Serena's Ten Commandments of Social Media Etiquette While In A Relationship

I'm writing an article for work and decided to come up with 10 sins we have all committed at least one time or another that need to stop now.

Social Media is good if you know how to use it, but if you abuse it, you run the risk of ruining relationships.

Take a look and let me know some of your own personal commandments:

1. Thou shall not Interrogate Their Significant Others About Tweets That Have Nothing To Do With Them.

2. Thou Shall Not Check In Their Significant Other On Facebook Without Their Permission.

3. Thou Shall Not Harass Thy Significant's Ex On Any Social Media Platform.

4. Thou Shall Not Get Mad At Their Significant Other For Anything They Have Written On Their Timeline Before You Started Dating Them.

5. Thou Shall Not Post Personal Fights On Facebook or Twitter To Gain Sympathy.

6. Thou Shall Not Tag Their Significant Other In Pictures That They Have No Knowledge Of Being In. (e.g. naked, drunk or sleeping photos)

7. Thou Shall Not Get Upset If Their Significant Other's New Profile Pic Doesn't Include Them In It.

8. Thou Shall Not Get Their Friends To Follow Their Significant Other Simply To Spy On Them.

9. Thou Shall Not Publicly Post Sexual Messages On Wall Posts and Tweets.

10. Thou Shall Not Use Facebook To Measure The Success Of Their Relationship Based On statuses, photos and mentions.

My Ultimate Bucket List

Every now and then, I think about the things I really want to do. I never really say them outloud anymore because I never like saying things I never actually accomplish. I have accomplished some things that I have already crossed off my bucket list like: inspiring a writer, writing a full-fledged screenplay, winning a drinking contest with Michael Rooker and touching all the priceless 'Do Not Touch' items at the Tim Burton Exhibit without getting caught or arrested. (Touching the Penguin's cradle from Batman Returns was the biggest rush for me)

But here are some things I would like to have on my bucket list as well. Comment back with some of the things on your bucket list too if you want!

Be warned: Some of the things on this list are just plain ridiculous.

- Visiting Florence, Italy
-Finishing my screenplay 'Unlucky' and bring it to life
-writing a play and having it play at the Centaur Theatre in Old Montreal
-Solving one of the Zodiac's ciphers
-Take a picture with a Grolar Bear (Grizzly Bear/Polar Hybrid)
-Stand at the top of Mount Logan and shout out every negative thing that has affected me and let it go.
-I want to restore my father's unreleased tapes (that really showcase his talents as a singer) and make it go viral.
-Sit on Jason Momoa's face.
-Make a bunch of vanilla pudding, put it in an empty handsoap bottle and eat it in public.

Movies That Were Ruined For Me Due To Horrible Movie Dates

Have you ever avoided watching a movie you saw in theaters just because it reminded you a horrible date you had with someone when you saw it the first time?

Here are a few movies that are tainted for me because of those horrible dates: (in chronological order)

IMPOSTOR (2001)

After a bad breakup, my friends had decided to set me up with one of their friends. He was a couple of years older and when I met him, I was surprised how great looking he was. However, 20 minutes into the movie, he got up, went to the washroom and NEVER CAME BACK. I can't remember the f*cker's name, but every time the movie is on TV, I quickly change the channel.

JEEPERS CREEPERS 2 (2003)

In 2003, I was dating a very flamboyant guy on and off for about two years. He had suggested he wanted to see Jeepers Creepers 2 and since I loved the first one, I was on board. While we were watching the movie, we had decided to make out for a bit. That's when someone sitting behind us bashed our foreheads together. It was my older, intimidating, Irish cousin. He was on a date with his girlfriend as well. "Knock it off!" He said. He then added, "Serena, why are you dating a gay guy for?" My then boyfriend was not impressed and gave me the silent treatment for the rest of the night. Awkward. Oh and my cousin actually was right about him.

SAW 2 (2005)

I was really excited to see SAW 2 not only because I dug the first one, but because I also wanted to see my friend THE ARROW in the film. This guy I was crushing on at the time decided to take me to see it and it was great--until I had to go pee 10 minutes into the film. I didn't want to leave though because I knew The Arrow's part was small and wanted to catch it. So I waited and waited and waited. By the time he actually showed up onscreen, I felt like I was going to burst. I was practically trying my best not to hold myself. My date went to kiss me near the end of the film and what was supposed to be romantic ended up being humiliating after blurting out "Omg, I think I'm going to piss myself!" I ignored his kiss, ran to the washroom and the guy drove me home afterward and I never heard from him again. Double Awkward.

