This article is all the thoughts and opinions I didn't know I had.

As the child of an abusive monster who was 100% married to my mother and never cheated on her, eat your own words and STFU.

I once google image searched something totally innocuous (I think it was South American forest or something) and an image of a dead child on the forest floor came up. Really graphic, really terrible.

Yeah!? Maybe!

I'm a woman and I like all the chapters. >_>

This post articulates beautifully so many things I've been feeling.

Oh great, now I'm glad my cat only violates my socks while meowing really low to get our attention.

I too was conceived (but not born) our of wedlock and my parents were recently divorced. I'm sure my mom was worried that it was something people were saying about me, but you and I know better.

I admit that sounded like a really weird come on.

D: now I'm an attractive nuisance.

No man, you just always knew you were irresistible.

Hah, flattery will get you everywhere. ;p

I don't know. We had to do an assignment when I was in sixth grade where we came up with positive adjectives to describe ourselves for every letter in our name and then hang the lists from the ceiling for parent-teacher night.

It reminds me of that episode of CSI when one of the investigators was looking at his date's skin cells under a microscope and asking his colleagues to offer their thoughts. "I might mix my genes with this person" or something.

I can't imagine deliberately creating human beings only to rob them of any kind of family. Having dedicated parental figures is so crucial to children, even if they aren't your biological parents.

Agreed. Not so sure why this is so hard to understand. Not all fiction has to be escapist. It can be difficult and dirty, too.

If I were a less honest person, I'd be making another account to give you more stars.

Yeah, in fairness it does vary from person to person.

*Shrugs* pretty sure the first movie didn't have a fight scene in the alien ship. I mean, I take your point, I do—but it does end where the original begins.

I wouldn't call The Thing a pseudo remake—it was a full-on prequel. It ends where the older movie begins.
