Spellbound
Anyone like to watch Alfred Hitchcock movies??? Well, my roomie had to do an analysis of the classic "Spellbound". She had to diagnose the main character with some type of mental illness for her abnormal psychology class. It was a really interesting movie... based completely on Fraudian theory. I always thought Fraud was kind of a quack. I mean to think that people have all these poop obsessions seems a little weird to me. Anyway Dr. Anthony Edwards (aka John Valentine), was diagnosed as having Dissociative Fuedism. Basically he became someone else and then thought he killed the man he became. Interesting huh??? On a more depressing note... infact super depressing! My cousin's (13 yrs. old) best friend committed suicide. How sad is that? A 13 year old :( It is so weird. In the last 3 months 3 people I knew (though not very well) committed suicide. Is there like an epidemic of depression in our society now? This past year has been abnormally bad. I feel so bad for his family. I can't imagine having to deal with that. I send my love to them.

I've watched a few Hitchcock movies... but not that one.
It is odd that so many suicides have happened on your periphery. Maybe it is just that I go to such a smaller school that it is less likely to happen to people that I have remotely come into contact with. Anyway.
Hurray for May!
Spellbound sounds interesting. Have you ever watched the Hitchcock movie "The Lady Vanishes"? It's an earlier work of Hitchcock's, but it's really good! Funny and interesting.
That is really sad, only 13 years old...
