What trickery!

Don't get me wrong, it was a very entertaining film.  However, I have a huge fear of aliens and ghostly happenings, particularly in relation to abduction and possession.  When I was evidently too young my babysitter made me sit through a whole DVD of an 18-rated x-files series.  Being prone to obsession as I am, I spent the following four or five years living with an unhealthy conviction that I would soon be taken from my bed and probed in space.  I woke up screaming quite a bit, and the sound of anything moving outside would force me out of bed to the window, where I would fearfully sit for a good half hour until I was fairly sure there was nothing trying to get me.  I still can't deal with the x-files theme tune, especially if I am on my own.  And I still have to stare at aeroplanes until they go out of sight if I am on my own, just incase.  I think it's because underlying the fear is an indestructible belief that these things exist.  I don't however believe in zombies.  So I can watch zombie films as much as I please, and though I may jump from time to time, it does not involve the same destructive fear that poltergeists and aliens do.  So, last night we watched Rec 2, and all was fine, until the theme changed from zombies to possessions.  I'm wondering if this will stay with me for future zombie films, or if I can section it off in it's own genre in my mind.

I'm pretty bored right now.  I've got loads of things to do but I'm too bored to do them.  I really need a change of scenery.
