is there anything (book, movie, music, smell, taste, sound) that you love that you associate with something that is unpleasant? the movie you used to watch with your best friend before she stabbed you in the back, a great band that your ex introduced you to? have you found a way to disassociate the thing you like with the person/situation you don't? do you put up with the negative feelings because you love the thing that much? or did you give up on it altogether, letting it be retired to the dustbins of your life?
I have a pretty hard time listening to the album Requiem by Bracket without thinking (too much) about my ex because of the significance it held in the relationship. I'm working on listening to it without thinking too much about that though because I really do love the album.
can you offer any good advice on ways to disassociate one from the other?

The Unabomber, the DC Sniper, and that Major at Ft Hood that killed 13 Soldiers.
Execute them all and call it a trifecta???
EDIT-O-MATIC: IF YOU ANSWERED NO. Since you're simpleminded COMPASSIONATE, would you let them live with you? Yanno. Since you'd let them live and all.

 | 09:29 pm - Birth Control Question
Hello ladies-♥
Today I went to the clinic to get HBC to help with my acne. I asked the doc., since I am due for my period in about a week, when I should start taking the pills. She said that I should take them right away and so I took my first one tonight, though I am concerned. Will taking these prolong my period until I start the "inactive" pills or will I have a period because some sources say that it takes about a month for the pills to work? The pills I am on are lo-ovral pills called "Cryselle". The package said that I should take them when I start my period. So now I'm really confused! Did I do something wrong? :C

 | 06:20 pm - Not entirely the truth
Okay fellow TQC'ers. I will try to not be long winded with this. Yesterday my wife arranged a birthday gathering for my 27 year old step daughter at our house. Inviting some friends and relatives. Well this invitation started to grow larger than I had anticipated. So I have a problem with gatherings and people drinking alcohol in our household. Being a recovering alcoholic myself, I was somewhat pissed off to say the least. So instead of being the party pooper that I usually am, I said I was going to vacate a couple of nights and go to my old rehab place for a sobriety weekend.(which can be any two nights.) But somehow I made a different choice and ended up in Lake Tahoe for two nights on just R&R. So here I am. I feel rather guilty about this. So should I tell her, or let it be, and just come home tomorrow?

 | 09:16 pm - Top 10 Cult Movies of the Decade
Exactly what qualifies as a cult classic is a point of contention to many. Urban Dictionary describes it in a variety of ways. Including the concise, “A movie that is weird as f*ck.” Oddly, that source of love and mistakes Wikipedia may have the finest definition, claiming a cult movie to be “a film that has acquired a highly devoted but specific group of fans.” Adding pointedly, “(They) have limited but very special, noted appeal.” A movie can gain success and be a cult movie, it just has to be a certain kind of picture, one that breeds ravenous individuals to view them again and again, forming instant friendships with strangers who share that passion. Basically, a cult movie is like an obscenity, you know it when you see it. In continuation of the retrospective of the decade that was in cinema, these are the Top 10 Cult Movies of the Decade, not to be confused with the most popular.

 | 09:16 pm - Carey Mulligan's in a class of her own
Just under a year ago, Carey Mulligan was sleeping quite soundly at night. Then she found out An Education was going to play at the Sundance Film Festival. The weight of shouldering her first lead suddenly hit her. "I started freaking out that if everybody hated it, it would be all my fault," she explains. "I had these anxiety dreams – very basic anxiety dreams – where Geoff Gilmore, the [former] director of Sundance put me in a car and made me leave for being disappointing. In Park City, in the main high street, he gets this black car and he's like, 'Get in. You've got to go. Everyone thought it was going to be really good!'"
Fortunately, everybody did think it was good. Better than good, as it goes. Winner of the Audience Award, An Education has since become one of the most talked-about films this year. What's more, the London-born Mulligan has become the centre of attention for her breakthrough role as Jenny, a 16-year-old schoolgirl who falls under the spell of an older man (Peter Sarsgaard) in 1960s suburban England. Already nominated for a British Independent Film Award for Best Actress, an Oscar nod is now a very real possibilit y (Ladbroke's make her second favourite at 5-1 to win Best Actress, behind Meryl Streep for Julie & Julia). No wonder Time magazine recently proclaimed, "Carey Mulligan: a star is born".

