"Reel life"

Favorite movie is probably a tie between Phantom of the Opera (1989 version), Sala Samobojcow (Suicide Room <--English translation), Rubber, and Master of Disguise. I like them all for different reasons, though a connecting point would be that they're all a bit off of the beaten path of what's popular, except maybe Rubber. That movie is just weird to the point of being an enjoyable let down.
(This is how a phantom's face should look! Not that weak excuse from the 2004 movie...)

I'm not against any genre of movie that I've watched so far. They all have their good and bad, in my opinion.

I don't watch movies very often, but it's usually at home, in my living room, while knitting.
(Looks straight outta pinterest, no?)

When I watch a movie I like the room to be lit (I'm a strange creature, I'm well aware), to have knitting or crocheting to work on (I need to be distracted to pay attention, does that make sense?), and a pillow to hide behind for scary parts (I'm definitely a scaredy cat.)


As for the test, this is what I got:
    YOUR PERSONALITY
    Take a look at how you scored on the Big Five personality dimensions below.
    Your scores, compared with the responses of other people, suggest that you may be described as follows:

    You are introverted, reserved and serious. You prefer to be alone or with a few close friends. 

    YOU ARE 0% AGREEABLE.
    You are hard-headed, sceptical, proud and competitive. You tend to express your anger directly.

    You are down-to-earth, practical, traditional, and pretty much set in your ways. 
    WHY YOU WATCH MOVIES

    We have proposed 10 psychological uses for watching films.
    Below are your scores for each of these 10 uses, and the relevant descriptions of the ways in which you enjoy films.
    PLEASURE-SEEKING: 15%
    NOSTALGIA: 65%
    CATHARSIS: 45%
    AGGRESSION: 60%
    ESCAPISM: 25%

    ARTISTIC: 25%
    INFORMATION-SEEKING: 20%
    BOREDOM-AVOIDANCE: 65%
I feel like if a movie was made of my life, it would be a very weird movie. I'm not up to date on actresses/actors names so I can't honestly say who I'd want to play myself. Three main plot points would probably be when I found Mabinogi (mmorpg), my diabetes diagnosis, and starting school at Kickapoo. Probably would have a sad ending. I prefer those. Or one like Rubber, which makes you go "????"

  1. I love your scaredy cat! And I know just what you mean about having to be distracted to pay attention. Kind of like Maya Angelou said about occupying your "small mind" to engage your whole mind in something bigger or more important.
