Go to your room, you're grounded.
I'm a modern mother, not a believer of physical acts of discipline, otherwise there would be some proper spanking coming to your way as well.

contemporary parenting =)

PREPARE THYSELF

i wonder what parenting was like in the dark ages

Mmmh. Preparing myself a desert with lingonberries and Whipped cream.
You boys ought to be grounded for the rest of your lives.
I'm on the move here, but you're probably familiar with Burn the witch video by Radiohead. Dear ? what $#%^ Thom got himself into.

Great pick. I haven't paid attention to Radiohead since In Rainbows came out and they let it be downloaded for free. And i did. The Eraser is amazing.
But this Witchy thingy. It truly saddens to see how much money they have put into good ol' animation. When the content is rubbish. I'm not loyal to any brand, but loyal to quality.

Off to countryside I go, with rabbits in my headlights. You behave!

Blackadder was the best. Alucard from Hellsing and Alex from a Clockwork Orange before they "fixed" him.

Let's not forget Steerpike and Rebecca Sharp

I was, as far as I can tell, selecting traits and values that attracted me. Obviously, it's something I can only explain today while looking back. During my development, both my environment and my genes were influencing me unconsciously; I had no power, no say on the matter. It was like a magnet and certain characters where clearly having an impact on me more than others. It's as if everything was already set, as if my unconscious knew what ingredients to shop for what was needed.

Many fictional characters have had an impact, to a certain extent, on who I ended up being. But the state of oneself is constantly in motion, always changing, and the one who had the biggest impact on my life arrived quite late. "Goku Black" represents me most as a whole. I can't stop myself from mentioning Martin Heidegger's Being and Time when I think of that particular character and "my future self."

"Being and Time", that would be more than I had expected reading PF. Could you elaborate on the connection? In the time it takes to read wikipedia and a little more I'll resist the temptation to respond to the other thread I was reading about mistaking love for infatuation.

I could say though that once the demand for reproduction has past, then as a woman in particular this changes the complexion. I believe that I was brainwashed by country music songs, and pop culture about 'falling in love'.

It's over rated. Why is my alarm going off...?

Oh that was the rice.

I see myself in certain characters in TV shows and some movies from time to time. I can't remember which ones from the movies though, only the TV shows.

I used to see myself a lot in the character Dexter from the TV show, Dexter, in relation to the character's thought process, but there were also some things about the character I couldn't relate to at all. For example: the moral code he lives by and his apparent social awkwardness. I'm not at all socially awkward and I'm pretty sure I don't have a moral conscience.

Another character I could see myself in to some degree is Ramsay Bolton from the TV show, A Game of Thrones. He's very cold and sadistic and I think he has a strong desire for power/control. That is something I can very much relate to.

And finally, I could relate to the character known as Dr House in the TV show, House. His general attitude is something I can relate to. I see a lot of his attitude in my own personality.

If anybody else can think of a character that reminds them of me I'd like to hear about it. It's interesting to know how others view me.

To be honest I picture you like Big Boo from Orange is the New Black. Is it accurate?
