Movies

well, there isn't really much new at this point. i did go see a movie with Nicole the other day, and it was really good. It was P.S. I love You. It turned out to be more emotional for someone else (wink wink), than for me. I almost cried at one point, but then i heard sniffles from the audience, and it took that urge away.
I don't know what is wrong with me when i watch movies. They just don't impact me the same way they do others. For example, I don't like to watch horror movies, or scary movies, just for the fact that i DON'T get scared! What is up with that?! Yes, I do "jump in my seat" every so often if I am caught off guard, but I'm not scared. I think I will have to blame dad for this one. Everytime we would watch a movie (way back when we were younger), he would always do TWO things. First, he would always try and scare us at the most opportune time during the movie, by coming up behind us and throwing is hands onto our shoulders, or like place, and yelling AHHHH! From this, i have learned to be aware at these times of the movies, as to not jump and give dad the satisfaction of my reaction. Second, once dad saw for a fact that i was scared, he would always profess this statement " It's not real, it's only a movie" then followed by a smirk. So i have put it in my head this truth of reality.
As for sappy movies, sometimes they make me cry, and sometimes, they just don't. So, I guess it's not as bad with these types movies, but it still makes me question, WHY?!
