well, we went to mt st helens yesterday. very cool except that a cloud was sitting on half of the mountain. big bummer. so we will go back. very informative and a beautiful place.
went to mall today after finally making contact with a job possibility. still up in the air. after the mall we decided to hit a movie. war of the worlds. most of you know i was scared of e.t. when it came out. i refused to watch it. i would cry and cry. we had a three story house growing up and i would stomp up the stairs yelling "get out get out" cause i thought e.t. was in the attic. for some reason, war of the worlds brought out that fear again. not of e.t., but the same fear and unrest that e.t. had put in me. i was crying throughout most of the middle of the movie. brian was there, but i still almost walked out twice. it wasn't a cry like, those poor people, but it was a scared cry. like it was so real that i wanted to run away. make fun of me if you want, but that's me. i'll let you know if i can sleep tonight.

Hope You're Ok
I had an experience like that at the movie "The Jacket" that Eric took me to. I knew nothing about the movie and it turns out the guy gets locked up in a jacket and then put into a very small box (like a coffin) in an insane asylum and is tortured psychologically for like 8 hours straight. The scenes were his view of things--dellusions and psychotic stuff like bugs crawling all over you, etc. Another movie with the same stuff freaked me out a long time ago, but the way this one was done it was much worse. I could not handle it. I tried shutting my eyes during the torture parts but there were too many and then I started feeling nauseas so we had to leave.I love you sweetie--isn't it weird how fear can make you sick literally??

Re: Hope You're Ok
Yeah, I won't be seeing that movie any time soon... Thanks for the note. I'm fine. I slept ok, even though I woke up several times over and there were things from the movie in my dreams. It was like a happy dream with the creepy shit that scared me in the movie so the happy stuff cancelled out and it was just a blah dream. All I remember is not being scared and the stupid scary things moving around my dream.I love you, too. Thanks for the email about my article. I don't recall what the format is. I'll check it out and let you know. If you can't find anything, that's ok. I could buy her death certificate from Macomb County, but I thought that was too weird.
Talk soon...

Love you!

X-files
Doug and I have X-file marathons. We are one episode away from beginning season 3. Our plans are to watch all the seasons up until the movie. Aliens don't freak me out as much as other things do. Although I didn't want to be anywhere near a corn field for years after I saw Signs.However, a movie that did freak me out to the point of white knuckles-face buried in Doug chest-fingers in my ears-crying the whole time was when we saw White Noise. Way too close to home... And entirely way too well done. Freaked the shit out of me. I'm sure I'd be fine if I watched it now, but something in me snapped and I couldn't handle watching it that night. :(
