What my Netflix account says about me....

Netflix tracks the types of movies you watch. It asks you to rate them on a star system as well. And then it generates lists of more movies you may like. Since I have put my movies in, and added some Leonidas would like, then topped it off by placating Calvin (remember, my little brother?) with some weird-looking cancelled-after-ten-episodes cartoon, I've got a pretty random array of suggestions.

And I'm trying to not let my feelings be hurt.....which is pretty hard, considering they've pegged me as liking "Understated TV dramas featuring a strong female lead." Their main suggestion? MURDER.SHE.WROTE.

You know, the show with the seven hundred year old woman? (I think she was in Hooke.) Or maybe the Bible. Who knows?

Another suggestion? MISS.MARPLE.

Don't be worried folks, because I apparently like "Raunchy Dysfunctional-Family TV Comedies" too. You know, like South Park (which I do), the Cult of Cartman (which I was unaware of until this time but just added to my instant queue), and Family Guy.

Wait...what? FAMILY GUY? My hatred is best summed up by the South Park episode that makes fun of Family Guy under the guise of an old Laverne and Shirley episode. And seals.

I'm going to ignore the "Inspiring Coming of Age movies for 11-12" like Free Willy and the Black Stallion....when I was 12 and now, I still felt like killing myself while watching those movies. Wild animals in captivity? No thanks.

I'm pretty sure the first description is meant for me...a 90 year old woman confined to her home, sitting on her couch with a blanket in her lap, with her humidifier on, watching Murder She Wrote.

Although maybe I could pretend to be the 11-12 year old that needs some inspiration by seeing animals caged much like I'm metaphorically caged in by overbearing parents that don't understand anything?

Or maybe I'd prefer to be the immature 15 year old guy sitting in the basement, huffing paint, and watching Family Guy (because frankly, that's probably the only way that show will ever be amusing).

Netflix, I'm afraid you know me too well.

And that, quite frankly, is terrifying.
