yes i know its been a long time since i last wrote, but i've been busy. so, after my long absense i decided i am going to write about a movie i finished watching about 5 minutes ago. It was The Haunted Airman starring Robert Pattinson, and let me say, that movie was really weird. it was interesting to say the least. i mean, the story plot was a little....bland, but the acting was pretty good. **PLOT SUMMARY FOLLOWS** it starts off with the blitzreg during WWII, and these British air bombers are attacking a factory of some sorts and i guess this guy named Toby just gets hit with something and becomes paralyzed from the waist down. he then is sent to this "insane" asylum because of the, i suppose, "shell" shock of basically of what went down. he then gets use to life confinded to a wheel chair, and basically avoids a form of life, except the nurse, and goes through at least 2 packs of cigarettes through the movie. im guessing toby is afraid of spiders because they keep showing toby waking in the middle of the night and spiders are all over the place. then u find out they are only dreams, but later on when it happens again....its...not? and that doesnt really make any sense to me, but hey...im still trying to figure it out. apparently toby is in love with his aunt...they're only related by marriage. but i dont think she entirely returns these...feelings. i guess one of tobys friends at the house kills himself, toby finds the body, and i felt bad for him. to tell u the truth i felt bad for him the entire movie. i dont know, when robert pattison makes these noises of pain(?) he really sounds like hes dying and u really feel for him. anyways there are certain parts of the movie that are somewhat pretictable. for example, when toby gets attacked by spiders for real, he moves to the bathroom and finds refuge in the bathtub. well, the camera keeps cutting to the drain to the bath, so obviously a spider is going to come out of it. there were, however, some parts that i didnt see coming at all. for instance, when tobys aunt moved into the house, who would've guessed she would get together with tobys mental doctor (and i mean that in multiple ways). and tobys psychatrist (sp.?) is some crazy drug-inducing pscyo. and is trying to get toby to kill himself by leaving a shaving knife by his bed. so toby has some crazy dream of his dead friend and this little girl telling him death isnt that bad. so, there i was thinking he was going to kill himself, but wat he does takes me by surprise. he crawls to the doctors room, sees his aunt, manages to get her out by making a noise, looks like hes about to take "advantage" of her, then slits her throat. and that was the end of the movie. little confusing, but yaaaaaaa. so on a scale of 5 stars, i give it 2.5-3. and kudos for Robert Pattinson for not developing lung cancer and rockin' the wheel chair throughout this movie.

last nite was sooooooo much fun!!!!! didnt pay much attention to the football, but was watching jhordyn and iliana dance to the songs. had to play scottland the brave like 50 times but w/e. did the halftime show....coodve been better. in the words of katlyn, "unlimited immprovement." almost sprained my ankle. damn turf grass. dionna didnt run into me. YAY!! um me and micheal kept waving to each other all nite long, and the some spirit fingers, and finished off with some jazz hands and jumping, oh, and a good ol' slap on the back. divised a plan to become rich, was going to let salse on the plan but he got yelled at to get to his spot so hes a no go. jon told us he kept feeling his leg to check to see if his pants were rite, i told him to stop gropping his leg in front of us and then proceded to ask me wat gropping was. i refused to answer him. senior scotts hair was awesome....especially afterwards. had to unload at GHS. running up and down the hallways is fun. then we went to legends, where we kept making jhordyn laugh wen she was trying to eat. sat with fisher, jhordyn, dumblin, sarah, iliana, katlyn, erika, and brenton....i think. but anyways....THE TAPE WORKED!!!!!

Through a Rapist's Eyes (No Joke)

This is important information for females of ALL ages .

When this was sent to me, I was told to forward it to my lady friends, but I forwarded it to most everyone in my address book. My men friends have female friends and this information is too important to miss someone.

Please pass it along.

A group of rapists and date rapists in prison were interviewed on what they look for in a potential victim and here are some interesting facts:

1) The first t hing men look for in a potential victim is hairstyle. They are most likely to go after a woman with a ponytail, bun, braid or other hairstyle that can easily be grabbed . They are also likely to go after a woman with long hair . Women with short hair are not common targets.

2) The second thing men look for is clothing. They will look for women who's clothing is easy to remove quickly . Many of them carry scissors around specifically to cut clothing.

3) They also look for women on their cell phone, searching through their purse, or doing other activities while walking because they are off-guard and can be easily overpowered.

4) Men are most likely to attack & rape in the early morning, between 5: 00a.m. and 8:30a.m.

5) The number one place women are abducted from/attacked is grocery store parking lots. Number two: is office parking lots/garages. Number three: is public restrooms.

