Cory and I watched "The Ring" last night. Extremely creepy!!! Horror isn't the first genre I pick out when renting a movie, but it's fun every once in a while. I'm a pretty big chicken after watching these movies, though. So after "The Ring" was over, Cory and I finished watching an Indigo Girls concert DVD we had also rented.

It's almost as much fun to watch a scary movie with someone who gets as freaked out as you. Cory deals with these things much better than me, although he did seem willing to go to bed at the same time as me and sit and read using a book light if I had insisted.

When I was a freshman at South Dakota State University, my friend Heather and I roomed together. We're both fairly chicken when it comes to scary movies. We rented "Silence of the Lambs" one Friday night and did that ever give us the heebie jeebies! After the movie was over, I remember us hanging on to each other and glancing over our shoulders as we went to the bathroom and went down to the dorm lobby. We both agreed that we wouldn't leave the other alone that night.

I thought for sure that creepy little girl from "The Ring" would invade my dreams last night. Nope. Instead I dreamed that it was the night before Leader Day, and I still didn't have an outline for the session I'm presenting. And my roommate for the workshop was Lars from Metallica. Not sure what that last part says about my subconscious :)
