When Seeing A Movie
It was 2 am. My cousins and I were watching a movie in the dark.
I guess the time, the place, and the excitable company are the only reasons we reacted the way we did.
In other words, we got scared of a totally
un-scary movie.
"Can I sit here,
Ahia* Ken?" Jonny asked as he sat so far back that he squeezed Ken's legs.
"Sure," Ken answered a little uncomfortably.
The movie's background music started to rise in volume. Then the heroine screamed.
And so did everyone else in the room.
"RUNNNNNNNNN!"
"TO THE LEFT! I MEAN, THE RIGHT!"
"SOMEONE HELP HER! HOW ABOUT THAT OTHER GUY; HE'S THE FATHER!"
"OH MY GOSH!"
Five of us stopped yelling as the action got more intense. Everyone was riveted.
Jonny was still screaming though.
"GET IN! GET IN! YES, GET IN THE TUNNEL! OH MAN, SHE'S GOING TO MEET THAT GUY ON THE OTHER END!"
"Think positively, Jonny," my other cousin quipped.
"OH, THERE'S THE GUY! I TOLD YOU!" He moaned sympathetically until the heroine was surrounded by stocky muscled villains.
"OH NOOOOO, THERE ARE
GUNS INVOLVED! OH, OH, THEY'RE NOT GOING TO USE THE GUN! AAAAAAH!" Jonny was practically apoplectic. The rest of us just couldn't take it anymore.
"JONNY, SHUSH!"
Pause.
"Oh. Sorry." Silence reigned once more.
What can I say? We're pretty enthusiastic.

So I'm Daisy (or fedora_girl)
I'm (naturally) wearing the fedora.
I'm a Chemical Engineering student --- getting that degree sometimes involves putting my brain through a strainer --- who also enjoys living life and eating like every meal is my last meal.
I'm a child of God, and that gives my life meaning.
I adore my family and friends. We spend a lot of time together, so they occasionally come up in my posts.
I also take pictures, do computer work, and scribble. I use Adobe Photoshop for long periods of time, and design blogs. I submit most of my good photos and drawings in
my DeviantArt account, and my blog designs in
my Blogskins account.
I read a lot. My favorite books of all time are the Holy Bible,
Pride & Prejudice,
The Scarlet Pimpernel,
The Boy Who Could Fly,
The Nanny, &
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory.
I don't like watching TV because I feel it gives me wrong ideas about the real world. I'm partial to period dramas, musicals and other good movies though. A few that I like are
Pride & Prejudice (2005 version),
North & South (a BBC TV drama),
Facing The Giants,
Sixteen Candles, &
Singin' In The Rain.
I love music; I like a lot of genres. I'm getting into country music and some good rock at the moment. I also adore movie soundtracks and songs that are more than 60 years old.
And about this blog...
It's pretty much a personal thing. It's filled to the brim with my escapades, thoughts, stuff I make, and just plain observations. Random, really.
Hope you enjoy it!
