Saturday night I'm sitting here sewing and flipping thru channels, right? Well, I stumble upon "Worlds Scariest Places." Now I know better than to watch this because I'm a chicken shit.
This is common knowledge among my family and friends. If anyone takes me to a scary movie or if I watch anything scary on TV I have to have someone stay with me or sleep with the lights on. Sadly even at MY age I still have nightmares if I watch horror movies.
Most of the "classics" I've never seen because I CAN'T watch them. None of the "Friday the 13th" movies. NONE. Only the original "Halloween" with Jamie Lee Curtis. None of the "Nightmare on Elm Streets" no "Exorcist", no "Amityville Horror" - nothing like that. Altho I DID see "Rosemary's Baby" like a million years ago. (Believe it or not, I had nightmares about "Wild Wild West" when I saw that. And not just because it was bad, either).
I can't see these things and I KNOW this. So why in the hell - it's a cold and rainy night and I'm alone - do I sit here and watch "World Most Scariest Places"? I dunno. Maybe 'cause not only am I a chicken shit - I'm a DUMB chicken shit!
So I end up watching all of these and I'm so damned scared I have to turn on the lights to sleep. I'm pathetic. Then I'm laying there thinking "oh my GOD! I hope my cousin didn't see this! She'd probably volunteer US to do something like this!"
Hey - if they did (because in these particular shows, they would take a family and drop them in someplace like Transylvania and put cameras on them and send them out - ALONE - into various areas of the place that were "haunted") - they'd have to bleep out every sentence I uttered. Especially if something got "weird". There would be a stream of "colorful metaphors" issuing forth from my lips that would cause even Sailor Jerry to blush!
Tonight I'm back to "Law and Order" and "Cold Case Files". This I can handle.
Work this week should be ok. The sea hag is gone so I can run amok. I'm going to apply for several jobs while she is gone. I talked to my team leader last week and he's like "well, she doesn't want you to leave."
Uhm, yeah. Too late. She doesn't want me to leave because it will look bad on HER. Let's not kid ourselves. And with Kim leaving on DB she'll need someone to dump all the work on. Not happening again. Find someone else.
A bit of good news today. I paid my car off! Yay! Quite a pleasant surprise I must say! Oh, and I got invited to a Halloween party this weekend. Sweet! I have no idea what I will go as, tho. Hmmmmm.
I'm slowly learning to read music but not like one would think. When I see a certain note it means to me "this finger there" and not a letter like a# or something like that. But that's ok. It works.
Mom says I play too mechanically. Well, yeah. I'm not like a virtuoso or anything. Gimme a break! I'm sure that once I get the hang of it I'll start "playing" and not just "repeating". It took me about a year with the drum so I figure about 2 years should do it (as long as I keep it up).
Picked up a couple of CD's at the library. I need to watch someone play in order to see their technique. It's much easier to know what someone is doing if I can see it. Too many questions and no answers until the videotape tells the tale!
