The Effect of "I am Legend" on Gemini

I watched Will Smith’s “I am Legend” last night and I will probably sleep with the light on for weeks. It reminded me of a vampire movie, with a touch of 21st century angst.
I would laugh at my reaction to the movie, if only I wasn’t so busy trying to forget certain events. I won’t be specific as, if you haven’t seen it yet, I wouldn’t want to spoil your fear.
The Princess watched it today and wasn’t scared. She told me she cried at several points, probably the points where I wanted my teddy bear!
Chloe, our cat, wanted out last night. I was home alone and didn’t want to open the door to the darkness. I wanted the light. I finally decided I had to face my imagination’s fear, so turned on the outside light and quickly sent her out into possible danger.
When the child came home I made her let the cat in…I sent my child into the dark abyss, not knowing what risks she would face. I am a bad, bad woman.
It’s going to take me awhile to forget “I am Legend”. I much preferred “Pursuit of Happiness”, definitely more my kind of movie.