FUNNY GAMES (2008)

I was dating this guy in 2008 who I was completely smitten with due to superficial reasons. He sounded like a Trailer Park Boy but was easily the best sex of my life--so I tried to force myself to see him as a boyfriend rather than the sex toy he truly was. I took him to see the FUNNY GAMES remake and after the movie was done he told me that "this" wasn't going to work since he thought it was a tad perverted for viewing that movie as a form of entertainment." My libido was crushed. ;)

TRICK R TREAT (2009)

During 2009, I was seeing a guy that was nice---so nice that he was killing me with kindness. He also was a white guy hipster that wanted me to embrace my "afrocentric" side by froing out my hair and wearing sundresses. Everytime I denied this request, he suggested I was "white-washed." So during the summer, I had tried everything to break up with him. But he would always come back around and since I had very little experience dumping guys, I would somehow ending up making up with when I tried breaking up with him. So it got to the point where I just blurted that I wanted to break up. He seemed like he understood. The next day I went to cover a film festival in Toronto that was playing Trick R Treat. While I was sitting down, my fresh ex sat beside me, acted like nothing happened and put his arm around me. When I pushed his arm away, he shouted "WTF is wrong with you?" during the premiere. It was humiliating and I then had to break up with him AGAIN with hundreds of people watching.

THE ROAD (2009)

After taking months off from the dating scene after my very humiliating and public breakup from the last guy, I ended up seeing an actor who lived in my neighborhood. He was courteous, sexy and shared the same tastes in film as I did. There was nothing about him that turned me off---until we saw THE ROAD together. Near the end of the film, he started to cry. Now I understand letting out a few tears because the ending is really sad, however he was borderline bawling--wiping his snot and tears. It was….weird. After the movie, he looked at me and said, "You didn't find that movie sad?" I looked at him and said, "Yes, just not THAT sad." He then told me, "Well, if you were a guy, you would understand." I then told him that he should have looked in a mirror when he said that. Needless to say, it didn't work out. ;)

I'm happy to say that in 3 years, I haven't experienced anything awkward on movie dates since! So what are some of your horrible movie dates?

Movie Quotes That Have Inspired My Actions And Life Decisions

10. This girl tonight. She's a handful, you know? Women who look a certain way, they... they need to be managed. It's true. Your dad ducked out on you, huh? Your mom, she didn't exactly say, but there's a kind of... neglect. Gives off a scent. You don't mind my saying, you got a lot on your shoulders for a kid. The two of you, alone. And your girl... Amy. She's ripe. I bet there's a line of guys dying to pluck that. Your mom, too. You don't see it. Maybe you do, but she's putting it out. It's on you to look after them. You up for that, guy? –FRIGHT NIGHT (2011)

This quote from Fright Night resonates with me for two different reasons: One being that it reminded me how I’m a huge nostalgia nut! Hearing Colin Farrell say this quote literally gave me goosebumps, because he had effectively done the character of Jerry Dandridge justice and considering how the original Fright Night is my favorite horror film, it was amazing to be able to feel like I was traveling back in time to when a simpler time in my life.

The second reason why this quote resonates with me is that it verified to me how bad boys can smell daddy issues from a mile away. Women may not know it, but certain men can sense your vulnerabilities and use it to their advantage. I used to be this girl and never understood why I was such a magnet for negative attention.

9. "I just prefer dating black men. It's not a prejudice, it's a preference."
"Yes, it's your preference to be prejudice." –SOMETHING NEW

Being biracial, I have always been taught to love anyone I choose. Unfortunately, I had experienced times where my affections were not received because I was half-black. Even the men I had loved deeply in my life were not as open about their prejudices right off the bat. Although few of them would ever admit it to this very day, it was obvious to me that although it was fine to sleep with a biracial girl, it wasn’t in their best interests to introduce a biracial girl to their friends or family members as their girlfriend. So after watching this movie, I had realized that a lot of people hide their prejudices by simply saying “He or she is not my “type.” It made me realize that anyone who is prejudice is not even worthy of shedding a tear for.

8.

“A lot of bad shit is gonna happen to you. People are not gonna love you back, and if you're serious about becoming an artist, that's the first thing you should learn. And, listen, you're gonna die, okay? Relatively soon, okay? So, that being said, you have nothing to worry about.”-THE HOTTEST STATE

I love Ethan Hawke for his insightful quotes and this one from the movie he first directed really hit me. For a long time, I was always concerned with frivolous shit. If someone broke my heart, my world came crashing down. I would always wonder why me? Why can’t he love me? After years of growing up, I have learned that it’s okay not to be loved by someone you love. It’s okay to be rejected and to accept it in your life because constantly obsessing and worrying about people who simply don’t give a damn about you is pointless. Life is way too short to be worried about things that simply don’t matter in the grand scheme of things.

