You are a pheonix.
What legend are you?. Take the Legendary Being Quiz by Paradox
If you were to look at the inside of my home, you'd find a bunch of gruesome movie posters, movies about horror and madness, and lots of books about urban legends, witches (and various religions), serial killers, and forensics...and a bunch of other stuff people think is creepy.
You know what though, I'm not a creepy person. I'm not scary or dangerous, I'm not men to anyone who doesn't deserve it (that's right, I decide!), but all in all, I'm basically okay. I am fascinated by the way artists use fear to manipulate emotions. I look at those Night Gallery paintings almost every day. I am curiously interested in what makes someone want to kill a bunch of people they don't even know.
Yesterday I heard about the murder of someone I barely know. I am aware that I have some issues with the finality of it all...so I choose a belief system that incompasses reincarnation (no smart mouth from you, CrankyPants).
In person, knowing that someone hated another person with so much rage that they murdered that person up close, without even a gun--its just so awful. The mental process that goes on with that is horrifying. So why is it so fascinating?
