Yeah, it's different than just wearing a shirt and pants. You have to wear those in public. It's a thing you've added to your head/neck because you think it is somehow important or looks good. Knit hats in winter don't quite count in this anxiety.

I knew someone who worked in a neurology lab who had "spine breaking days" for the rats that were entering the experiment. Crack-crack-crack-crack. (spoilered for sadness)

It's necessary work but it is a major bummer. I also knew a girl who intended to smuggle a rat out as a pet after her lab's experiment was over, but the rat bit her that morning and so she didn't. Poor rat, you were so close :(.

speaking of scary, how scary are the horror story tv shows? they look interesting but if they have like rear end in a top hat surprise scares then I won't watch it

I really kind of hated the first season, it was just cheesy and bad, although Jessica Lange was great. I definitely plan on watching the second, I hear it's much better

No jump scares, to answer your question, just annoyingly poor taste

coven isnt scary at all, it's loving camp. there's a lot of sexual violence though :(

asylum i wouldnt call necessarily scary. there are about three things i remember that make me jump and i'm a wuss. the biggest horror element in seasons 1 and 2 are existential imo

murder house creeped me the hell out though, it took me two tries to get through the cold open in the pilot but after that i was cool. i'm petrified of ghosts though, and murder house is about ghosts, so that's probably why

ooh, tv. can people give me recommendations? i don't have a tv so i can't like channel surf but i can download etc. i watch glee and grey's anatomy. i generally like medical shows so i tried watching nurse jackie and hart of dixie and i didn't like either of them and hart of dixie i actually got really upset about because for the first few episodes she's this cool doctor doing cool doctor stuff and then it degenerates into p much beverley hills 90210 set in the south. very disappointing. so with this wealth of information i have provided can anyone suggest shows i might like? strong female characters are pretty important i think.

The Vicar of Dibley, AbFab and Prime Suspect spring to mind. Even though there are certainly classist elements to it, Downton Abbey actually is really good and worth a watch as well

this has nothing to do with medicine but my favourite girly show is gilmore girls :3: sometimes it can get problematic (that stupid loving housewive episode where rory wears the peach dress, urgh) but i love it. the lady who wrote and created it did another show called bunheads which owns and is about small town ballerinas, but it got cance3lled after the first season

i dont really know abiout american shows except scrubs, which is a sitcom set in a hospital, but bodies is a really good british drama. call the midwife is awesome.

also six feet under is one of the best shows ever, but it's about funeral directors not doctors :shrug:

i saw a couple episodes of downton abbey and 100% don't understand the appeal of it. oh now we are really privileged but our poo poo is falling apart and we're too dumb to do anything about it. uh okay. i'll check out the others.

yea doesn't have to be medical, glee isn't medical and i like it. i like sci fi too if that helps.

i have watched a few episodes of scrubs and they were entertaining but it didn't grab me and make me want to watch more.

i'm hesitant about gilmore girls. maybe too girly. but i'll watch an episode and see what i think.

six feet under sounds cool, i'll check that out.

Scrubs is good, but I'm not a fan of the sad generic folk music fade-outs in every other episode. Lots of shows do this, and it nearly always annoys the hell out of me