7.

“writer Cyril Connolly said: Better to write for yourself and have no public, than to write for the public and have no self.” Criminal Minds

Okay…so this one is not from a movie…but rather it’s from a horrible and glamorized police procedural show. But after hearing this quote, I couldn’t help but write it down. For many years, I had written about horror films—and that was about it. It made me happy to have a fanbase simply because I knew a genre, but the older I got, the more I realized that there was more to life than horror films. I liked to go out, hang out with my friends and watch independent films that no horror fan would ever watch. It started to make me extremely unhappy because what was once a hobby that gave me joy was now defining me as a person and as a writer. I decided that although it was great to have an audience for a particular niche, that evolving was far more important to me in the long run. Now the stories and scripts I write on my spare time fulfill me more than ever.

6.

"Just because someone likes the same bizarro crap you do, does not make them your soulmate." 500 DAYS TO SUMMER

I find it very odd that we instantly think there’s a magnetic attraction to someone simply because they like the same obscure things we do. I had fallen victim to this a few years back. When I first moved to Toronto, I had fallen very hard for a “medium-cute” bartender/actor. He loved Serge Gainsbourg, Roy Ayers and all the soul and funk bands I liked. He was a huge movie buff and enjoyed going to the small theatres to watch indies that no one I ever knew would ever download, let alone spend money on. I instantly thought we were meant to be and then he pulled the rug from right under me. He said I wasn’t his “type” (refer back to quote number 9) and decided to see a ditzy blonde girl who was 10 years younger than him instead. So it just goes to show you that you can’t always judge hobbies and interests as a clear soulmate indicator.

5.

"Jesse: Life's hard. It's supposed to be. If we didn't suffer, we'd never learn anything. "-BEFORE SUNSET

I’ll be turning 28 next week and in these 28 years I have been through a lot. Had my heart broken more times than I would like to admit, have been in crazy life and death situations and have lost people that have meant the world to me. Sometimes I used to think there was a giant black cloud over my head (and sometimes I still do) but I realized that my life has and will always be driven by some kind of chaos. My writing only seems to flow during the most stressful times of my life and if I hadn’t gone through the things I had gone through, then I wouldn’t be who I was today. Live and let learn; that’s my motto.

4.

“Only Unfulfilled Love Can Truly Be Romantic.” –VICKY CRISTINA BARCELONA

After hearing this quote for the first time, I got misty-eyed. I believed that it was okay to have that on and off love that pops in and out of your life and at least the memory would bring the hope and romance lacking in your life.

3.

“Unrequited love is the perfect romantic construct, it allows two cowardly people to act out a fantasy of love without having to face any real consequences” THE ROMANTICS

This quote made me realize that what I had believed of the last quote was total utter bullshit. I finally understood that having someone pop in and out of your life at their own leisure was not cool, nor was it healthy. Memories are great, as long as you don’t live in the past. Otherwise, they continue to haunt you for years to come and make you chronically unsatisfied with your future romantic prospects. So what if you don’t get closure? Why do we always seek it anyway? Does that make it easier? I understand now that being a hopeless romantic is not conducive to one’s love life. It’s just self-destructive. Be thankful for the memories—plain and simple.

2.

“In my opinion the best thing you can you do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out of your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with."-JUNO

I had a horrible habit of comparing the men in my life to past lovers. However, I can’t say how incredible it feels to be loved by someone who accepts me for all my flaws. (I have plenty!) The person who is meant for you is the person who calls you on your birthday, who is proud to introduce you to their friends and family and who is not afraid of telling you how they feel. Throwing these people out of your life is crazy because as I have finally realized that life is not a movie. One can not expect to be swooped off their feet and live blissfully ever after with the perfect man. Relationships are constant work and if you find someone who is willing to work overtime, then you should always think twice about letting them go.

1.

"If You're Good At Something, you should never do it for free." THE DARK KNIGHT

When you’re a freelance writer, you know how it hard it is to get paid for your hard work. After years of writing for my friends for free, I had decided that I deserved to be paid for my work. This has definitely pissed some people off who I used to work with, but I realized that the only way I was going to get my foot in the door was to be selfish for a change. Like the Joker said,” if you’re good at something, you should never do it for free.” (Unless of course it’s sex. ;)

Is It Horrible To Identify With Mavis in 'Young Adult?'

