Top 5 List - What If?

First off, this one is probably going to be kind of negative too, but I might have some really good news by the end of the weekend, so bear with me on this one, because this was another one of those posts that I needed to get out. Maybe this will be the end of them after this weekend, who knows! But on with the show. Obviously, I'm not going to my high school reunion, but more than once in my life I've played the "what if" game and most of the time, I tend to "what if I could go back to the summer before 9th grade". Why, especially since I hated school so much, would I want to go back to the time right before the worst of the torture started? Because I do believe, knowing what I know now, that's the time I could make the greatest change in my life. Obviously, I would need to remember key points, like when I got my dogs, but I do think everything else could use a rethink. #5: My step-dad might have been right (and I'll NEVER say that again)...

Top 5 List - 30 Year High School Reunion

A few of weeks ago, I got my "invitation" to my 30 year high school reunion. After 20 minutes of ruckus laughter, the letter spent a while in the bottom in my purse until I finally took it out and filed it away, sight unseen. But I'm bringing it up again now to try to "brighten" up my Top 5's. Here's hoping, right? High school SUCKED for me (see, already starting on a high note). I was weird (understatement), I was anti-social (super-understatement), I hated being there because I have severe authority issues (OK...I think you guys get it now)...it was awful. I couldn't wait to get out and I rarely look back. I didn't really keep in touch with friends and I rarely run into any ex-school mates. I just don't get the purpose of rehashing bad memories. For the purpose of this post, I should also mention that in high school, and even now, I referred to the popular people as fru-fru's. My Sister hates this term, probably because she...

Top 5 List - Ways I'm still negatively impacted by the "incident"

I bet you thought there was going to be another Supernatural top 5 in this week's list? Well, I can't promise it won't pop up once (or twice). This one isn't going to be a "happy" Top 5 like one about a horror TV show, so I apologize now...my head's not it the game right now. Maybe, if I do another one next week, it will be better. On Friday night, I had to go to Target (something I wouldn't normally do on a weekend, but I was feeling overly brave). Nothing major happened. I only had two days to prepare to go instead of my usual week or so and it was more of a whim thing. I was fine at first, but it didn't take long for me to start having freak out moments because I was unprepared. I wanted to do my "hide in the corner until I calmed down" trick, but it was so crowded, there was no place to hide. I had to just suck it up and deal. I don't "deal" very well apparently. I even think a guy working in electronics must h...

Top 5 List - The Worst Supernatural Episodes

Not all Supernatural episodes are great, some episodes just plain suck (and even the creators/writers hated them, so I'd say that confirmation they really are awful). Even I can't say that I absolutely love the show all the time and there are some storylines that have gotten on my nerves over the years (although I still hang on...it's like the Neverland part of Once Upon A Time...you just have to suck it up and wait it out because it does get better on the other side!). Ironically, three in the list are in the first season, but don't let that be a deterrent. I usually regard the first season as the scariest because it was the purist...long before the angel and demon storylines started in and then eventually took over. I really miss the "horror movie of the week" episodes that dominated the first few seasons. #5: 9:20 Bloodlines Supernatural has tried (more than once) to launch a spinoff series (I mentioned Ghostfacers last top 5). Wayward Sisters has...

Total Brit Jealously!

Seriously guys...the fact that I can't get BBC content other than after-market DVDs is bad enough, but when I opened Duran Duran's Twitter feed today, what did I see but THIS . NOT FAIR! Basically, on June 29th, starting at 9pm, it's going to be all Duran on BBC4! I'm gonna try to give a Twitter link, but since I'm not on Twitter anymore, not sure if it's gonna work. Honestly, two back-to-back documentaries that I have never seen before? Again, NOT FAIR!

Commenting issues

Oh, and guys, I'm reading your comments, but since they are not going to email like they used to (thanks Google), it's hard to reply back. I found a work around (leaving a comment on my own post and checking the "send me email responses" box), but it's a bit too little, too late. I'm hearing you guys and I know you're hearing me, it's just hard to let you know that other than posting it so! And poor Linda! You always comment on my posts and the email feature has been screwed up for you for years! Maybe, if Google gets it all straightened out, we'll all be fixed and happy! I don't want to switch to another platform and I'm not a fan of Word Press at all, but I do also own the domain for Keeblesworld, so I guess I could just build a website if worse comes to worse and stop using Blogger altogether, but I do love the Blogger community and I'd hate to leave it, so I'm just waiting to see what Google does to fix the issue. Until...

Top 5 - Supernatural Scariest Episodes

I'm STILL on the Supernatural kick and STILL not stitching, so I have to blog about something, right? A couple of you guys commented about the show being scary and that's why you don't watch it, and I get that...not everyone can handle scary. I have always loved horror. Granted, this is a network TV show, so calling it "horror" is a stretch, but people do have different definitions of scary. For me, the ONLY thing I find scary is ghosts and, it has to be really scary, but the occasional demonic possession. Most things gory are boring to me because I do work in a path lab, so gore is normal in my world, but in some cases, as Dean says, "demons I get people are crazy". When it comes to your typical monster types, since they aren't real, those also don't scare me. Ghosts, on the other hand, are real (at least I believe they are since I am sensitive to them although I'm not sure I've ever seen one, just sensed them) and anything real ...
