My thoughts on Stephen King's "It" (Spoilers warning)

Started Saturday morning, December 15th.

I don't recollect the first time Stephen King became part of my vocabulary and consciousness. I vaguely recall knowing It, Christine and The Langoliers were connected with Stephen King but not when or how...

I have seen the entirety or parts of Christine, The Sleepwalkers (cracks me up to realize it's Brian Krause/Leo from Charmed in this movie), Carrie, The Shining, The Deadzone, The Running Man (I thought Arnold Schwarzenegger was good in that movie. *giggles* But that's my opinion from when I was at least six to nine years old), The Langoliers (my sister and I were terrified watching this!), The Rage: Carrie 2 (I remember being so amazed at how sexual it was - then again I was much younger and more pure), Misery, The Green Mile, TV's Kingdom Hospital and Secret Window.

I've read Rose Madder, I think back in Vietnam.  I'm unsure if I was in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City, but I remember my sister was still with us and she was the one who brought home the book from the library. Unfortunately my memory of the book is very wispy, but I remember being intrigued by the mythological aspect of it. I loved Greek mythology back in 5th grade in ISKL, and because of this and books such as Rose Madder I was really interested when my Spring FYI professor introduced us to Greek mythology. It made it easier to remember the stories and characters during his analogy-like quizzes. (That said, I do not know stories such as The Iliad.)

I'm in the middle of writing excerpts and citing for an English exam due tomorrow at midnight so that's why I did Works Cited here. :D I'm in the mode. Two finals, and a paper left!

(Calculus II was wretchedly hard.)
