my friends are sick

It is true. I have very sick and disturbed friends. Why? Because they love to torture me. I have never liked scary movies. My friends know this and take full advantage of it. I will get invited to the movies and they will even go as far as to purposefully not tell me what we are going to see, just so they can get a sick joy over seeing me freak out.

Yesterday, I got a text from my friend, my very best friend, to go to the movies. I knew immediately that there was a very scary movie out that she was dying to see. So, I reluctantly texted her back asking her what she had in mind. Yep. The movie that I nearly peed in my pants just watching the trailer. Ugh!!! I told her fine (after going back and forth on the subject) but she just better be prepared to be embarrassed and she can't act like she doesn't know me in the theater.

I wasn't kidding about the "acting like you don't know me". The last movie she tricked me in to seeing, I spent most of the time mindlessly eating popcorn and peaking through my fingers... well, when my fingers were not in my ears! I would even hum loudly just so I couldn't hear that stupid music that "sets you up".

She agreed. I agreed. Then she gets on the phone to see if anyone else wanted to go to the show. By show, I mean me. They get their money's worth. They get to see two freak shows for one. Once my "friends" find out who is going (me) and what we are going to see, they giggle and laugh and giddily jump at the chance to go. Sick. Sick. Sick.

I didn't disappoint them. The first jump and scream from me and they can barely quit laughing....ten minutes AFTER it happened. Sick. Then, the icing on the cake for these sicko's was that during the movie a demon calls out one of the main character's name..."Angie". I turn to my friend with panic and ask, "Did he just say, Angie????" In return I get a happy "Yes!" and hysterical laughing. Did I mention they were sick??

I come home and have to spend the next two hours unwinding my mind with trivial, meaningless stuff. I even have to take some Tylenol for the intense stiffness of my neck. I try to facebook and guess what?? They have already invaded my page. Sick.

Well, I am here to say that I am secure in myself and am not afraid to happily admit that I am a true chicken. Not a chicken with all things. I am adventurous and will try just about anything that pushes me outside my fear zone. I am a tough girl. BUT, I don't like scary movies! Why? Because they are scary, people!!! So to all my sick friends...

And PROUD OF IT!
