Need a Plot? No problem! That's what infertility is FOR!

You know, even if it's a rather entertaining piece of fiction, it also bugs the hell out of me that Hollywood thinks it's a logical leap that women who cannot have children will randomly buy an infant from a junkie and then later casually knife, dismember and stuff the body in a toy chest when the (reformed) junkie comes to collect her child.

Because it is completely the same thing.

What movie is that? That sounds crazy. However there were some women on infertility boards that I used to go to that I believe could probably do something like that. haha They were insane and scared me.

It's actually not a movie, but the show Desperate Housewives. And I have encountered some of those scary scary women online myself.. hehe. But still!

Sounds like something I could do to the next door neighbour from our old place (the dismembering bit, not the buying a kid bit). L-G moved when he saw the idea was forming in my head.

You're a little scary, you know that? ;) But very very pretty, have I mentioned that before? And.. uh.. smart! Yes. And nice...

Just as well you know to be nice. After all, I'm heading your way....

What the hell kind of movie is that??? Have you been watching Lifetime?

And here I thought you were going to announce you were doing a nano this year.

Wait. . did they dismember the child's body or the junkie's body?

[same-sky.livejournal.com]

Junkie. Though judging from the way the kid turned out, maybe they'd have been better off... oh, never mind. I won't even finish that sentence. ;)

*laugh* I HAVE been watching Lifetime! I watch it a lot! But never the movies. This came directly from that channel though--it's Desperate Housewives, which they started replaying at noon recently. I'd never seen it before and got sucked in accidently. I figured that since I just finished season one of a five-year-old show then I don't have to worry too much about spoiling anything.

Hahaha. Nano. Yeah right. ;)