While on a date with my boyfriend this weekend, we decided to see what all the hype was about by watching Young Adult and after the film was done, my boyfriend couldn’t believe how monstrous a person the selfish, self-involved Young Adult writer Mavis (Charlize Theron) was.

I, on the other was trying to hide the tears streaming down my face.

I like to think I wasn’t the only woman that felt like they were looking into a mirror on their ugliest day while watching Diablo Cody’s brutally honest story of being an apathetic outsider and if you think you’re awful for being able to identify with Mavis’ issues (beside the fact that she drinks Pepsi instead of milk in the morning and she pulls her hair when she’s writing) then I am here to say that you’re not the antagonist that society may paint you out to be.

Take me for example, I am a relationship blogger that values the written word and how much power it holds. The older I get, the more I realize that creativity is rewarded with solitude. In order to be the best writer you can be, you have to be able to avoid going out with your friends all the time. (Life is not a Sex And The City episode after all.) And when you have writer’s block, the last thing you want to do is go out…period. When you’re a writer and have come to the conclusion that writing is your only way to succeed in life, it can be a bitter pill to swallow when your friends, family and peers can not understand how self-involved you may appear in order to make your now numbing dreams come true.

In Young Adult, Mavis lives her own life by her own rules, which is why people in her hometown seem to envy her. However, when we live in a world that separates people who live their lives by their own rules from people who live their lives as society dictates, then things can be difficult for those who struggle to strive for a life beyond mediocrity.

The problem is that there are so many people that love the comfort of validation from others and if you think outside the box like Mavis does, then you seek the opposite. You don’t want your biggest accomplishment to be creating a family to validate your existence and you want to be more than just a number on a population sign of a sh*t hole town.

For an outsider to succeed, they must have a strong head on their shoulders in order to break away from societal expectations. However, no matter how independent and driven you are, seeking validation is embedded within ourselves, which leads a lot of outsiders to become overly nostalgic and to drink and smoke away their fears of secretly wishing they have chosen to take an easier and insignificant path in life.

Unfortunately, when you become lost in your dreams, you become emotionally stunted–all because you lived your life by questions rather than answers.

Sure, Mavis seems like an unlikable character with despicable personality traits, however she is someone I feel a lot of people can identify with and if more people could be more open about their own character flaws rather than hiding them behind their salaries, decorated homes and their abilities to reproduce, then maybe people like Mavis could be more accepted in this world.

So what are your thoughts on Mavis in Young Adult?

The Top Ten Sex Scenes That Turned Me On

I have a very interesting job that involves me writing relationship and dating columns (which I love) and looking at porn (which I don't love) for a living.

People always ask if I ever get turned on by all the porn I have to watch and although watching fisting, cake farts and squirting contests can be tantalizing for some…I much prefer watching sensuality of sex scenes in film…rather than the explicit and degrading sexual acts I have to look at for my job.

So here is a list of sex scenes from movies that have turned me on!

10. In The Cut
Forget Black Swan…this movie is the quintessential psychosexual thriller! This movie was beyond raunchy but what I loved about it was how Mark Ruffalo unleashes mousy Meg Ryan's sexuality. A woman's sexuality should never be repressed and watching their first sex scene was definitely jaw-dropping. (especially the rimjob part…:P)

9.The Sex Scene in Weeds where Nancy Bangs Zack Morris
Okay...so this one isn't a movie, but any one who was a Saved By The Bell fan knows why it deserves to be on this list.

8. Shame
Michael Fassbender showed off his acting chops and his birthday suit in many sex scenes in this year's, Shame.  One of the hottest scenes involved Fassbender seducing his very forward colleague.  Talk about mixing business with much needed pleasure. Love me some Fassbender!

7.Vicki Cristina Barcelona
Vicki Cristina Barcelona is one of the most sensual movies ever made without showing any nudity and it didn't need it.  The scenes where Javier Bardem is sensually making love to Scarlett Johansson on the kitchen floor is one of the most seductive scenes in film history.

6. Something New
Something New is a movie very few have seen but definitely need to. It's Simon Baker's most likable performance as he plays a white landscaper who falls for an African-American lawyer. (Sanaa Lathan) The scene where he comes back to her place and pins her to the wall is oh so sexy.

5. Desperado
There is a reason why Antonio Banderas became a sex symbol in mid nineties and it was all because of  the sex scene with Salma Hayek in Desperado. You can get the full effect of the scene by watching it in slow motion. El Caliente!

