Movies

DF and I share quality time together by watching movies.

Uh, well, it’s not really that we go to theaters or watch DVDs while sitting on the couch, but we play movies simultaneously on our own computers. Pretty weird, huh?

I find it kind of cool and romantic, in its own way. We open up our Skype cams then find a good movie to watch. When we’ve settled on a movie we just sit back and watch.

We always try to watch it simultaneously–we’re usually just seconds apart when watching. And we do wait: when one of us realizes that one of us is behind, we wait til we catch up to each other. Neat.

We have a particular preference for Disney animated movies, but DF will surely not admit to that. We bonded over The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and laughed while we did the rhyme, “Up, down, touch the ground, puts me in the mood. Up, down, touch the ground, in the mood for food.”

Later on DF will be saying, “I am stout round and I have found speaking poundage wise. I improve my apetite when I exercise.” Haha.

It feels a lot like we’re actually together. But we’re not. We keep hoping that one day we will be able to just sit on the couch, cuddled together with a DVD on.

I hope everyday for that, to be with him. It breaks my heart to think about it, having him, but not really having him.
