Creepy Dolls and, why yes, I am procrastinating.

 So, yeah, I should be busy either cleaning this house OR working on my paper (when am I not supposed to be working on paper(s). Instead, I procrastinate. I happened upon this story about Civil war dolls being used to smuggle medicine to troops and, since it is almost Halloween, I reflected on how dolls kinda sorta creep me out. Especially old dolls. Maybe it is due to some of the stories I have read as a child such as A Candle in Her Room, which involved an evil doll named Dido and was deliciously scary (and gee isn't it expensive to buy now as it is out of print). I really should re read it and see if it would have the same hauntingly scary affect on me. Another memory is of a Disney movie called Child of Glass which had a china doll and a ghost. I remember being creeped out by this movie as well, so much so that it has stuck in my mind all these years...I had to be about 9-10 when I watched it. (Yeah, a Disney movie. Imagine that!). 

Brandon has always loved horror movies but he was always scared by the Chucky doll. Maybe this creeped out by dolls thing is genetic..LOL.

So, what strange thing really creeps you out?

Yeah, I got so excited about Merlin that I forgot to mention that the story you mentioned sounded vaguely familiar. Do you remember the name. I'll probs do a search to see if I can find out. But not tonight. Im tired and it's only day two of what will be a 60 hr workweek after all is said and done. Stupid me and feeling guilty/obligated to pick up an extra shift. As if I had time for that.
