a huge chicken.

Maybe it will be better in the context of a class?

there is no context for "2 girls, 1 cup" except 'things that you wish you hadn't seen'

Yay I still haven't seen it! Go me!

(Am I a bad person for half-hoping Sara would google 2g1c before posting and getting completely ambushed by it?)

Yes, and sadly for you I have more sense than that.

If only because I know who I'm dealing with here.

;_;

Dude, I meant that as a compliment!

I have seen all the ringu movies. the original is still the creepiest.

but none of them give me seriously bad vibes because I don't even know where I could find a VCR anymore

I have one! I use it to transfer old videotapes to DVD and traumatize people with them. Also, to tape cartoons for the kids sometimes.

back from weekend away and amazed title still lives bump

I don't know what "2 girls, 1 cup" is but it sounds more like your kinda thing than mine, deX.

TOTALLY OTM

good morning itr-ers.

i kept hearing about this 2grls 1 cup thing awhile ago, without actually seeing a description of it anywhere. then my two male flatmates asked me if i'd seen it, and insisted that i watch it, without explanation. so i did. wow. sara, it's fucking gross and awful, although it didn't make me actually gag (search youtube for viewer reactions - HILARIOUS).

i'm with jessie on 'the ring': i hate horror movies, but i perversely sat through that one. the bit where naomi watts' character finds the girl at the bottom of that well, it seemed like there was going to be a 'happy' ending... then there was the actual ending, which distressed me a great deal. i really can't stomach that shit.

now, that HI DERE, now there was a poster that could really get behind 2 girls 1 cup xpost

I have watched enough horror movies that very little really bothers me, but ringu/ring seems to be a tough one for a lot of people.

Hmmm, not much makes me actually GAG, but your description sounds alarming, Rubyredd.

I almost never watch horror movies anymore. I kind of miss them, but at the same time it's like my tolerance is super low now.

Maybe I should watch Ringu in Japanese without translation/subtitles; I would only understand a few words...

staggering girls in dirty robes whose hair completely obscures their face are, in fact, completely terrifying

You just described my daughter, Tom. I wake up to exactly that every morning!

you life won't be any more enriched for having watched 2girls 1cup. HI DERE, otoh, seems like he might quite enjoy it...

I have watched enough horror movies that very little really bothers me

see I fall in that category too, is the thing.

the way tombot puts it makes me wonder if my fear has something to do with the fact that I didn't cut my hair between age 5 and 11.

the nail going through the fingernail - that was one thing i really couldn't handle in 'the ring'.

See I don't even remember that part of "The Ring".

the part where her uncle or whoever clubs her over the back of the head and sends her tipping into the well, though, is actually more slapstick than anything

stutter motion towards dude in apartment post fake-ending - that part was pretty fucking well done.

You just described my daughter, Tom. I wake up to exactly that every morning!

I scrolled through this thread v.v. quickly and thought for a horrifying moment that this was somehow in relation to 2g1c.

actually, is the ring the only US adapt of a foreign horror film that doesn't suck?

xpost hahahahaomg bad bad dan

See, now I'm never going to look.

Probably for the best, I am enjoying life for the most part.

You are at a safer distance than John or FB, but still, it's best to err on the side of caution.