4. Unfaithful
I still to this day have yet to meet a woman who wasn't turned on when Oliver Martinez pins Diane Lane to the wall and gives her a quickie.  So explicit, but yet so passionate.

3.Love And Other Drugs
Jake Gyllenhaal is a hot commodity these days and seeing him naked in numerous sex scenes with Anne Hathaway in Love And Other Drugs was definitely a treat.

2. A History of Violence
Yeah….I have no boundaries. Obviously, I like watching explicit passion….even if it's rough.

1. Out of Sight
This is by far my favorite love scene and although there is no nudity, the sensuality of the scene definitely makes up for it. Being attracted to someone who you can't be with is definitely something I can relate to..so watching the chemistry and the flirting that leads up the inevitable sex scene is definitely what I would call my "favorite PG porn."

So what are some of yours? ;)

Why I Enjoyed Re-Visiting The TCM Remake

Last night, I had decided to go through my DVD collection in search of a mindless guilty pleasure and I stumbled upon the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. I had just watched Marcus Nispel’s Conan the Barbarian and was in the mood to watch another beautifully-shot feral and nihilistic remake, so I thought ‘What the hell. I’m tipsy enough for this.’ So I put it on….and was reminded of a time when I was an easy going moviegoer rather than a jaded film reviewer.

It’s funny…I remember really enjoying this film when it came out and eight years later, I had to wipe the dust off my DVD because after years of dissecting horror films and pretending to enjoy obscure Italian giallos in order to build my “cred” within the now overly pretentious horror world, I had to remind myself that sometimes it’s good to watch something mindless from time to time.

So I watched the TCM remake from a moviegoer’s point of view and I remembered why I liked it in the first place. I liked it because it conveyed how sometimes being an uptight, prudish Final Girl can actually get all of your friends killed.

According to Carol J. Clover’s Men, Women and Chainsaws, the Final Girl is more intelligent, conscientious and more morally-driven than her peers in horror films. Now although it appears that Jessica Biel’s character exhibits these qualities in the film, she really is the reason why all the characters get hacked up to bits in the first place.

Sure, on paper she seems like she is the perfect FINAL GIRL. She has an androgynous name (Erin) and an androgynous wardrobe (obligatory tight white wife beater and jeans) and exhibits male-like characteristics such as hot wiring and picking locks.

However, she also is the reason why they pull over and pick up the doomed hitchhiker that managed to shove a gun up her hoo-ha. If she was as stoned as her devoted live-in boyfriend and his pot-smoking friends on their way to the Lynyrd Skynyrd concert, then maybe she would never have made him stop in the first place due to justified sheer paranoia.

And then instead of dumping the body and alerting the authorities when they’re in a populated area, they all listen to her and drive around with the dead body in an isolated rural hick town in hopes that the law enforcement will make everything right.

She’s the one that whines. She’s the one that goes and investigates strange noises and she is the one that leads her boyfriend (the most likable character in the movie) to get his head bashed in by a mallet. Yet, she is the smart one?

In most horror films, The Final Girl is the one who you root for simply because her one-note and idiotic friends really and truly have it coming to them. However, I was really surprised to see how likable most of the characters were in this remake. Sure, they drank and smoked weed—but unlike most horror characters, their vices didn’t define who they were. They seemed far more fleshed out than any other supporting character shown in the TCM franchise, which is why it was funny to see how the buzz kill Final Girl was really responsible for each of their demises.

So what did I learn from watching the surprisingly well-aging TCM remake besides the fact that it was the unfortunate catalyst to the horror remake phenomenon? I learned that smoking pot could actually be a life-saver and hanging out with prudish friends can actually get you into some horrible shit.

No wonder this movie got ripped apart by critics everywhere.

Desperately Seeking Robert Rusler

People say a father is the catalyst to his daughter’s dating habits later in life. However, since I was an avid movie buff since I came out of the womb, the catalyst to my dating habits was my first onscreen crush—and my crush was eighties heartthrob, Robert Rusler.

My fate was sealed the day I saw Robert Rusler pull Anthony Michael Hall’s shorts down in the opening sequence of Weird Science. I was immediately hooked to his smoldering eyes; shit-eating grin and teased hair full of hairspray and VO5 hot oil on my then Betamax player. I had no idea that in sixteen years time, I would be dating guys that emulated every one of Rusler’s bad boy douche roles.

When I was seventeen, I dated a “Max from Weird Science” type. He was popular, inarticulate and bullied the geeks at our school in a way to compensate for the fact he had a small penis.

