Disturbed by Disturbia?

I don't watch horror movies. This is because I hate having nightmares. And the two usually go together.

Tonight my folks were watching the movie Disturbia. At the start, there was a 14A rating with a warning. Parents were strongly cautioned about their children watching it. I looked over, my parents did nothing. It said something about scenes of extreme violence. Still, they did nothing. So I watched it. It wasn't that scary... Maybe a little tense at times.

Now the parents have gone to bed. I'm alone. And I'm not scared. It's just a heightened sense of awareness. That's all it is really. I notice every sound or slight change in the lighting. Actually, simply realizing that I'm sitting here alone in the middle of the night, in the dark and anything could be out there peering from the darkness into the windows watching me... sends a sense of panic through me.

N-n-nnnopp-pp-pe. N-n-n-ooooott s-s-scaarred.


ps. If I don't post a blog within 48 hours... then I dunno. I loved you all. Good-Bye.

we, like, TOTALLY, like, just, like watched Disturbia.

Not a bad movie. Des doesn't like scary movies either, so I sheltered him from the scary parts. :)

Hope you had a really nice thanksgiving!

What's wrong with the post scary movie nightmare? That's like a double feature - two movies for the price of one...

Parents slept like babies all night long. Nice thing about old age is that real life is scarier than most movies!
