I am having enough difficulty finding the energy to have a conversation with my fellow humans at the moment let alone thinking up a readable blog.
However, earlier today someone said something and i thought, as i often do, about a TV show i saw when i was little. I think about this TV show a lot, i was really young when i saw it, i don't remember what chanel it was on or why i was watching it all i remember was that it was terrifying, i had never seen anything like it, i had nightmares for weeks and weeks and i still remember it as brilliantly terrifying. The only difference was that today, for the first time in years, i remembered the name of it - Are You Afraid Of The Dark.
So, obviously, the first thing i did was google it. They made 7 series of it! It's quite likely that someone reading this will also have seen it, i quickly found the episode i saw - it aired in 2000, i would have been 4.
I know people say you should re-watch things you saw when you were young because it will ruin it but i HAD to watch it.
Here it is, if you have a spare 25 minutes http://www.megavideo.com/?v=XENJUHG7
WELL, it was actually quite creepy, i mean, it's really cheesy and probably won't give me nightmares but i enjoyed it (perhaps not as much as i did when i was 4).
I think maybe that was what started my strange fascination with the disturbing. I remember when i was about 7, my dad showed me a website with short films on and i would spend my evenings glued to the computer screen watching half an hour long obscure horror films and i LOVED them, programmes like the Mighty Boosh (not really horror, but a bit odd) and psychoville make me laugh more than anything else and Stephen King is one of my absolute favourite authors.
And I really want to go to the Hunterian Museum in London but nobody will go with me.
On a completely unrelated note - Anonymous commenter - I love the playlist a lot. Thank you. x

I'm glad you liked the playlist - I had a feeling that as a woman of impeccable taste that you would. Just a few of my favourite tracks at the moment. When I come across any more tracks worthy of you I'll do another one.
