...the death penalty.
"The state is allowed to do that?"

"Ewwwwww!! !! !"

*Imagines plane flying through building...coming out the other side intact* (before I turned on the TV obviously)

"Say whaaaaaaaaaaaat?????" (I'm being serious, the FIRST time I saw that)

...Joseph Kony.
"So thats what his name is."

...the death penalty.
Anyone who gets that must have done something really terrible.

...sex.
Interesting; I'll have to learn more about that.

...9/11.
Horrified, also an overwhelming feeling of not knowing who was responsible or why it was happening... so many unanswered questions at the time.

...Hitler and the Holocaust.
Shocked and sickened that Hitler's hate could be carried to such an extreme, and that his orders were unquestionably and blindly followed by so many people.

I also noticed the same thing on the soles of their feet, but wasn't really affected by it... just kind of an "oh, OK" reaction.

...Joseph Kony.
I'd never heard of him till now - looked it up on wikipedia. Hopefully he'll be caught soon and brought to justice.

My reaction to:

- Watching Edward Scissorhands:
"Aww he's soooo cuuuute! I wonder if Tim Burton and Johnny Depp's other movies are as good as this one..." *cue the beginning of an obsession*

- Watching Sweeney Todd:
1) "Hey, musicals can actually be pretty awesome."
2) *watches Sweeney slit people's throats* "EEEEK!" (I got used to it after multiple viewings)

- Watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005):
"I wonder where Willy Wonka hides the bodies." (I didn't know that the movie was rated PG the first time I watched it)

- Watching Alice in Wonderland (2010):
"Best. Movie. Ever."

- Learning that the trailer for Dark Shadows is finally being released on March 15th:

My reaction to waking up:
Oh no not again!

The Death Penalty - This shouldn't be legal

Sex - I lost my penis when I was born

9/11 - I felt guilty that I didn't say nicer things about Americans between 1986 and 2001

Hitler and the Holocaust - It's sickening that Hitler wanted to kill off all the Jews, Blacks, and people with various disabilities and just about anyone he didn't think was perfect. He's created many of those attitudes that still exist today. I hate him.

A black person's palm has light skin colour - I found it interesting
