I don't approve of the Byron but points for Neil Gaiman!
You know, Nosferatu scares me. Particularly the part where she looks out the window and he's just standing there, staring. Or when he comes up the stairs and you see his shadow *shudder*
And Apocalyptica is pretty sweet ^_^ Welcome!

Iron Maiden and Apocalyptica. I like you.
Also Nosferatu is pretty creepy, are you into old movies or just old horror flicks?

That part gets me as well. The first time I saw the casket open up on the ship and Nosferatu raise up slowly, I nearly jumped off the couch. *smiles*

Oh I love old movies, old romance movies, old horror movies, ect. I don't have too many modern day movie favorites.

There were SOME good films made after the 90s, they are simply few and far between.

Is she also part of the Twilight Moms group? That would make a better case against her.

I have gone through great pains to make sure she never reads Twilight. Its something right up her alley. All she reads is fucking Byron and romance novels. I lent her Night by Elie Wiesel years ago and still haven't gotten it back, she never finished.

Haha. My mom owns romance novels, but I have only seen her read things such as Dean Koontz and the book "Angela's Ashes." Since I am no longer living at home, I do not know what she typically reads, but I am fortunate that I have never seen her touch one of the romance novels lying around. The soap operas she chooses are horrid enough.

Lord Byron is brilliant. A bit melodramatic, perhaps, but brilliant.

Proof of Lord Byron's superiority in romantic expression:
And Thou Art Dead, As Young and Fair
And thou art dead, as young and fair
As aught of mortal birth;
And form so soft, and charms so rare,
Too soon return'd to Earth!
Though Earth receiv'd them in her bed,
And o'er the spot the crowd may tread
In carelessness or mirth,
There is an eye which could not brook
A moment on that grave to look.
I will not ask where thou liest low,
Nor gaze upon the spot;
There flowers or weeds at will may grow,
So I behold them not:
It is enough for me to prove
That what I lov'd, and long must love,
Like common earth can rot;
To me there needs no stone to tell,
'T is Nothing that I lov'd so well.
Yet did I love thee to the last
As fervently as thou,
Who didst not change through all the past,
And canst not alter now.
The love where Death has set his seal,
Nor age can chill, nor rival steal,
Nor falsehood disavow:
And, what were worse, thou canst not see
Or wrong, or change, or fault in me.
The better days of life were ours;
The worst can be but mine:
The sun that cheers, the storm that lowers,
Shall never more be thine.
The silence of that dreamless sleep
I envy now too much to weep;
Nor need I to repine
That all those charms have pass'd away,
I might have watch'd through long decay.
The flower in ripen'd bloom unmatch'd
Must fall the earliest prey;
Though by no hand untimely snatch'd,
The leaves must drop away:
And yet it were a greater grief
To watch it withering, leaf by leaf,
Than see it pluck'd to-day;
Since earthly eye but ill can bear
To trace the change to foul from fair.
I know not if I could have borne
To see thy beauties fade;
The night that follow'd such a morn
Had worn a deeper shade:
Thy day without a cloud hath pass'd,
And thou wert lovely to the last,
Extinguish'd, not decay'd;
As stars that shoot along the sky
Shine brightest as they fall from high.
As once I wept, if I could weep,
My tears might well be shed,
To think I was not near to keep
One vigil o'er thy bed;
To gaze, how fondly! on thy face,
To fold thee in a faint embrace,
Uphold thy drooping head;
And show that love, however vain,
Nor thou nor I can feel again.
Yet how much less it were to gain,
Though thou hast left me free,
The loveliest things that still remain,
Than thus remember thee!
The all of thine that cannot die
Through dark and dread Eternity
Returns again to me,
And more thy buried love endears
Than aught except its living years.
-Lord Byron, 1812

I suspect that even people who don't like Byron's work would be riveted by a good biography. There's a reason the man was a perverted fuck-up, and shit, it's entertaining.

Thank-you. I've worked on cars, trucks, semis, dump trucks, loaders and all sorts of heavy machinery ever since I was a child. I think I do like it here ^-^.
