I realize that I have been "somewhat" on a soap box about a certain infidelity topic lately and I know it can be a real drag. Here's what I'm willing to do for YOU!
In honor of Easter weekend, tonight me and Jason (Jason and I...whatev) are going to have a fright night.
Jason LOVES scary movies. He loves them so much that he can watch one right after another. Why I have NO idea, but same/same. I do NOT love scary movies as I tend to scare fairly easily. Just yesterday at work, I came in and was putting away my things and MB (see also EXTREME introvert who writes, hikes, and has 4 cats in a filthy house, although I'm not sure why the filthy house part is an important detail--but, there you have it.) came around the partition all quietly like she is. Having not heard her coming, I jumped out of my skin when she started talking. Complete with shriek, heart palpitations, the whole shebang: I was scared! And now I think MB should have to wear a bell around her neck at all times so I don't pee myself at work--just a suggestion. So, it is few and far between when I want to watch a scary movie. In saying that, every October, I commit (ok so maybe it's only been 1 October so far, but I am committed to his love of Halloween) to watching all of the Halloweens and Nightmare on Elm Streets and pretty much any scary movie that is out in theaters from Sept to Oct. I have to say, it takes a toll on my nervous system, I sometimes even have nightmares because of them (in particular, the week after we saw the movie: The Crazies, I had some really bad dreams...I digress, and no I won't just go back and delete said digression. It's there because I'm like a rabbit in my thought process, always changing directions, but at some point I get there so since the point is coming, just wait for it!) :)
At any rate, Jason loves watching scary movies with me. He doesn't get scared typically, however when I jump out of the seat or scream it gives him a scare too. It's like a bonus, he loves the movies, loves watching movies with me, loves getting scared, and loves seeing my reactions. So, since I am a super trooper, I psych myself up for these moments and take one for the team.
Tonight we are going to see a double feature. We will be watching Insidious and Scream 4. I'm nervous, but the good news is, Sunday is Easter. I will have thoughts of Resurrection, Bunnies, Chocolates, and Colored Eggs to get me through. (not sure exactly why I capitalized all of those--but I did.)
T.G.I.F!! Ya'll have a great weekend!! :)

P.S. I didn't have time to proof read this because I have a movie extravaganza to attend so please overlook my grammatical errors! :)
As a fellow scaredy-cat, I feel for you. I very well may have bad dreams just from reading your blog this evening! Just the mention of those movies sends flashbacks of all the scary movies I've ever seen. Sorry to say, the older I get, the less of a "trooper" I am. :/ I can't simply dismiss the disturbing images playing over in my brain.
ReplyDeleteSince I can't be much of an encouragement, I leave you with wishes for:
Sweet dreams, Happy Easter, and I hope the Easter bunny doesn't eat you in your sleep after cramming you into a suffocating plastic egg. May your Peeps stay friendly and not turn into crazed, demon possessed marshmallow monsters.
O.K., so I don't have a lot to say about this one except, if it was me, he would be watching those by himself. Don't like. Don't enjoy. Not subjecting myself to such. Done and done.
ReplyDeleteNow, to the reason I was "commenting."
35 Things to do before I'm 35
* Learn when to keep my mouth shut
We all could use a dose of this one.
* Ride Horses on the Beach
Nice
* Go Water skiing at least once
Hmmm. Sounds good, BUT . . . I am getting up in years and this activity sounds like it could possibly cause me bodily harm that might take a while to recover from, so I will pass.
* Learn to Sew
How about that
* Run/Walk in a __k
Really don't have a desire in this area. At least I don't think I do.
* Go Skydiving
Nope, nope and nope
* Go on a cruise
Would have to stay in coastal USA waters. Alaska would be nice
* Take a semester of Belly Dance
Here again, nope. I took a Zumba class one time. I almost ended up in tears because I couldn't make my body do those moves. I mean, dancing was never encouraged growing up, much less dancing like this. I decided to never subject myself to anything like that again. Too depressing
@MS, LMAO!!! I loved loved loved your wishes!! I read them to Jason because he wanted to know what I was laughing at!
ReplyDelete@DTBH, I also loved what you said about your Zumba experience! LOL You crack me up! I'm sure that with practice comes movement. Never know, you might find your niche in belly dancing! :)