When I was nineteen, I dated an “A.J. from Vamp” type. He was an older college guy who was obsessed with “could be tranny” strippers. Sure, he didn’t get eaten, but one night he came to my house beaten up to a pulp asking me for money so he could pay off his tab at the local strip joint…on my birthday. Class act.

When I was twenty, I dated a “Ron Grady from A Nightmare on Elm Street” type. He was hot, athletic, popular and ended up leaving me for his best friend….Steve.

It wasn’t until I dated a couple of “Richard Lawson from Sometimes They Come Back” types a few years later, that I realized that I needed to re-assess my dating habits. I used to think that I just had bad luck---that I was some kind of manthrax-attracter. But all these guys had one thing in common and that was me. I was the one that needed to change. I was the one that needed to recognize I had “Robert Rusler issues.” I was the one that needed to realize I deserved more than cheesy himbos in my life.

Since then, I have been rid of the “Robert Ruslers” of my young adult past and it doesn’t hurt that much like Robert Rusler’s current career, their lives have turned to shit.

So if you find yourself attracted to the same bitches and jerk-offs, the root of the problem may not lie with your parents—but rather it probably lies within your VHS collection.

Kiss your eighties’ crushes good-bye today! You’ll thank me later.

Serena's SHOWGIRLS Drinking Game

Read my version of the ultimate Showgirls drinking game. I would recommend eating hamburgers and potato chips (Nomi’s favorite dishes) beforehand and have a bottle of aspirin ready for you. You’ll need it.

ONE SIP

When Nomi storms off
When Nomi hits something for no apparent reason
When Gina Gershon says ‘darling’
When there’s a lesbian moment
When somebody says ‘tits.’
When somebody does jazz hands

2 SIPS

When a girl mentions her nails
When Nomi is eating something unhealthy for her to prove she’s different than the other dancers
When Nomi mispronounces Versace
When somebody falls down
When somebody sniffs cocaine

3 SIPS

When you see fat lady boobs
When Nomi mentions her period
When Nomi slaps herself or slaps someone else
When Nomi is forced to ice her nipples
When James talks about his “dick.”

FINISH YOUR DRINK!!
When “Agent Cooper” blows his load
When Nomi looks like she’s convulsing
When you hear “Ceasar” sing (you’ll need it)

Enjoy!!

Serena's Rant of The Day: THE WALKING DEAD is a boring, f*cking show

This is not going to be as long as my other rants…but I thought it needed to be said since I am forced to watch this show every Sunday night. Last year, I was excited as hell when THE WALKING DEAD premiered on AMC Halloween night. The first episode gripped me and the second episode had me on the edge of my seat. However, by the third episode, I realized this show wasn’t for me. I started to understand that this show was not about zombies…but in fact it was about the cheesy character drama around the apocalypse. So I gave up on it…..

Imagine my surprise when I had my friends demanding me to watch it this season round. Their arguments were “How could you not like it? It has zombies in it.” As if I’m that much of an affected horror aficionada, that I have to like all things that involve the words MURDER, DEATH, KILL, DEAD in it.

I watched my friends buy every graphic novel and they told me how much I was missing out. I just tuned them out because the only things I’m ever really concerned with missing out on are my orgasms.

Every Sunday now, I hang out with my family and unfortunately I am now forced to watch the second season of THE CRAWLING WALKING DEAD with them. I have watched every episode so far. I watched the opening kick ass scene that led to my family giving me smug grins and then I returned the smug grin every week when we watched needless character drama of the same dumb ass characters while they were waiting for a handless Michael Rooker to pop up.

I don’t know about you but I do not enjoy waiting for an episode only to see the biggest highlight be a woman peeing on a pregnancy stick outside in the episode. (Btw..what the hell was up with that?) I do not enjoy watching a show that focuses all its creative energy on searching for a dumb ass little girl, who we all know is going to be alive. (FIND HER ALREADY and move on!) But I especially don’t like pretending to like a show just because it has f*cking zombies in it and I wish more people would speak the hell up already about what they really think of it, instead of listening to the masses.

You can admit it. The show is dry and boring and the drama is as predictable as the drama in a DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES episode. You can admit that the only reason why you endure it is for the hopes in seeing one of the character’s get eaten. I don’t care if Norman Reedus is the shit or Greg Nicotero’s special effects are out of this world. It’s a bad, f*cking show and I wish more horror fans would be more vocal of what they like and don’t like instead of feeling like they have to defend something just because it’s horror-related.