 | 06:20 pm - Eastwick canceled
The Forgotten gets more episodes, Let’s Dance scrapped
Sorry Eastwick fans, but you should’ve seen it coming.
__________________________________________________________________
via James Hibberd’s the live feed:
ABC has picked up five more episodes of Tuesday night’s “The Forgotten” while deciding against ordering additional episodes of “Eastwick.”
In addition, ABC is yanking the planned upcoming debut of reality show “Let’s Dance.”
__________________________________________________________________
With the exception of scrapping plans for the only just recently announced to begin with “Let’s Dance”, these moves aren’t a big surprise. Perhaps the move of picking up The Forgotten is surprising for some, but Jerry Bruckheimer’s show will live on for at least 5 additional episodes.

 | 09:13 pm - Two and a Half Men Teen Millionaire
Is it fair that one of Hollywood's most successful and richest young actors didn't set out to be a performer -- in fact, never took an acting class -- when there are thousands of others like him, sweating auditions, posing for head shots, tweeting their every move?
To underscore the point: Angus T. Jones, the "half" in the No. 1 comedy on TV, “Two and a Half Men,” doesn't even know if he wants to continue to hone the skill that's made him a millionaire when the 7-year-old CBS sitcom goes off the air. He's a 16-year-old high school sophomore who wants to go to college, and that's as far as his plans go.
"I don't know what I'm going to take or where I'm going to go," he said. "I'm not really sure. I don't really know if I want to do acting as a career. I really don't know what I want to do yet."
But what does he say to those legions of young actors who study, worry and undoubtedly envy him?
"I'm sorry?" Jones replied sweetly, his shoulders shrugging as his eyes melted into his signature broad grin. "It's always come naturally to me, but I don't know if I want to do this as a career."
( i can't believe he's a MILLIONAIRE )

 | 06:06 pm - AW HELL NAH! WILL SMITH TO GO FULL RETARD
Will Smith to Remake Flowers for Algernon
Two-time Academy Award nominee, Will Smith, may have found the project that will finally win him that elusive Oscar. According to our inside source, The Hollywood Cog, Smith is set to produce and star in Flowers for Algernon, a modern-day adaptation of the Daniel Keyes’ novel. The movie is being set up at Sony Pictures and Smith’s production company, Overbrook Entertainment, along with Polksy Films. Tracy Nyberg, an associate producer on Hancock and an assistant to Will Smith on I Am Legend, is also set to produce.
Flowers for Algernon has been adapted several times since it was originally published in 1959, most famously Ralph Nelson’s Charly, which won Cliff Robertson an Academy Award in 1969. The short story (and the subsequent novel) is about Charlie, a mentally retarded man who is the first human test subject for an experimental surgery that artificially increases intelligence. The experiment had already been performed successfully on Algernon, a lab mouse. Charlie’s newfound intelligence (his IQ skyrockets from 68 to 185), however, comes at the cost of his ability to socialize normally, as he becomes increasingly alienated from those around him. Emotional consequences are involved when Charlie learns the truth of the experiment.
The project seems ideal for Smith, who was nominated for an Oscar for his performances in Ali and Pursuit of Happyness. Smith will bring his populist appeal to yet another Oscar contender.
Smith has several other projects currently in development, including an American remake of Oldboy, potential sequels to Hancock and I, Robot, in addition to a prequel to I Am Legend. No word on where Flowers for Algernon will fall into Smith’s filming schedule, but I’d expect the project to be fast-tracked, once a director comes aboard. And though no director has been announced, Smith’s Happyness and Seven Pounds collaborator, Gabriele Muccino, seems a likely candidate.

