Made the mistake of watching this new drama that’s
on TV, you might have heard of it –
The Strain *sigh* what made me
think I’d
be able to handle it I’ve no idea. Well no, I
know why, I didn’t look very horror-y
for most of the way through – I was
watching the show’s premiere/pilot
thing, 1 hour 45 mins! – and I had no idea it
would be quite zombie-y.
If you don’t
know the show, it’s a horror contagion
drama that makes infected people act like vampires, feeding off other’s
blood and potentially turning their victims.
They. Look. Terrifying.
Again my fault that I found out, because I turned
it off from genuinely feeling like I was going to throw up, but the plot itself
I was interested in so I turned to The Mighty Google. Saw some photos. Oops. Up
to that point, the scariest thing was a creature something like the mother of
dementors with a weird stabby tentacle. Uhhh still feel sick actually…
You know how I’ve
always thought of my mental illness challenges like an ink-like poison dancing
and twisting round my brain? Well, tonight it has a little friend, since I feel
the same as I would with a usual ‘bad
night’
but with fresh material, if you like.
I need Tom :( one day we’ll
get a place together and I’ll never (or
rarely) have to be in this situation again. Thankfully I have the whole
collection of Vicar of Dibley on my laptop and I have my bedside lamp on. It’s
not too late and no one says I absolutely have to be in bed and asleep by a
certain time, if I need to stay up for a bit then I will :)
My sore throat and pathetic, tickly cough are
still lingering but I found a packet of orange Strepsils in our medicine
cupboard which have been by my side 24/7!
I’ve done this
many times – kept my laptop on playing Vicar
of Dibbers on repeat, I fall asleep and my laptop eventually dies off! It might
seem excessive, but if it means I can relax and get some sleep then I believe
it’s
worth it.
