I Think You'll Find This One Even Softer.

So I suddenly and unexpectedly fell in crazy love with Derren Brown at around 3.00-4.30 in this clip. It really hit me at 4.16-4.24. Apparently my type is 'oxygen-deprived lunatics'. Good to know! (Seriously, the weak 'Do you feel anything?' The way he looks up at her? I - I don't know what's wrong with me. He's like a zombie after he takes the bag off his head. I'm not attracted to zombies. Am I attracted to zombies? I really, really hope that I am not attracted to zombies. And he has a plastic bag over his face and he's breathing slowly into it and it is incredibly unsettling to watch and yet it is also somehow - it's - stop bringing out these massively disturbing fetishes in me, Mr Brown.)

I've watched 'Something Wicked This Way Comes' and 'An Evening of Wonders' in the past couple of days, and there really is something disturbingly attractive and attractively disturbing about Derren Brown. He just hovers on the brink of being evil, whilst still being polite and charismatic. A bit like the Master without the genocide.

ANYWAY, NOW THAT I HAVE ALARMED YOU AND MYSELF, SOMETHING LESS DISTURBING.



I CANNOT THINK OF ANYTHING LESS DISTURBING. Which is odd, because quite a lot is less disturbing than 'I am weirdly attracted to a rather creepy man who could probably get me to give up my purse just by asking for it nicely' (that link leads to a video on a site called 'StupidVideos', as the YouTube video does not appear to be available in the UK; if you live elsewhere and would prefer YouTube, try this link. It's only a couple of minutes long, and it's very interesting), but, no, nothing is coming to mind at the moment.

It's not weird until I start writing real-person fiction about him, right?

...right?

Do you think it's because he's voluntarily putting himself in a vulnerable position that makes it all a bit sexy? I don't know. get back to me.

You know after reading this post I was half expecting that woman to start drumming out duh-duh-duh-DUH, duh-duh-duh-DUH.

I think the apparent vulnerability is probably a very big part of it. I am learning so much about myself today! So much I didn't want to know.

I AM NOW DISAPPOINTED THAT THAT WAS NOT THE RHYTHM. That would have been the best thing ever. And by 'best' I mean 'most terrifying'.

Ahahahahaha. Derren Brown: Inside Your Id.

a) I really think you might be on to something there; because he's always so in control of everything and everyone around him, the fact that he appears suddenly not to be (although of course we know that he is), is kind of...yeah. Either way, we're all GIANT WRONGERS.

b) just had to tell you that this made me lol so much. IT'S THE DRUMMING, DOCTOR
