Being sick .. makes me want to ramble .. about movies .. and sitting still .. or not

Do I have anything productive to blog about? Nope ...


Will I blog anyway? Yup ...


I am sick. It doesn't happen a lot but when it does ... it hits me pretty hard. It's really JUST a cold. But I might die. You could die of a head cold right?


Being sick makes me realize I don't do 'sitting still' very well. My life seems to be in this whirlwind of chaos every single day. I actually like it. Nothing is worse to me than sitting around .. doing nothing ... boredom is evil. I never watch TV during the day. Ever. I can't stay still for that long. I can't even remember the last time I've turned on the TV to watch a day time show. I don't watch dvd's very well either. Give me some laundry to fold while watching a movie and it makes it a tad better.


So today has been a sick day. A sitting around day. A watch a movie in bed day. AND I HAVE HATED EVERY SECOND. As I watched the movie .. I realized I change positions like every 20 seconds.


That can't be fun for the person who gets to watch a movie with me. Theaters aren't any better. Reflecting on theater moments ... poor, poor Shay. I seem to gravitate towards sitting next to her when the group goes out.


The last two movies in the theater with her went like this ....
whispering (maybe just a bit over a whisper) "psst... Shay ... look at how I can rock in my chair. I'm gonna try to do it the whole time. Think the people behind us will mind? huh?"


"Shay, I'm cold. why aren't you cold? your arms feel cold but you don't look cold. really? you really aren't cold? thanks for your sweater .. it's making me warmer. are you sure you don't need it? cause it kinda feels like you're cold"


another Shay-theater moment ...


the movie starts ...
a little (above) a whisper "OH MY GOSH Shay .. I TOTALLY kinda remember this part. Why? I didn't see this movie. OHHH .. I read the book. Didn't you read the book too? I can't believe this... cause now I'm gonna know what happens. I can actually tell you what happens next .. do you want me to??" (as I go back to texting .. cause I can't sit through a movie without doing that either)


That's a sickness in a different kind of way ...


There's more.


Last weekend Shay invited me over to her house to watch a scary movie. I NEVER watch scary movies. So this was going to be different for me.


Guess what? I sat next to her. She wanted me to. She didn't say that ... but I could just tell that she did. We're tight .. I can sense that she needed ME next to HER during that scary movie.


Blair Witch Project. Shay said it's one of the scariest movie's she's ever seen ... but it had been years since she had seen it.


Cuddled under the blanket ... it was night time .. lights were out .. the mood was set ..


"Shay? Shay .. what just happened there? okay, why is she just running away Shay? what WAS that? did you see that? why do you think he did that? WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT??... "


I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. Apparently .. I wasn't alone. After the movie ended Shay said it wasn't NEARLY as scary this time. Well .. I guess the first time - she didn't have ME in her ear. ME making all kinds of comments in the middle. ME breaking the suspenseful silence in the room. Who knew. Well .. at least she didn't need 30 minutes of a comedy show this time for her to be able to get to sleep.


Huhhh ... why, you're welcome Shay....


Hey .. Shay .. you wanna go see a movie with me?? Shay??
