Roomie likes sitcomes all day,but I am a movie fanatic. I usually watch movies on my phone. But tv guide lets me know when there is a good movie we both will enjoy watching. I read the list off to her. We have so much fun laughing together,making comments,or being scared or perplexed. We answer each other's questions. What did he say? Who is that? What is happening?

And most importantly we do not mind talking during the movie except sometimes we say ssshhhh, just a minute, good naturedly. And one of us may say to the other,Wake up for this!!!

We have gained a reputation with the CNAs. They come in asking what we are watching. Once in a while roomie will ask for them to postpone putting her into bed until the movie is over. Or they come in and see a good movie they liked watching. We both say Don't tell us!

Recently we have watched suspenseful or scary movies as stations show them for this month of Halloween. We do not like horror. We tend to like the same movies. One CNA kept running in laughing and saying it was fun to see our reactions. She said she is bringing us a movie we said we wanted to see. Other CNAs gather in to see the movie and chat. I ask them to pop my popcorn in the microwave.

We have a reputation of getting along and taking care of each other,roomie and I.

I know we irritate each other sometimes but we both swallow it,not wanting to hurt the other over petty stuff. We ask is tv too loud and try and be considerate.

It sure is amazing how movies bring people together, bring happiness,opens u] new relationships. In fact the CNA who offered the movie, and was talking to me so much that day about the movie, is one I felt was cold and standoffish towards me. Another one has visited me and been helpful even when he is not my CNA.

I think watching a movie together has helped Roomie and I get along,and endure a mood,changed a mood. I am amazed how movies have brought us together and opened communication which has spilled over into other areas of interactions.
