It’s okay. I managed to sleep with the lights off

Hello reader,

Paranormal activity: “You’ll be sleeping with the lights on!” It claims. “DON’T WATCH IT ALONE!” It warns. Prepare, it is saying, for terror.

And the other night we WERE prepared for the “terrifying” experience the DVD box promised; Cushions were ready to be cowered behind, lights were ready to be turned on, mothers were ready to receive phone calls. But NO. No such precautions were necessary.

Strange door movements were, I admit, creepy. Noises, yes, were odd. Claw like foot prints were, as always, slightly concerning. But terrifying? No.

The scariest part of the film for us, embarrassingly, was the black screen after it had ended. We were so convinced that it couldn’t have finished, that we sat there on tenterhooks for several minutes, staring at the inactive TV.  

And when the scariest part of a film is when it’s not actually playing, it’s not really saying much for it.

ASIDE FROM THAT, it was fun. Well worth watching.

P.s. HAPPY HALLOWEEN 

We wrote you a story!

There were a few issues with the registration process. It told us to write a story. We wrote a story. Pressed "Save", but NO. Only 400 characters, they say! Don't tell them a wonderful story, they say! You just wasted your time, they say! NEVER, we say! Our readers (of which we have none) deserve to read our story! So here it is:

There once was a very sad frog. We shall call him Chris. Chris the frog was very sad because he had no hair. THAT'S RIGHT. He was BALD. Chris the frog was partial to a lady frog down the river (Mattalina), but he was SO self-conscious about his shiny head, that he couldn't bear to talk to her. One day he had a brain wave! "I know," he croaked, "I'll go to Juddlows wig shop down the road!" Chris the frog hopped along to Juddlows and bought himself a lovely blond wig. He was particularly pleased with the bows that came with it; Beautiful pink bows! "Finally," he exclaimed, "My head is worthy enough for Mattalina!" He hurried to Mattalina's pad, only to be greeted by a big toad!"What do you want?" The toad's voice rumbled. He glanced at Chris' wig. "Oh!" He said. "You're here for the party!" He ushered Chris inside. Chris danced all night long! Everyone loved his beautiful wig, espcially Mattalina. At the end of the night she gave him a big squishy kiss and Chris went home happy. THE END

OUR FIRST POST

Dear readers. Of which we have none.

Just a bit of background information.
We're Vicky and Jasmine. "Jacky" is our very clever mix of both our names.
We're sixth formers, vegetarians, and BESTEST friends (we have the bracelets to prove it).

We were casually browsing the "101 Thing To Do Before You're Old And Boring" that Vicky has on her bookshelf, when we realised that we had never blogged. EVER. So, now we have. And you're reading it. Congrats to you.
