Do you quotact your agequot?


Question


Do you quotact your agequot?
Or do you act older or younger than you are?


Answer


NO WAY! lol, actually sometimes i act older and sometimes i act younger, it really depends on what day of the week it is. It really depends on how im feeling whats going on in the world and what not. Sometimes i find myself going out of my way to do community outreach, and become aware of important issues where i work hard for the benefit of the future. However, on Friday nights i act like its my st birthday all over again and indulge too much, but on some weekends i play video games all day and relax. br Sometimes i take an active role in government and green living and sometimes i just dont want to worry about solving anyones problems but my own. So i would say.... today, No.brbra tomorrow, yes.

What is it about the fantasyhorror genre that gives it such widespread and enduring appeal?


Question


What is it about the fantasyhorror genre that gives it such widespread and enduring appeal?
During the midth century, Vlad the Impaler ruled the southern region of modern day Romania, a territory then called Wallachia. Tales of his atrocities were circulated by the German Boyars of Transylvania and became popular reading all over Europe. Even decades after his death, private press owners were guaranteed to make money reprinting these Dracula stories. When Bram Stoker resurrected the character in his novel, Dracula, he had an instant best seller. In over a hundred years, the book has never been out of print. The following century saw the birth of Tolkiens Lord of the Rings, which in numerous polls in both North America and the UK was voted the book of the century, and its author the storyteller of the century. The success of J.K. Rowlings Harry Potter and Stephenie Meyers Twilight series only confirm the popularity of the fantasyhorror genre. What is it about fantasy and horror stories that give them such widespread and enduring appeal?


Answer


We will always have a desire to escape our day to day lives and live in a world other than our own. Whether you have what seems a dull life or a stressful one, the fantasy genre transports you . It is the daydream you didnt dream up yourself. Our society is obsessed and bombarded with images of blood and gore, so the horror aspect of this genre fits in with our adrenaline junkie society.
