I am about to reveal myself as an even bigger nerd than you may already believe me to be.
Is that possible?
I think we shall soon find out....
I am not a big fan of movies.
I guess I never really have been.
Though there are movies that I look back on with a fondness, it's not because I enjoy the movie itself so much, but rather the time period that it recalls for me.
I would rather read a book.
I think I have determined the reason for this:
I'm a control freak.
When I read a book I'm in control of the images in my head...the way people look, the way they walk, sound and dress.
When I watch a movie, the director is in control of the images in my head.
I don't want him in control of my head.
Even for an hour and a half.
See?
Control freak.
Since I suffer from the afore mentioned psychosis and rarely watch movies, or even television I have become super sensitive to what little I do watch.
You know how people can become desensitized to violence and whatnot?
I've become the opposite of that.
I don't view it regularly, so when I do I get all stressed out, tense and jittery...and we're not talking Texas Chainsaw Massacre (as if)...we're talking Transformers.
(And no, not the cartoon...smartypants.)
I climbed in bed a few nights ago and Matt was watching the last half of it.
I got pulled in by one of the transformer voices that sounded vaguely like Sean Connery, so I watched it with him.
Bad idea.
I could feel my body tensing up through the whole thing and at one point I think I quit breathing temporarily.
The movie ended.
I couldn't relax but fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow (cause that's how I do things)....
and promptly had the worst nightmares I've had in a long time.
Seriously.
My 10-year-old daughter laughed at me.
I should seek treatment.

Up next: More Cassie!

Love these she has beautiful eyes. And the they's of the world (whoever they are I've never learned) say you should not watch action TV/movies before bed. Personally I've discovered you shouldn't read action books before bed either, and I don't fall right asleep and I'm therefore envious of you:)
Its the same for love stories. Never read a love story before bed because you'll never be able to put it down. Its crazy. And it's not so cool when you stay up till 1 in the morning reading it and then have to get up and go to school the next. Eh!
