I'm rather Shy, but Hello!

[CrazyforMovies]

Well, I'm the new kid on the block sort of speaking. Hi everyone, where else could I find myself but in the mist of movie forum. I'm a mom and live in Canada, anytime I can I will rent a film, or drag my kids with me. I probally started watching moviews a Long Long time ago, ya I'm older but I won't say how much, lets just say the eighties was a great time for me. The first movie I saw at the theatre, it was Invansion of the Bodysnacthers, with Keifer Sutherland and then it became an addiction with my friends, a way to escape from bored at home.

Hi, from me CrazyforMovies..

Welcome to MoFo :D

[CrazyforMovies]

Thanks, and I'm kinda of curious about the reputation green dot, when does that get elevated? or what is it?

Thanks, and I'm kinda of curious about the reputation green dot, when does that get elevated? or what is it?Everytime you reach the next 100-point plateau, you get another green dot. It rounds up to the next hundred, so anything in the 100s is two dots, anything in the 200s is three dots, and so on.

[Piddzilla]

[Revenant]

Hello, and welcome aboard.

I think perhaps you'll get along here quite well. Your in double figure posts so I guess you may just stick around longer then some other newbies who post a couple then disappear into the realm that is the Internet. I hope so at least, you seem like an ideal and likable individual for here in the Movie Forums.

Again, welcome.

Howdy ma'am. Welcome home to MoFoLand. Kick your feet up and enjoy the show.

[CrazyforMovies]

Hey thanks, you know I don't like the reputation thing, sounds like you gotta post a bizzillion times before you get one louzy stinking dot..geeze I got that off my chest.

[allthatglitters]

hello, I am new too. hope you stick around you seem refreshingly candid and very nice. a BMW SUV- I have a friend who has one of those, it's so much fun to sit it, we play with all the little buttons.

[CrazyforMovies]

ooh I just knew that BMW had all those buttons..I love buttons. Sadly Santa wasn't generous and my BMW went to all those rich folks, how unfair is that! [COLOR=Green]Hope Santa was better to you...

[allthatglitters]

well he was and wasn't. I got a cellphone. then I was told I have to pay for the phone (unlike my friends- my parents aren't SUPER rich) and they believe that i will be showing responsibility by paying my phone bill.

Sadly it's a part of life, all my kids wanted cellphones they were given them as gifts and I cannot afford to pay the bills from these cell phones so they learn responsibility by paying there own and I can get other things for them, such as food.

[Sir Toose]

Shy eh? (Eh.. canadian colloquialism?)

Why are you shy? Are you afraid we'll bite? I think only one or two of us actually do and we're quite proficient at controlling our rages so there is really nothing to fear.

One thing... could you re-do your avatar to show Madonna backed by the Brit flag? They have her now and that makes me happy.

[CrazyforMovies]

aahh. ..... :( the Devil has come knocking.. nope...not afraid of biters I really am shy. It comes from being Canadian, we are shy we don't speak up much .

Madonna's blood is American..I don't think she would appreciate the flag being changed you know she has money and power eh?? and could come after me. Quite frankly I have no problem with her displaying the American flag. :(

[CrazyforMovies]

BTW, Sir Toose were you a LedZepplin fan or Kiss fan..?

[Sir Toose]

BTW, Sir Toose were you a LedZepplin fan or Kiss fan..?

I am a fan of things untold
of winter's cold, of forests olde
I do so cheer for many things
for blackened hearts
for leathery wings
For I ride the razor's edge
in flight of night
in moonlight bright....

[CrazyforMovies]

umm.juding from those scriptures ... maybe....I'm thinking maybe Black Sabbath?

Yup..I was a Kiss Fan. :(

[Sir Toose]

Yup..I was a Kiss Fan. :(

Actually I am not heavily influenced by music though I do appreciate the art form. It's funny that you refer to my silly verse as 'scripture'.. that it is not I can assure you.

If you wonder how I am influenced, look to literature instead of song... Look to Dante, to Milton, to Shakespeare, to Dickens, to Blake (the one and only), look to art, to Botticelli, to Raphael, to Dore... from the sky of the Sistine Chapel to the fathomless pits of Boschs' hell...

though I am but an observer to it all...

[LordSlaytan]

Wow Toose, you're so deep. Now I really want you, because I am enormous!

[Sir Toose]

Wow Toose, you're so deep. Now I really want you, because I am enormous!

I am aware of that. I wasn't aware that one could measure the absence of space in a vacuum though...

[LordSlaytan]

I am aware of that. I wasn't aware that one could measure the absence of space in a vacuum though...

