Thorn Venatrix For me, the moodswings were most likely hormones as well, but not the PMS ones. The suddenness of it and the way I couldn't find one definate cause leads me to believe such. God, those action figures were about...$120-$150 if I remember correctly. I'd have to check the site, and I'm not exactly sure where to find it anymore. He is rather the clingable sort. Heh, nice. Now I want to learn more about microcomputers. Yeah, functions and formulas can become hard to remember, but in my experience they become easier once you begin to apply them. Have you thought about what your major is going to be? The moodswings are quite a lot better now. I haven't been having trouble with them at all. Now it's just my family who seem to be driving me insane. I'm trying to be my own person and they're trying to get me to conform to their ideals. It's a rather tense situation. Dark and mysterious is cool. I'm just not attracted to those kinds of guys. And yeah, everyone has to admit, Winsy-low is adorkable. Haha, I need to try playing PotP in high speed. Sounds great. Awesome! That's so cool that you got to go. Haha, I'd have been freaking out and bouncing off the walls and basically one you wouldn't want to be in the same room with for fear of bodily injury. That's kind of how I was when I got to see the Cradle of Filth concert here. It was the awesome. Hehe, excesses of exclamation points. Those are always fun. Either way, mood swings are ultra crappy. Speaking of PMS, it seems like I've had PMS for about a whole month now. Really wierd. I'm still getting moody. My doctor sent me to talk to a psychiatrist of some sort about it, but I dunno when I'm going. O__________O;; If it's over $100 it's expensive. Too true. Heh, true. I guess I just haven't been applying them enough xD. And I was doing so well first semester. Lately I've been having too many days of not feeling well. Overall, I like microcomputers though. Learning about computers is great ^^ My major? I dunno if I'm even going to major in anything any time soon. To be honest, I'd much rather have a career in the arts (specifically music) than in business . Blech, there are so many business colleges and not enough colleges with music and art courses. There is one college that I would love to go to, but even if I get in, I don't know if now is the right time to move somewhere else, for certain reasons. Plus, I don't know if I can cope with a room mate. I'm the sort of gal who needs her privacy. So basically, I know what I want to major in. I just can't do it right now. I'm happy about your lack of mood swings. However, you may have passed them on to me stare *looks at Thorn accusingly*. Seriously, though...for months my mood swings and major PMS problems were pretty much gone. Then they decided to come back for some reason confused That does sound frustrating. Why do people have to always try to get others to conform to their ways instead of accepting them for who they are? Individuality is so much better than conformity. True, true. I am, however. Some of the time. I'm really wierd though. My tastes in guys seems to always change from one type to another. I can never make up my mind. It might be easier to just have one type of guy to be attracted to. It's so hard to choose just one. *frustration* I'm too fickle when it comes to things like this. The guys I like seem to change with what type of mood I'm in. And also, I've come to the conclusion that I'm a Phantom whore xD. I can't choose just one Phantom, so I rotate between luffing each of them. I want to get a Phantom harem or something lol People who don't agree that Winslow is adorkable are just in denial. Yeah, it was amusing. I've done that with other DVDs as well. As soon as I found out I could do that, I got so excited! "Whee! I can make them talk and sing really fast!" I WAS freaking out. I wasn't bouncing off the walls, but I was inside (*sings* inside my mind). I guess it's because I'm so much of an introvert. Still, I was excited beyond words. I was literally shaking with excitement. From the very first scene, I was entranced. And I got chills when throughout the overture. I was just like "I cant believe I'm here!" But, yeah Thorn + hyperness + spiky accessories = a dangerous situation xp Despite what a lot of people say about phangirls and n00bs and excessive exclamation points, I sometimes find it difficult to get extreme excitement across without 'em (exclamation points, that is. Not phangirls and n00bs. Although, I've been both of those things at some point)! I'm really worried and frustrated right now. We found out on the day before Good Friday that my Mom has cancer again. We're really upset because it's in her skin this time and we don't really know anything about it. The doctors don't know anything yet either. I don't know what to do. We might find out more next week. The hardest thing is not knowing.

