My Life As a Diva

Hello, my name is Christian "lashawintavia" Jackson, and im a Diva. From a very young age It was aparent that i was unique. My voice and inflection has been that of a pubescent school girl for as long as i can remmember. Since i was 12 i have sharpened my fingernails to a point, not only for a rebellious style, but also as defense against the homophobes who followed me home the first 7 years of school untill my mother and her girlfriend decided it wasnt a safe environment for me and homeschooled me.

I have dated both men and women, and personally i prefer to spend my life alone. i spend more time in front of mirrors than any gent should, because lets face it, one on one is more fun anyway. I apply my lipgloss like its my job. I find it important to do everything with a touch of divaocity and a whole lot of attitude if you get my drift.

Although i spend most of my time alone I enjoy the occasional random hookup. okay, maybe a little more than occasional. Alrite, maybe i havent spent a night alone in my own bed in years, but that doesnt mean im lonely... does it? As long as i am comfortable with myself i think i will be just fine, as long as i can survive the cruel unaccepting world on the outside. If only they knew how real all of this feels to me. Maybe then someone would accept me.

1) Do you agree or disagree with King’s point of view? Why?


I deffinatly agree with his point of view, because although dead baby jokes make me sick to my stomach, they make me laugh histerically. Many things scare me but i think that these things make life more exciting and i wouldnt have it any other way.


2) Create a quick list of horror movies that you are familiar with. Why do you think these films are appealing to viewers?

The shining
Hard Candy
Thirteen Ghosts
Rose Red

These movies are all appealing for the same reasons. Each one of these has a serious sense of mystery that keeps any viewer intreaged, as well as wonderful directing which made for a lot of shocking suprises, and special effects.

3) Stephen King ends his article by stating, “As long as you keep the gators fed”. What does he mean by this statement? Does his argument have any credibility?

In my opinion i think he is saying that everyone has dark desires, and as long as we keep our minds fed through horror movies, we wont have to give into the urges in real life. i think it is a very deep thought, and that it is very credible.




1) Do you agree or disagree that this film should have been banned? Why?

I strongly agree. Although i love the saw and hostel movies, the fact that they have character development makes them more than just brutal films, however if you cut out the storyline, like they are suggesting that this movie has done, you have little more than a snuff film.

2) In the future, many analysts predict that horror movies will continue to become gorier and more sadistic. Do you believe this is true?

I personally dont think it is possible to get any worse than we have now, however i would love to be proven wrong. i am a huge horror movie buff and as long as there is a good story behind it ill watch anything anyone can come up with.


3) What do you think Stephen King’s point of view would be on horror movies being banned? How do you know?

I think that stephan king would be very angry if horror movies were banned, because not only is it something that he is very passionate about, but also it is his carreer to write and tell horror storys. On the other hand i dont think that mr. king would be down with the movies like "grotesque" because his movies are all about building tension through character growth.