More proof of just how deep you are. To think, only a small quantity of methamphetamines to come up with an intelligent reply of such witty calculation. You moved me to tears, for I now know that I am no equal to one such as yourself and must forever hang my head in shame when measuring wits with you. Oh, how you wound me great and terrible one.

Literature was my first love and Voltaire I remember in high school..and Dante's Inferno gives me something to wonder..Botticelli, Raphael yes those are the masters..however sometimes I need a song to just reflect literature it's like a marriage of words and melody.

[CrazyforMovies]

I couldn't cry to anyone for help, but in 1979, i decided to leave home. I lived on the streets for a while with my sister. We decided that the hate our stepfather and the humalition that he was so proud of ..gave way for my sister and i to leave. To run away and run away we did, we thank God di not go to drugs or any other behavours that led to destruction. Instead we had to find our childhood, because for ten years prior to that he beat us so hard that the pain stays with me today.

It's sensless being abused, however the way I escaped was that I emersed myself into movies, Animal House, Grease, the Rose, anything to elude the suffering of my youth, it took a long time to love and to love anyone. Where I though was my guardian Angel someone who could save me from such an abusive person. My father died when I was six and my stepfather made sure or tried to rip his image from my memories he tore my fathers pictures, my father was my James Dean, he was just that attractive.

One regret is that I did not finish school, I was bright I loved school, but no one was there to give me support as childrend today are so given everything, I was glad to sleep somewhere safe, without being called names, such as whore,lesbian,pig. At ten years old I used to cringe at those words..for a long time I could not listen to those words without tink I was one. Now I ' m a mom and looking at my angels its beyond words as to why? someone can or hated me so much as a child. The lose of education is my biggest regret for everyone of my peers has luxuries because of the opportunity their parents gave them. I am admant to give my children everything I did not get. So here I grieve for my loss of great education.

I am sorry you had such a terrible childhood, it sounds like you have survived it, I am sure with a lot of pain on the way.

It looks like you are already giving your children what you didn't have and that is love, I had that from my parents, they were poor and the material things I didn't have, but I never felt deprived, good luck with your children and have a happy life, a big hug from me.

Crazy....I'm sorry to hear you've had such an abused and tough life. You should be proud of yourself for not just surviving, but for also thriving. You're blessed wih two daughters and by the sounds of it, giving them plenty of love and instilling the importance of education. Can you go back and take an equivalency exam for your diploma?

I'm curious...where was your mom when your step-dad was abusing you? And, do you keep in touch with her now?

As far as the luxuries your peers have....don't get caught up in the ...living up to the Jones' mentality. I know it's hard not to look around at what your friends may have and you don't and what they can give their kids....but no matter what you have...it's never enough. Your love and attention is more important to your kids than what money can buy. I know it sounds cliche, but it's true.

Good luck to you. :)

Hi Crazy and welcome. Stay around a while. Mofo is addicting!

[CrazyforMovies]

Aniko, thanks for your kind words. I am going to go to a College here in Canada, it's called Sheridan College. It's on a part time basis and you are required to take Gr.12 English and Math (math is the devil for me), however it tests your level and depending on the results of those exams, I get to go at the 'mature student' level. Which is good, it's a all around office Administration certificate, hopefull I can get into an offfice(yuk, I had office structure) however sometimes you can get lucky and work in a pretty nice office. So those are much goals for now. The tingling for going to College is overwhelming. It' like I'm a kid in a candy store, finnally I can be like everyone else! I love College.

You know Aniko, so many kids that have the milestones in life don't realize how lucky they are. It's even sometime so simply as going to College it must be totally fun. The course is in installments ; there are six different applicants like business writing(i love writing, I always wanted to further myself there) and all Excel, Power Point, Microsoft. It's all around 1500CDN$, it's amazing there are oportunities, NEVER give up on school, it you national key to freedom and self expression, dont you think.

You asked about my mom, yes she was there when my step-father used his immese force to hit us, she tried to be a barrier and it never worked. It's madness you have to think about the choices you make in life. Life dealt a blow to my mom losing my dad and making the ultimate mistake of mariing this guy at this point she had two more children with him. And it was the sixties ; she felt very trapped, because we came from Europe; I guess she did not have the courage to leave him with four children which I completely understand.

However I will say this that it has taught me that like you said, love , understanding is key to loving your kids. It is important. Very important, I got the courage to leave in 1979, and never looked back, some other kids could of gone the drug way. I met my husband in 1981, and waited to marry him, because I was could not believe that he liked me and I waited see what kind of guy he was. There are some amazing men out there and he is one, so I got lucky, but I waited to see, I didn't want a guy that was abusive. Kids today are much more smarter; and there is more out there ; and more people to talk to. Thanks for your very kind post Aniko.
