Why I love my job and hate scary films

Okay, so Saturday night, you'd expect that as a student I'd probably be out with my mates in town. Wrong. For several reasons:

There's not really anywhere to go out in my hometown (however uni is a whole different story). My friends are all at unio now anyway. I also have a job at the local chinese takeaway on a Saturday night.

There is no easier way to say it: I love my job! The people (staff and customers) are lovely, the wages are good and the food is divine! I'd recommend that you should hunt this takeaway down as I'm still yet to find a better one for it's cuisine. Perhaps it's because they know the cuisine better than any of us English. The Chinese are just such welcoming, intelligent and friendly people and I'm so lucky to count them amongst my friends and employers.

And so, after work this evening I cam home with a goody bag of chinese food and settled onto the kooshty sofa with a magners, having a drink with my parents. They were watching Rose Red. I'm not going to lie...this is a terribly scary film. Do not watch this film on your own. You want to know the worst thing about scary films? They don't finish when they stop playing in the DVD player.

Your mind starts pondering and you end up at 3am in the morning doing anything to prevent yourself falling asleep in case you have a nightmare (and of course the lights in the entire house STAY ON!)

Whoever decided scaring yourself was a good form of entertainment is an absolute moron. I hate Steven King. Especially his films. I also hate scary film directors.

Sorry film industry, but I value sleep and my mental health far more than your movie ratings.

About Me

My photo
Okay, so I'm a first year law student looking for a way out of the university workload. Trust me, it can get that bad, but i'm sure it'll be worth it in the end. I crave some sort of creative output and so this blog is going to be sort of a diary of a university student. I love criticising and worshipping different media as well as socialising student style and spending time with the currently adoring boyfriend. i also love good food, a passion which also haunts me as i battle weight gain with avengence. Obsessed perfectionist and hopeless romantic, i love planned spontanaity and in this case oxymorons.
