I saw the scariest thing last night...

And it kept me up until 4:30 this morning.

Here it is: "Where The Wild Things Are child actor Max Records stars in Ruairi Robinson’s Blinky™ — a sci-fi short about robot helper who experiences a less-than-helpful malfunction," as described by thedailywhat.

I saw the video at around 6:30 last night, thinking I was going to take a shower after I finished. Oh no; I spent the next couple of hours just trying to get it off my mind. It didn't work. I finally had to shower because my boyfriend would be getting off work soon and picking me up. Then entire time I was in the shower, I was freaking out, checking behind the curtain every minute or so, and jumping every time the steam caused the curtain to so much as twitch. And so began my night of terror.

I somehow survived the shower and shortly after, my boyfriend came to get me. I showed him a couple of nice videos I'd watched that evening, and then he scrolled down to that and as he was scrolling past it, I commented that it was so scary and I was really freaked out. He of course had to watch it, then. I ran into my room, saying I would not watch it again, just trying to block it out with music and picking up the nearest manga to distract me.

He finished watching it, and of course began asking me to "play with him" and counting down all night. I kept telling him to stop, saying that I wanted to try to forget it, not remember it for the rest of my life. We went back to his house and watched some stuff on Netflix to try to get it off my mind, but as soon as the lights were out, I started freaking out again. I tried to calm myself down, reminding myself that it wasn't real and that Josh could kick its ass anyways, but that didn't matter. The movie kept flashing into my mind, and even Josh's comforting embrace couldn't relax me.

I decided I was staying up all night; there was absolutely no way I could sleep. Josh went to bed, but I stayed up watching some anime and then The Prince of Persia. I had to go to the bathroom really badly, but I was petrified to go out into the hall by myself, and I wasn't about to wake Josh up to walk me to the bathroom. That movie ended and I turned on The Princess and the Frog. That made me feel a little better, along with going on tumblr a bit, so I was finally able to force myself to go to the bathroom and lay down to sleep with the happy movie playing in the background.

I got two hours of sleep. They really should put disclaimers on these things. I mean, I know I'm a little bit chicken, but still! That was just terrifying! Agh just thinking of him counting down makes me shiver! All I know is that my boyfriend had better knock it off today!

And to end on a lighter note- look at this cute video from Chatroulette! I'm sure this made her week!
