I Hate missionairies.
I greatly disliked my snobby classmates who were always putting me down.
I hated my senior prom.
I still hate my period.
I LOVE the the 1976 movie Carrie, starring Sissy Spacek.

Carrie has got to be my favorite horror movie. It really rides with how I felt during my days of public school. things actually got better in high school, though not very much, and I was almost completely ostracized in elementry and middle school.
All those school shows that show kids hanging out, going places, having parties... I hate those. 'Specially the romance ones. I have still yet to be kissed.
So I really understand Carrie. Of course, my resentment of the repressive conservative christian tradition does play out with my love of this movie.
It's not that I support killing all your classmates with the power ofone's mind... I just understand the things that cause kids to snap like that.

Columbine was scary, I remember that. Kids like me were going out and blindly shooting at their peers.
Kids who wern't accepted, wern't allowed to join in, who were teased and put down. It really is scary to think about it.
I think Carrie was the story of Columbine before Columbine happened.
With telekinesis and a bucket of pigs blood, of course.

Carrie's mom really, really struck a corde with me. Not that my folks were like that, but my folks have been treated badly when I was young. we seperated from churches all together some years back. Christian churches far before then.
Of course my grandpa, the venerable Rev. Ervin, says that churches are about community more than anything else, and this whole "church shopping" thing really takes away from the true meaning of being part of a parish.
Not that I dislike my grandpa (here we get to the sticky part people don't usually get about me), or his vocation. I respectmy grandpa, and he is a wonderful rev, which I know because people still say that they miss having him as a rev, and even still have him do weddings. He's an old shriner too. Yeah, those old guys with the funny fezs.
It's not the religion, it's not christians, it's the idea that some christians hold that you are not a worthwhile person unless you've washed your sins in the blood of Jesus. (Carrie reference once again)

I actually talked to this Christ's Ambassador (aka, junior missionary), She and I had met at a genocide awareness program and started talking. She actually tried to convert me by saying that an impure person canno stand before a pure and perfect god because the pure and impure do not mix, and the only way for god to overlook ourimperfections is for us to be covered in christ's blood because it masks our faults.
I'm sorry, but I remain unconvinced.
Atleast that sort of explains why a lot of christians make such good horror writers. You want the bloody, disgusting, immoral, frightening and just plain wrong, look in the bible.
Sheesh.

Wow, I could go on and on (and I have) about why Carrie is my favorite movie, but I doubt you need any more. I'll just say this then. It's pretty funny, it's incredibly beautiful, it has a young John Travolta, and all girls have a Carrie hiding inside of them.
