1. I LOVE FEAR, I know I might sound a little sadistic there, but it's true. I live to be afraid. It gives me a little rush of adrenaline. I thrive on being afraid and scarring other people. I have perfected the art of silent walking to sneak up on people when I want to. But I'm also a huge fan of horror movies, they are my favorites.
2.I'm not easily easily frightened though, it kinda sucks, but I can be a little jumpy. If there is a loud noise randomly in a quiet calm environment I'm going to jump, I love the unexpected. The only thing that TRULY scares me is the thought of losing my friends and family, without them I am nothing. There is plenty in this world that is horrific, I'm not one to deny these things but I'm defiantly one to try and ignore them. War, genocide, famine, disease, our president, all these are things horrific in this world of ours, I just try not to think about it, I'm more optimistic.
3. Well killing one's cats is DEFIANTLY up there, but I would say true madness is when someone justifies a horrible crime like murder in their own head.
4. Aside from a few diseases, the best answer I could think of would be a great loss. Losing something/someone of imense personal value.

Journal entry # 4
part 1.
b. She has trtaits people can relate too. I don't care who you bring to me they will care about their appearance in some shape way or form. And from that first paragraph there is something EVRYONE can relate to, though some more then others it's still intresting to read about someone who has become what they have become because of the vanity of their mother.
c. I think the biggest one is how vulnerable girls make themselves. They are so judgemental to themselves and their friends that often they break down and have no more self confidence left to continue. They start making rash decisions in order to feel a little bit of love, in this case, Connie decides to get into the (VERY CREEPY) guys car just for a small sense of appretiation and love she thought she could get. Another problem is often the pressure a mother might put on their daughter, to look pretty but not be fake, to get work done and all that kind of stuff.
e. I think she sleeps with him. After that its hard to know, but I think that she sleeps with him and likely finds and unfufilling and abusive relationship with him that goes on for god knows how long...
part 2
I think the most import pieces are characterization and plot. With so little space to work with in a short story you need to get a strong character and a detailed plot accross, not only to get readers intrested but to give them something to relate to. Without putting alot of detail into either of those a short story is sure to fail.
