I can't imagine not knowing as late as 7 months (once the kicks are visible *from the outside* you'd have to be in pretty deep denial to not wonder what kind of parasite you're carrying),
Noah had an OT he worked with who was always pretty overweight and when she was 8 months, she looked pretty much the same as she had before she was pregnant. I think it's totally possible. Not with me and certainly not with twins. But I knew I was pregnant before I was even 3 weeks post conception. And I had my first ultrasound before week 5.

I just read the wikipedia entry for that movie that Teppy doesn't want to see the name of. Huh. What does it say about me that my response was
"That sounds like a kind of boring premise for a horror movie. What, was the writer a 9 year old boy?"
Unable to resist, I also read the Wikipedia entry. My reaction was much the same as Jilli's.
However, I have the same reaction to movies like Saw as Teppy. It's only reasonably realistic horrors that scare and squick me.
However however, the *thought* of Saw was actually worse than the movie. (I only watched the first one.)

I want those reactions. Thanks for posting them. Seriously. It helps me feel less alone and trapped in my head with my reaction to it.
ION, crap, it's after midnight. Gotta go to bed.
Sorry, Teppy. I dislike that those kind of torture porn films are lumped into the horror genre. I like scary monsters, aliens and stuff. NOT sicko human on human freak-o shit. I can't even get a smile out of the campier aspects of it. I just get wrapped up in the "gah, humans, they suck" aspect and then spiral down.
Then I need to go hug a vampire or a werewolf.
I would like to note that
The Human Centipede
is a total misnomer. It only had six legs! It was the human termite or something.
It did have twelve limbs, but if we're going to count
that
way, centipedes only have one pair of limbs per segment. We'd need to rename it
The Human Millipede.
And then probably add a
lot
more segments.
On the down side, some tin pot dictator in some horrible little country is trying to figure out how to do it. But first they'll focus on cloning themselves.
He could combine the projects. I'm just saying! "Grovel, my minions, before the self-replicating conga line of ME!" That'd be more of a human flatworm deal though.

::snerk:: This, too, helps my brain be less horrified.

This is totally me.

Hmmm. I can't decide which vampire to hug!

I have trouble choosing between Eric Northman and Selene from Underworld.
