I regularl laugh at horror movies as the brainless mass of theatergoers behind me screams in horror. I'm rarely affected by any shocking event for long periods of time, even traumatic events in my own life don't ever affect me for more than two or three days, though a residual bit of anger may be left over in my mind if some pet store other party

well...consider yoorself lucky for the whole horror/trauma thing. i swear to god i still think of the fetus when im alone or in the shower (in a totally non kinky way...ew)

what was the book about?
maybe yoo read it before yoo fell asleep and the mental pictures from the book got stuck in yoor dreams..cuz yoo have a 'vivid imagination' or something...which yoo do.

the "Was i talking in my sleep?" thinkg reminded me of "I see dead people"

PS:

PSP:
my comments are so useless...haha oh welly.

1984 is one of those books that is harrowing right down to the soul. The protagonist loses, and on top of that, he loses so thoroughly that it's almost impossible to imagine anyone who follows him doing any better. You don't find normal horror frightening because it's usually so far-fetched it's laughable.

Yeah, some horror from some weird place starts eating drunken retarded teenagers who all just happen to be having sex at the time. Yawn. It's not believable, and frankly who cares? Hell, the monster's probably doing the world a service eating up/murdering all these obviously stupid people. I figure that's why they don't bug you. Logically, you see right through them. 1984, on the other hand, is quite possible, and its implications are broad and horrifying. Perpetual totalitarianism is much more far-reaching and disturbing than something crawling out of a black lagoon. Not to mention, 1984 makes us think of unpleasant tendencies in government exhibited by the modern world, which is certainly not fun...

Well, horror movies with realistic plots still don't seem to freak me out, like "when a stranger calls". Man breaks into house, man kills almost everyone in house, protagonist is so traumatized that she's sent into fits of terror at the sight of a telephone. Audience is rooting for protagonist to survive all the way through the movie. 1984, however, you're praying that Winston dies through the last 50 pages or so. I think it's the government point that you brought up.
Ja, that's probably it. It's like a more severe version of that "Patriot act" stuff.

"detection and prosecution of non-terrorist alleged future crimes" *shudder*

I hate that book so much.
