Well on Saturday, Nights was playing on post and I decided to test my independence and go alone. I've never been to the movies on post before so I don't know if this is common place but before the movie even gets started you have to stand for a Star Spangled Banner music video. And the video is of Tropic Lightning soldiers in Iraq. Oh that made my dang day. So I started to tear up then and pretty much never stopped.
This is pretty similar to what happened during The Notebook. For those of you who don't know, when I was in college I worked at a video store so I was able to rent movies before they were actually available to the public. Well, one weekend I went to Lawton to see Erik and brought along my early release copy of The Notebook because my DVD player was broken. Erik, still trying to make a good impression because we'd only been dating 3 or 4 months, agreed to watch it with me. Well in true Sheena fashion, I started crying about 20 minutes in and didn't stop until the movie was over. For 2 hours he sat through me sniffling, crying, eating candy hearts and repeating the process. It's a wonder I didn't scare him away. A couple weeks later was Valentines Day - he gave me my own copy of the move, and a DVD player, probably so I never had to put him through that again. Hah! Those days seem like so long ago right now.
In other news, it's been pretty chilly today. If you don't laugh, I'll tell the temprature. About 72 degrees. Seriously, I'm wearing my flannel PJs right now - when did I become so pansy?
I can’t remember all the times I tried to tell myself
