instead I got anime and "psychological" movies

don't really want to make the thread all depressing but i'm in that "not really drunk anymore and dreading the impending hangover" phase which is, well, kinda depressing.

I'm sorry, TKH. I have no idea how I'm going to handle my father dying and I'm almost 30.


I don't remember if there was any X-Files involved, but my dad has been one of those "There are statistically aliens out there" people since I can remember, and would watch whatever shows he could on them when I was very little. He was the sole parent of an only child, so he didn't remember how poo poo can get into kids' heads.

Anyway, it turns out that even as an adult, super-elongated humanoid figures freak me right the gently caress out! So I had a lot of sleepless nights where I was convinced really tall aliens were going to abduct me. Then Signs came out when I was 16 or so, and I realized tall aliens still scared the poo poo out of me. One of my friend's bathroom had windows that started about eight feet off the ground, and I often peed in the dark after everyone had gone to bed, so I could keep an eye out through those windows for tall aliens. Sometimes these thoughts were fueled by booze and weed, but not enough for me to use it as an excuse.

Bugs are pretty cool, except for fruit flies/gnats. I hate them and will gladly set traps made for them out of apple cider vinegar, dish soap, and cheap wine. Each tiny little body at the bottom of the bowl is a small victory for people who don't like gnats flying in their faces all over the world.

fyi girls if you need help identifying x files episodes it is one of my party tricks to give the name and synopsis of all x files episodes on command if someone gives me the season and ep number. imo it is the greatest party trick

What was that one where a guy dies on the toilet? Scully is all "Oh he probably pooped too hard and had a stroke, that happens all the time, nbd". It turned out it wasn't pooping at all, it was something weird after all. Surprise!

Gave me a morbid fear of pooping.

lol that was war of the coprophages as well. that episode was written by darin morgan, the same guy who wrote humbug and blood, and clyde bruckman's final repose which is one of my favourite episodes. i think bruckman won a few emmys. he also played the flukeman and the guy born with the vestigial tail who goes around shapeshifting and raping women. he's probably the weirdest guy involved in the x files

though gillian anderson is also pretty batshit mental. i would date her in a second :allears:

Oh god bug talk. gently caress bugs. I hate all insects. Especially millipedes, lady bugs, and box elder beetles.

what's your beef with ladybugs?

war of the coprophages is loving wack, dont watch it if you hate bugs. there's weird creepy robot cockroaches running around killing people, and an entemologist called bambi shows up and she and mulder flirt like crazy and scully gets jealous, then they all end up at a poo poo processing place which blows up and covers them all with poo poo. so loving gross

The red ones and the yellow ones would invade my home every fall. They were relentless and very aggressive. They would fly at you try and bit you, and hit you repeatedly.

E: not to mention the loving smell they make.

A lot like this. The box elder beetles were the companions in the invasion.

I also know lots about The X-Files, I grew up watching it religiously because my mom had a crush on Mulder. Jose Chung's "From Outer Space" will forever be the best episode, and "Home" is the scariest.

I used to love the paranormal in general, every spare bit of money I had as a kid went to books about ghosts and chupacabras and the like.

Looks like Harmonia axyridis, which is a swarming invasive beetle from Asia, but is a Coccinellid (lady beetle). They can bite, but it's rare and very mild. They tend to aggregate when looking for overwintering spots. They're attracted to south-facing white walls especially.

Also millipedes are obligate vegetarians so they are peaceful and loving animals, or so say diplopodologists.

I went to an indie craft fair for a minute this morning cos some friends of mine were selling there and I wanted to say hi. There was a girl selling nothing but fascinators. She was cute and the one she was modelling looked nice, but people were just smiling at her politely and walking by her stand.

They looked well-made, at least.
