So y'all, when the movie finished I burst into tears for like 15 mins. Truth be told, this end of the world humanity screws itself through bio warfare/nuclear destruction/nature strikes back kind of stuff terrifies the snot out of me. The. Snot. Out. Of. Me. Also I am fascinated by it.
My question is: why do I do this to myself?
I saw The Day After when I was 13 years old and I have been terrified about living through some world changing, population killing, cataclysmic event eve since. Guess what? Still scared (but hiding it better).
Now that I have a kid these fears seem to be more attached to fearing what would happen to Nate if such an event were to occur. Call me crazy, but if/when the big whatever it is comes I think we will need more than bottled water to fix things. I know this fear is exacerbated by all of the mass tragedy around the world that has been in the news. And I have no survival skills. I know that. I would have very little to contribute to a post armageddon society.
So what do you think? Am I going old lady everything is dangerous crazy?

i am so with you on this one! when my sister was here she took me to see that movie IN THE THEATRE. i had no clue what it was about. i am the same way, i hate movies where everyone is gone and the cities are empty. nothing freaks me out more.
i was a nervous wreck through the entire film and had bad dreams for ages. it was good tho...
p.s no, you are not going old-lady-everything-is-dangerous-crazy. but, i would get more bottle water... you know, with the whole earthquake thing. (another reason to move out east... just saying!)
some call it "compulsive risk assessment psychosis"
