19. Being protected at the cinema during 'scary' scenes

Now the natural assumption would be that of a girl acting scared so her love interest would hold her hands during the film. This is not the case (for one I have no 'Man' currently).
I am a wuss during films, I am not ashamed of it, it's just who I am. I dont like gory scenes where people are brutally killed, I do not apologise for this as it is who I am. My Friends (and Family) know this.
Today we went to see The Season Of the Witch (for once I agree with the reviews, it wasn't very good, although Robert Sheehan was, well it had it's moments but I'm glad I didn't pay to see it). Anyway I was sat next to my Little Sister and my Best Friend, this was particularly amusing as whenever a scary bit came up my Little Sister would reach to hold my hand- and not because she was scared -and my Best Friend would cover my eyes and put her arm around my shoulder (at one point during a rather gruesome death she covered my ears as well). Those who know me have this almost instinctive urge to protect me from horrific scenes, this is not the first time it has happened, in fact it happens all the time, even once during the viewing of a Bjork music video (Pagen Poetry if you were wondering watch at your own discression, I don't know what happens in it as my eyes were covered). Some people would see this as patronising but I think it's lovely that I have friends who would like to protect my mind from this harm, and it always makes me smile when they do.