On a PotP-related note, I currently have "Life At Last" stuck in my head. What are your favourite songs from the movie? (this is directed at everyone, by the way).
Mine would have to be "Old Souls", "Special to Me" and "Faust." However the song from PotP that is most likely to get stuck in my head is "The Hell of It". That song is unnaturally catchy.

Jeez! Oh my god, Roze, the same has been happening to me. I've been having this really strange nonstop PMS-like mood. It's gotten really bad at times, too. Today is the first day I've had a reprieve for a very long time. I was starting to get these bad anxiety attacks with increased heart rate and the works, especially in the evening. I was getting to the point where I couldn't even tolerate PotP or Cradle of Filth for a while, so I had to just zone out in front of a bland movie or something.
I kind of feel that I should go to the doctor for it as well, just because of some of the scarier physical symptoms, but I'm absolutely mortified of the doctor. Plus my mom pretty much blew up when I expressed my concerns to her. She seriously screamed at me "Well, ******** you!" when I mentioned how freaked out I was.
And she will not stop ragging me on how I'm "too skinny". It's getting really old, really fast. She's actually increased the intensity of my anxiety attacks at times by saying that she thinks I look like I'm trying to be anorexic and that if I don't eat some kind of junk food from time to time something worse is going to happen.
It's gotten pretty rough between us lately. But today everything was good, and tomorrow I plan to get out of the house and stay out of the house what with the weather being warm, so that should be a nice break. Plus I've taken a hiatus from my math class, which, if not making things worse, it was at least not improving my mood. It was so much fun a couple of months ago, too. I miss what we used to be working on.
Heh, it's weird, for me I can only get across extreme excitement with a few people. Other people seem to comment on my seriousness and think it's annoying. But I don't generally use exclamation points very often at all.
Aah, god, I really hope your mother will be alright. My grandfather had cancer as well, and I'm a major carcinophobe, so I can relate. Pretty strongly. Good luck, both to you and her.
As for songs...I like Faust, Somebody Super Like You and The Hell of It. I don't really know, to be honest, as my preferences have changed and I really like pretty much all the songs, but those seem to be the most enduring favorites.
And I agree, there need to be more PotP fansites and the like about the internet. BADLY.
PotP love, yes. I am the one true holder of Winslow love. I and I alone will dole it out to others of my choosing if and/or when I choose to do so.

Gosh, Thorn, you're absolutely right. Winslow IS adorkable! *huggles an imaginary Winslow* http://www.swanarchives.org <-- Oh look. The Swan Archives. (It has valuable PotP information!) My favorite songs are Old Souls and Phantom's Theme. The ones I have in my head most of the time, though, are Faust and Goodbye, Eddie, Goodbye. Gad, I want Finley's version of Faust SO MUCH.