6) The thing about these men is that they are looking to gr ab a woman and quickly move her to another location where they don't have to worry about getting caught.

7) Only 2% said they carried weapons because rape carries a 3-5 year sentence but rape with a weapon is 15-20 years.

8) If you put up any kind of a fight at all, they get discouraged because it only takes a minute or two for them to realize that going after you isn't worth it because it will be time-consuming.

9) These men said they would NOT pick on women who have umbrellas, or other similar objects that can be used from a distance, in their hands.

Keys are NOT a deterrent because you have to get really close to the attacker to use them as a weapon. So, the idea is to convince these guys you're not worth it.

10) Several defense mechanisms he taught us are: If someone is following behind you on a street or in a garage or with you in an elevator or stairwell, look them in the face and ask them a question, like what time is it, or make general small talk: "I can't believe it is so cold out here," "we're in for a bad winter." Now, you've seen their face and could identify them in a line-up; you lose appeal as a target.

11) If someone is coming toward you, hold out your hands in front of you and yell STOP or STAY BACK ! Most of the rapists this man talked to said they'd leave a woman alone if she yelled or showed that she would not be afraid to fight back. Again, they are looking for an EASY target.

12) If you carry pepper spray (this instructor was a huge advocate of it and carries it with him wherever he goes) , yell I HAVE PEPPER SPRAY and holding it out will be a deterrent.


13) If someone grabs you , you can't beat them with strength but you can by outsmarting them If you are grabbed around the waist from behind, pinch the attacker either under the arm (between the elbow and armpit) OR in the upper inner thigh VERY VERY HARD. One woman in a class this guy taught told him she used the underarm pinch on a guy who was trying to date rape her and was so upset she broke through the skin and tore out muscle strands - the guy needed stitches.. Try pinching yourself in those places as hard as you can stand it - it hurts.

14) After the initial hit, always GO for the GROIN . I know from a particularly unfortunate experience that if you slap a guy's parts it is extremely painful. You might think that you'll anger the guy and make him want to hurt you more, but the thing these rapists told our instructor is that they want a woman who will not cause a lot of trouble. Start causing trouble and he's out of there.

15) When the guy puts his hands up to you, grab his first two fingers and bend them back as far as possible with as much pressure pushing down on them as possible . The instructor did it to me without using much pressure, and I ended up on my knees and both knuckles cracked audibly..

16) Of course the things we always hear still apply. Always be aware of your surroundings, take someone with you if you can and if you see any odd behavior, don't dismiss it, go with your instincts!!!

You may feel a little silly at the time, but you'd feel much worse if the guy really was trouble.

1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

2. Learned this from a tourist guide in New Orleans . If a robber asks for your wallet and/or purse, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM . Toss it away from you....chances are that he is more interested in your wallet and/or purse than you, and he will go for the wallet/purse. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

3. If you are ever thrown into the trunk of a car, kick out the back tail lights and stick your arm out the hole and start waving like crazy. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc., and just sit (doing their checkbook, or making a list, etc.) DON'T DO THIS! The predator will be watching you, and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, put a gun to your head, and tell you where to go. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR, LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

a. If someone is in the car with a gun to your head DO NOT DRIVE OFF, repeat: DO NOT DRIVE OFF! Instead gun the engine and speed into anything, wrecking the car. Your Air Bag will save you. If the person is in the back seat they will get the worst of it. As soon as the car crashes bail out and run. It is better than having them find your body in a remote location.

5. A few notes about getting into your car in a parking lot or parking garage:

A.) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, at the passenger side floor, and in the back seat.

B.) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most serial killers attack their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.

C.) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the mall, or work, and get a guard/policeman to walk you back out.

IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

6. ALWAYS take the elevator instead of the stairs. (Stairwells are horrible places to be alone and the perfect crime spot. This is especially true at NIGHT!)

7. If the predator has a gun and you are NOT under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times. And even then, it most likely WILL NOT be a vital organ. RUN, preferably in a zigzag pattern!

8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic: STOP! It may get you raped or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well-educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women. He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

9. Another Safety Point: Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her "Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door."

The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over.. The policeman said, "We already have a unit on the way, whatever you do, DO NOT open the door." He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it , but have had several calls by women saying that they hear baby's cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.

Please pass this on and DO NOT open the door for a crying baby ----This should be taken seriously because the Crying Baby theory was mentioned on America 's Most Wanted this past Saturday when they profiled the serial killer in Louisiana .

I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life.. A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. I was going to send this to the ladies only, but guys, if you love your mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may want to pass it onto them, as well.
