I shouldn't watch these things before bed.

Scary movies, scary games, scary books, anything remotely "dead people" that aren't zombies freak me out. So when I watch Markiplier play games like RE77 before I go to sleep, it freaks me the fuck out. Jumpscares are one thing, but when some walking corpse has grotty teeth, peeling decrepit skin, an obvious possessed look, black eyes and oozing mouths they really play on my mind. I can never watch something like that and just forget about it like some people. The type of people who go to the cinema and enjoy that feeling of being in a dark room with a giant screen that makes you feel like you can't escape when the evil little demon girl jumps in your face, are insane. And I mean, good for you, enjoy your life, but- how?

How do you just get on with your day when I'm sitting here staring at the dark corner of my room where my bathroom door is just waiting to see if the door handle starts to slowly creak and turn. UGH. I really enjoy watching Mark play these games, mostly because it creates a barrier between me and the game because you're laughing at his reaction, and you're not participating in the interactive sense. But RE77 is on another level. If you haven't watched Mark play this, and you don't want to know what happens then stop reading here. 

Basically this is another game inspired by the famous P.T. Another one that scared the pants off me. You're in a constant spiral walking through the same corridor and doorways, but each time you come full circle, something is slightly different. Whether it's a door slightly ajar, a message on the wall, a flickering light or in this case a melon (was it a ball? I'm not sure) bouncing off a door. The fact that I literally screamed when watching Mark play P.T. didn't give me much hope of staying calm when watching RE77. But alas, I went on. Having a 50" TV in my room for gaming purposes didn't help either. But I did have the light on. 

The chest of drawers with the phone on it did look suspiciously like P.T., so I kept on expecting similar scares. Not quite. This took on a slightly different level of freaky. As Mark went past a window to look at the bouncing melon, you could see the characters silhouette, and it was completely freaking out. His head and shoulders were twitching and jumping like a possessed man, which by itself left me feeling even more on edge. All the scares that I assumed would happen, didn't. But right when I was starting to think that it would get to the end of the video and nothing would actually happen, that it would just be a very clever game that leaves you in constant suspense, an eyeless, long faced man/woman/thing shoves its face right in your face and I was left wide-eyed and heart pumping furiously. Needless to say I was watching Gilmore Girls for some time afterwards. -happy place-

Games like FNAF are great, the jump scares are the main attraction for most, and for the superfans, the lore is fantastic fun. But games like Resident Evil 7, P.T., and there's another game called Allison Road that's coming out soon, they're the games that screw me up. 

That doesn't mean I'm going to stop watching Mark play them though haha!

High on fumes!

I had plans of posting my Illumicrate today, but I got distracted by the beautiful colouring sheets we got in this months box and ended up spending most of the day colouring them in with sharpies! 

For those of you who use sharpies, you know how strong they smell! After using them for around 4 hours it's left me feeling very ill and lethargic.

It's no-ones fault but my own. Secretly I'm still thinking it was worth it because I finished one and started the other and it's the first time I feel like I've successful coloured something and it doesn't look like a 6 year old did it!

I'll be uploading my Illumicrate post tomorrow including my attempt at colouring!

There will be spoilers in tomorrows post so those who haven't got theirs yet will have to avert their eyes. I'll be posting another warning on that one too though so don't worry! 

In other news, I've also been watching PrankvsPrank and BFvsGF all day and making myself sad. I'm a long term subscriber of Jesse and Jeana and I was gutted when they broke up. It must be so difficult to have to share your daily life on the internet, and even tailor your life to what you feel like would be "good content". When you've watched someone every day for years, you get to know them, and when they're suddenly not in your life anymore, you really notice it. 

Obviously Jesse and Jeana's mental health, personal freedom and choices are the first and only priority not matter what any fan thinks, but obviously I miss their watching their daily banter! I do hope they're both living life still!

If you haven't seen any of PrankvsPrank or BFvsGF, then I would highly recommend that you do! They still sometimes upload on BFvsGF separately, but they have hundreds of vlogs to watch. Some of the best pranks on PVP (in my opinion) are D!CKHEAD PRANK, SPRAY TAN PRANK, TERRIFYING TARANTULA PRANK, and GIRLFRIEND CAUGHT CHEATING PRANK. The challenges on BFvsGF are hilarious too!

Peace, on the streeeeeeeeets, SAN! 

Casey Neistat is amazing.

If you haven't followed Casey Neistat on youtube yet, you're seriously missing out on some quality entertainment. I love watching his vlogs and movies. He has such a positive outlook in outlook on life, and such drive to just do something every single day, I've never met someone so happy. 

I have no idea where the man gets his energy from to be honest. I'm quite a realist *cough* pessimist *cough*, and most of the time when people are really positive and upbeat and I'm not in a great mood, I'm pretty much a gremlin in the corner sneering at all the rainbows and sparkles. But Casey's positivity isn't cliche. It's not forced for his channel, it's not eccentric to the point of seeming false, it's just who he is. 

So as I've been watching his vlogs for a while, I can see how his attitude has influenced me and my lifestyle choices. I want to achieve more things that were previously unattainable for me, I want to strive and plan for bigger and better, and I want to be more positive. 

Casey Neistat is such a cool person, and he seems like such a genuine guy, you need to check him out. Click his picture below for his youtube channel. I highly recommend Snowboarding with the NYPD, Bike Lanes by Casey Neistat and Her Water Broke.