Dear You:
I don't know what's happening anymore. I'm not sure what they'll say, so I wanted to be the first to tell the truth. I'm going to give it all up, and hope that you won't hate me for it.
But if you do, I will understand. I won't blame you.
I don't know where I'm going. I hope that it won't wind up bad. I'm not sure if I can come back. I know that I won't until something is done about this. Things have gotten worse and worse since the beginning (meaning the day that Leslie moved in). I was in that clinic for a while, and during that time, I'm pretty sure that things were fine. Since then resentments have grown, and fights have happened. I can't speak for Quade, but I can speak for myself.
I hated that she never cooked, she never cleaned. She did nothing that my mother did. I hate myself for being so mean, but she acted like a child and then expected me to treat her like a adult.
I had a hard time treating her like a mother figure. She never was. Not to me.
We fought tonight. My mother wanted to use the bathroom, and Leslie dragged her outside, nails and all, and slammed the door. She grabbed me, and I threw her down. She raised her fist against me. I don't know what the hell she was thinking. I don't believe that I did anything do deserve such a action against me.
I tried to hold back. I tried to be the responsible one. I lost it.
This is, this WAS my home. She came in here after my mother left. She's in my father's bed, but she does nothing that she should. She doesn't cook, she doesn't clean, she doesn't help. She comes home, eats our food, and does nothing.
Some days, she doesn't even talk to us. It's like she wishes that we were not here.
I've been quiet. I've tried to live through it. I stayed quiet, and hoped things would get better, because I wanted my dad to be happy. Isn't that what he deserves? After all the things that I've done, all the things that he's been forced to do because of me, doesn't he deserve this?
God, I'm so tired of causing everything to go wrong. Maybe it's just me. If so, I regret saying the things I've said. Everything.
I have my backpack thrown together, and while I know that they'll attempt to stop me at the very least, I'm not changing my mind. I won't do it alone, I'll find someone who'll take me in... if there is anyone so out of their mind to do so.
I thought that my dad would be able to make this right. I thought that he'd always be my protector, that he'd fix things when they went wrong.
But now I'm not so sure.
He may be too caught up in all this to fix things. What am I saying? Of course he's emotionally involved! I think that he's trying hard to ignore things that he's seen, trying to deny them and pretend everything is okay. It's not.
Either way, I can't just sit down and talk. Either way, I can't tell them the full truth. There are so many things locked inside my head that I cannot say. I've told people that I can't talk about things. That I can't. I just can't.
But when I say so, I'm accused of NOT saying them, just because I can. Because I manipulate people. Because I feed off of emotional reactions. Because I don't care about anyone else. Because I'm so bloody selfish. Everything is about me.
I DO CARE, and what's being said wounds me.
I'm not staying. I'm not dealing with this anymore. I'll be fine. I'll be safe.
I hope that someday, this could be repaired. That this could be somewhat healed, if not fully. Right now, it sure feels like the end of the world. But that's unreasonable. Of course, everything I say and do is unreasonable.
Don't know when I'll be able to write again. I will try.
Don't let my weakness break you. Please.
Always yours, Me

( You Know You Want to Enter )
Levi Johnston plans on filing for joint custody of his son, claiming the Palin family is keeping him from seeing the 10-month old tot.
The 19-year-old Alaskan told "The Insider" that he had encountered a problem over the weekend when he tried to see Tripp, his son with Sarah Palin's daughter, Bristol.
"At the end of the month I'm going to file for joint custody of Tripp," he said Monday on "The Insider." "Not working. I'm done. It's going to have to go to court. They just finally pushed me over the edge."
Johnston has said before that his ex-fiance's family has kept him from seeing his son, but perhaps the Palins were peeved at his recent remarks.

 | 10:52 pm - Trailer: 2 Turntables and a Mic,, The Life and Death of Jam Master Jay
Here’s the trailer for the Jay documentary that will come packaged with Curtis’ Before I Self Destruct CD. Or you can purchase it separately if Boo Boo isn’t your speed. I can’t believe it’s been 7 years already.
Source: Eskay@Nahright.com
Not feelin the fact Curtis is packaging this with his album. It feels like just a shot at Supreme Griffin (if everyone knows the whole Queens connect between him, 50 and JMJ). Also, how did he get Ja, Fredro and Sticky to sit down for this?
Either way, its been 7 years to the week, no one's been prosecuted, and there's 3 kids and a widow with no closure.....
