Re: Re: Smother

[Guest guest]

Augusten Burroughs also mentions driving up to the town dump and throwing stuff

in it~ which is right behind my house and the town now has to filter my water

supply and gave me a new well because of all that! He comes into the bookstore

where I work when he's in town.

Re: " Smother "

I thought the book was better, but the movie is really fun to watch (and the

book references the 5 college area that I live in now! my friend works at the 24

hr cumberland farms that augusten bought cigarettes at when he gave that guy his

number =P)

I always pegged her as NPD with psychotic breakthroughs, so I'll have to watch

it again with my BPD-sensors on =)

little close to home... the dogs, the misguided " charity " to random groups, the

inability to hold a job, the suspicions, the crazy moods, the " how could you " in

ridiculous contexts, the " it's all about me " , the random pains and illnesses,

etc... I really could go on.

they portrayed the son. The movie seemed to play him off as overreacting, but

maybe I'm just seeing that because I'm defensive and guilty about NC =P ah

well... it was a good way to spend 90 minuts of a Saturday afternoon.
