So tonight I watched the new episode with a friend who had never watched DW before, so afterward, we backed up and watched S5E01 to give her a little more backstory for future episodes, and then we watched Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead at my request because I'd never seen either and refuse to watch them without someone else present.
And then I had to walk home in the dark, where I literally jumped at shadows, and I turned the volume on cell phone to loud and STILL was hyper-aware of everything around me all the time (honestly, if I had been this ware of my surroundings when I was back in school, I wouldn't EVER have to worry about being mugged) and I recoiled from a random guy just because he kind of shuffled his steps for a moment and that freaked me out.
And then I had to go up the STAIRS and into my ROOM.
I am going to watch an episode of a NOT SCARY show and eat ice cream and may even go to sleep with the lights on! Hopefully this wears off by tomorrow. I really need to get over my fear of the dark, but Doctor Who episodes do NOT help with that.
( And now for my spoilery thoughts )
