Give credit please!

I've never had problems with picture thieves before. As you know, we went to a truck&car show over the weekend, I took 300+ pictures (which would have been more if there had been models there). This "like" page on facebook proceeds to steal one of my pictures. Not a "we have similar pictures" thing, no this is -my- picture just cropped. Same image in the picture, same angle, same blurriness, same reflection in the bg of the image. So when Boyfriend brings it up to the page, and asks for credit for the picture. They proceed to block him from the page, HOW RUDE!
So after discussing putting a watermark on all the pictures from now on.... Boyfriend... who didn't take ANY of the pictures, didn't do any of the walking with me, didn't do any of the squatting and leaning for angles, didn't do any of the work....wants the watermark to have his and my FB addresses on the pictures. Why? Is what I want to know. Why should HE get credit for the pictures? Why should he even have a say in the watermark that I put on MY pictures that I take? Maybe I'm making too big of a deal about it, but that just sounds like to me that WE both put in EQUAL effort in the pictures... which "we" didn't.

Horror Movies

A bit of a rant....

I quite enjoy horror movies, love them in fact, I have tons of horror movies that I've missed out on watching. Boyfriend does not, he'd rather they not even be mentioned. So I have to watch them with him asleep, despite the fact that we don't have a place in a living room for me to watch them so he can sleep. Even with the TV turned down, the speech is soft, the sound effects are loud (normal for scary movies).
Let's put it this way: It's my TV, it's my XBOX, it's my Netflix, it's my bedroom.
