Filmaholic! (My top five favorite movies)

So classes start tomorrow! I am so excited and amazed and how fast Summer went by. The weather is getting cooler and I can actually wear a sweater without sweating to death! I posted on my Facebook that I needed some inspiration for a blog post. I also like to do posts that others would like to see. So this is my top five favorite movies! (Oh and they are not in any particular order.)



1.  The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus







































This movie is visually stunning. I highly recommend this movie. This was Heath Ledger's final film before he died. The story is brilliant and entertaining. This is not a kid friendly movie by the way. See this before you die!





2. Beetlejuice

                                                                                                                 




This was one of my favorite movies as a child. Even though there is a few scenes with cursing in it. "Nice fucking model!" How did I not remember that quote when I was a kid?! Also Lydia fascinated me and the movie remains timeless.




3. The Cell









































Okay..I know what you are thinking. Jennifer Lopez is in this movie?! Yea..I know. But this movie inspires me artistically and is so unique compared to other movies. I stumbled upon this assuming it was going to be boring. Not true!.




4. Dead Alive (aka Brain dead)































Zombie babies, butt kicking priests, giant zombie women, death by lawn mower! So many one liners and so much gore. This is the right amount of cheesy lines and camp. Take the movie Evil Dead and combine it with more blood and way too much caffeine. I recommend this to any fan of cult classics or gory zombie movies.




5. Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas






































First of all..Johnny Depp is in this. There are so many amazing quotable lines and crazy hallucinations in this movie. I think this is one of Depp's greatest roles. If you do not like viewing drug use...then stay far away from this film. Far far far away!





So do you like any of the movies I like? Are you a big fan of cinema?

10 Random facts about me (Inspired by Sary Walrus!)

So I just viewed this post from The Walrus Room and was inspired! Yea...I agree with Sary. Not going to do 50 facts well...I am not sure if I can think of that many things. I have not been blogging that often due to me working almost everyday! And classes are starting next Monday! *insert stressed face here*


Shall we begin?

1. I love horror movies.

Not sure if you could tell by my Hellraiser purse..hmm. I have a large collection of horror themed items. I have fifty plus horror DVD's and rare VHS tapes that are horror related. I have figurines...etc. Not sure if it has to do with my love of Halloween or my love of the creepy.

2. I write poetry and draw.

My art is a mash up of anime, neo surrealism, and art nuevo. With a splash of gore and blood. I never have taken any art classes because I learn by observing not by telling. Art classes just tend to be talking in my experience. My poetry is very dark. My best writing has been when I was the most depressed. And now that I am happy, have a good job, etc. I have not made any good poetry. Hmm.

3. I am a Theistic Satanist.

Some days I feel like a part of the goth stereotype due to my religion. I have been dedicated for around five years now. But do not let this fool you. I am very accepting and eager to learn about new religions. I have a thing for rosaries. I like old religious art. Some fear my religion due to the "Satanic Panic". Some actually think I sacrifice animals. Uh nope. One of my best friends is a Southern Baptist. Strange huh?

4.  I like girls. I like boys. I like boys that dress like girls.

Sue me. I am comfortable in my own sexuality. I am not ashamed of who I am nor who I am attracted to. Enough said. Oh and I am all for LGBT pride!

5. I was adopted when I was three months old. 

I love my mother! (I am referring to the woman who adopted me.) She gave me a great home, raised me well, and gives me the best advice. And she does not care about how I dress. She always has supported me. and dealt with my angst filled  teenage years. I was a pain in the ass!

6. I defy logic and mystify doctors.

Well when I was born I was supposed to have severe brain damage. I needed a heart monitor, and I was born with fetal alcohol syndrome. I also weighed three lbs when I was born...and I was premature. Goes to show you doctors can be wrong. And you can be whatever you want..despite health problems and the like.

7. I love video games. 

Lollypop Chainsaw,Alice: Madness Returns, and Dante's Inferno are some of my favorite games. Oh and the Lego series games are really fun as well!

8. I am pessimistic.

Despite my bubbly attitude I find it ironic that I am not an optimist. *shrugs* I tend to put myself down and blame myself for simple things. I am trying not to self blame myself and it is a constant struggle to force myself to look at the positives.

9. I despise long sleeved shirts.

They feel constricting. I love sweaters and jackets but long sleeved shirts rub me the wrong way. I also do not like the look (on me) of long sleeved shirts.

10. I fear making friends in real life.

And this is not due to me being anti-social. I am very social! I fear that if I get too close to a person I will be betrayed. This is due to certain events in my life where I was betrayed. I fear losing friends even before I make friends.


Part of my bottle collection. I am not an alcoholic...trust me.

























Thank you Sary for being the inspiration for this post! Be sure to add me on tumblr and facebook if you have not already!

What's in my bag?

So I see these posts on almost every blog I follow. so because  I got a new bag I decided to show it off and do a "what's in my bag?" post as well! This week has been busy busy. Also I am going to start classes soon. Only twelve years of education left! *sighs*

I love this thing! I got it from Listia and it is OOAK and hand sewn. It has stripes on the inside and a red zipper closure.




























The glittery key chain says "I am not weird..I am gifted!" I got it forever ago and my wallet is almost falling apart!


















Various lighters, smokes and writing things. Smoking is bad. I want to quit! And I usually carry multiple lighters.






















Makeup bag and contents. Eyeliner, touch up mirror, Warm Sugar cookies perfume oil, Blistex, and oil blotter sheets.























I just got this book and i highly recommend this writer. I special ordered it from work. And I need more time to read!























College I.D. and cute Batman lanyard that I got on sale at Spencers. My picture in this is horrid!!!
