Our patron saint's life was a lot more fun to learn about, because he was a big old sinner before he got converted. His life story was like the ancient version of "sex, drugs and rock & roll" :lol: Tina, so you’re even more traumatized than I was! :P At least I only had to see it once.

Although we didn't watch it when I was in pre-school, we had to go through the details come Grade 2, I think. We had to watch different versions of his life's movies for the entire ten years I was there. =)) Lorenzo Ruiz is my pre-school/elementary/high school’s patron saint, and imagine us having to watch his life year after year.

Perhaps it's unfair for me to blame that diorama for my strangeness. I was already kinda weird way before that. My parents actually thought I was autistic for a while, hehe. Maybe the diorama only reinforced it :P Yay for weirdness! Normal is totally overrated. You got me thinking… Perhaps it’s unfair for me to blame that diorama for my strangeness.

I think I just popped out weird :-P I played a lot of, some would say, "cruel" games with kids when I was younger (together with my cousins) involving getting their hopes up and letting them down, or scaring them half to death for the fun of it (yes, we were mean 9 year olds). I wonder if that has had an rippling effects on them since then :-/ Rafia’s right, at least you have a reason.

I just lol'ed at that scene you described though I have not seen that film and have no desire to (the book was so blah to me)... but Hannibal Rising, well, that's a whole other story... and I'm not going to comment about it here. I've always wondered if some traumatic event turned me into the thing that I am today. But I can't really recall anything, nor will anyone tell me anything... At least you have a reason and that should be comforting! But yes, there's no reason at all for children to be seeing that. I just read a piece on torture today for class and I thought it was a bit too much. Count me in!
