So, after having spent quite some time reading Stephen King's 'The Shining' and being scared shitless until having finished it, I'm sitting here and still thinking about it some.
First I was really scared, rushing by my bathroom and always peeking in, afraid of the bloated corpse coming after me - I'd wrongly thought her to be a young, long-haired woman, quite the stereotypical image of a ghost/zombie, it's rather funny. I couldn't sleep until 4 AM and then just dozed off, but after finishing the book today I went online and looked at the Stephen King Wiki page of the book and saw that in reality it was old Mrs. Massey, a 60-year-old lady. So that brought up a kind of funny picture in my head, destroying the fear.
I can't even be afraid of any other parts because the book's finished and had a rather good ending.
In my opinion, Stephen King is a terrific writer and can conjure the most gruesome images with his words. Definitely gonna read more of his books, the holidays are long enough! :D
So, as a great track to listen to, here's what they've been playing on the radio during the last few days, since I was listening non-stop. I actually really really enjoy this song! And I hope you don't mind it being on vimeo, youTube's a BIT bitchy about embedding this these days <.<

hm. I know what you mean. Durin I was reading a book of the Naitonal Socialism and i dreamt that I was in a concentration camp. yees. I'm sorry, I blabber and blabber and blabber. :/ ... but Stephen King is a really goog author, isn't he? :)
I heard it by accident and was really blown away, it's got that special feeling I can't really describe. It reminds me of 'Wonderful Life' by Hurts, which also feels like a cool, refreshing breeze that clears your head. God, I'm weird ;)
That must've been horrible, even if it was just a dream, really, I can't even remotely grasp what that would be like! I dreamt of school last night and apparently we'd gotten Mr. Becker back and..it was awful! :(
Blabber on, I always like your blabber, you know? :)
Oh god yes, so frightening, but I can't WAIT to read IT, I think I'm gonna be scared shitless but it might be such a good book! :D
Oh, how I hate horror... XD
I like psychological horror, I don't even flinch at the most bloody and gruesome scenes. And I think it's rather curious that I'm not afraid of things which could happen to you in the worst case, but as soon as something unrealistic and supernatural is involved, I return to being a little girl! (Might just be because science hasn't proved that those things don't exist yet, and I firmly refuse to believe anything that science hasn't proved, so... I'M BEING RIDICULOUS HERE AGAIN YANNO? D:)