I and I alone will dole it out to others of my choosing if and/or when I choose to do so. Wow, it's so odd that we have the same symptoms. At least I know I'm not alone...still, it's not something I'd really wish on other people. But it hasn't been this bad since high school. There were times in high school where I had anxiety attacks, especially on the days when I stayed in the school for hours and hours. I missed a lot of school because of PMS and anxiety. I hope you get better...it's not a pleasant thing to deal with at all. And you not being able to tolerate PotP and cradle of filth is not normal. You should go to the doctor for it. It's important and this is obviously really affecting you. Why did your mom blow up at you like that when all you were doing was expressing your concern?! That doesn't make sense to me at all. I hope things work out for you with this. I went on birth control pills to regulate my period and control the extreme PMS. They were working really well for me until recently. It's like they've pretty much stopped working. Maybe I've become immune to them or something... And you're not too skinny. I think your body weight is just right. Junk food is just...well...junk. Sure, it's alright once in a while, but it's not something that people should make a habit of. You shouldn't eat anything you don't want to eat. I sometimes express my extreme excitement, but I tend to tone it down a lot for some reason. I don't use a excessive exclamation points very often, but sometimes, they're almost necessary xD Thank you. We're all really worried about it. We know a bit more now, however. My Mom is going to have to have surgery and get one of her breasts removed. I've been trying really hard not to catch anything from anyone. If any of us gets sick and spreads germs to my Mom, she can't have the surgery done on that day. Even if it's just a cold. And she needs to have this surgery. Thanks again for your wishes. I also like pretty much all the songs, for different reasons. I heart Faust. I didn't used to like it that much (like when I first watched the movie), but it grew on me and now I heart it. Yeah, there really aren't enough. In fact, there seem to be VERY few. I've decided...I want my own Winslow...*acts all fangirl-ish* I really want my own Winslow. I've been obsessing over him lately xD If I made any horrible grammar or spelling errors in this post, I'm really sorry. Gah, I have to wake up more because I need to study. Also, I'm sorry for replying to everything so late. It's just that there's been so much going on...

I clicked on it, and dun dadadun! Yay for the Swan Archives! One of the few PotP sites I've come across. And quite a good one, as well. Elanchana Gosh, Thorn, you're absolutely right. Winslow IS adorkable! *huggles an imaginary Winslow* Yay! Another person who agrees! Wanna join our Winslow Harem? =3 And Elanchana, about your siggy where it says "Erik = Michael Crawford ^2", that is so hilarious/wierd...I was thinking the same thing. One day I was thinking about that formula and "Erik = Michael Crawford squared" suddenly came to me. When I looked at your sig, I was like "Whoa! She thought of the same thing!" lol

...Okay, so suddenly I'm just not a very explicitly social person, yet I've developed a thing for hanging out in public places while doing whatever.
In other words I really don't care to talk much. I will say, however, that I feel a lot better than I had, and what have you. My mom and I...we're doing alright. There's still tension between us, but aside from one more major blowup everything's calming a bit.
And I'm not going to the doctor 'cause I think I figured everything out. My biggest anxiety now is that my mom is going to try to start controlling my life (she seems pretty opposed to some of the decisions I've made for myself and appears to be just barely restraining herself from excercizing what control she'll have for the last couple on months that I'm still legally a minor). But that too is calming.
I'm happy because the weather's been very good, I've gotten a bunch of new (very expensive) programs for my computer from various sources including Photoshop CS2 and Windows Vista, so it's all good.
But so that it's not all about me, I wish your mom all the best of luck in the surgery.
And yes, there's something about Faust that's just great. Maybe it's the foreshadwing, maybe it's simply William Finley's voice, but that song always gets me.
Hah, I think we all want our own Winslows. He's easy to obsess over.
The Swan Archives is nice. I like the rare pictures and whatnot. The guy who made that site was a moderator of my forum before it died. He's awesome.

Okay so at MAYO the other day, we were on break, and some guy started playing the piano in the room, and HE LOOKED LIKE WINSLOW FROM THE BACK! Seriously! Except with a slight hair discoloration. And after he was done, I grabbed the piano and started playing the hemiola madness that is Faust.
Thorn, what forum that died?

One teacher at school is a PotO/PotP phan though. =D I showed him my two -- OMGYOUHAVEJUSTGOTTOSEEMYPOTPDRAWINGS. Number 1: Titled "When Phantom worlds collide..." Pictures Erik on one side and Winslow on the other, staring at each other: "..." Bottom says "Erik: You dare impersonate me? Winslow: *electronic sigh*" Number 2: Titled "PotO vs. PotP" Pictures Erik punjabbing Swan, who stands there grinning, holding the "Contract of Agreement" Swan has a speech bubble that says "Heh heh heh >=D" while Erik has a thought bubble that says "Why isn't he DEAD yet?!" Winslow's head is at the bottom, saying "I've got the tape!" Oh, and another thing...
