Oh boy, its Sunday. Why can't it just stay Saturday for a little longer? Can't we just postpone school for a little while? Maybe I can trick myself into thinking its Saturday...
Saturday was so much better than today. Today I just feel like crap. The shower made me feel better, but then I had to finish The Old Man and the Sea for English. It wasn't a horrible book but it wasn't something I'd pick up and read either.
Yesterday was a humorous day because I felt like I was hungover from the sleepover from the night before. Don't worry, I wasn't hungover from adult beverages, I was hungover from extreme lack of sleep (we stayed up till three in the morning or something...) and all those three musketeers I ate. They're considered a light candy, three musketeers, but man, I ate so many it felt like there was a cinder block in my stomach. I had a great breakfast that morning, not great nutritious wise, but good all the same. My best friends parents are great and we had waffles with strawberries and whipped cream and maple syrup. It was so yummy..... It made me really happy for the rest of the day.
That sleepover, Friday night was something. We went to go see New Moon, me and five friends, and then we slept over after. We went to the theater like 1 hours before the movie would start because it was such a popular movie and I couldn't believe it, there was already a line! and here I thought we'd be the first ones. OK so, waiting in line, one would figure that would be a boring task....well not for us. So, here we are after getting our popcorn and candy stuff, pretty normal. The thing was, we got a large popcorn to share and ya know someone had to hold it. Well when your holding a large popcorn and your candy in the other hand its like pure torture because you've got this popcorn staring you in the face and you cant eat it because you've got no hands, or at least thats what a sane person would think. The person holding the popcorn, wasn't completely sane and we knew if we left her to her own devices... she would stick her face in the popcorn bowl and eat the popcorn. That would not be a pretty sight so... the insane friend suggested someone feed her. It was made into a big spectacle, dropping popcorn from a foot above the persons head to see if she could get it into her open mouth. 99% of the popcorn didn't make it. It was funny cuz when we first got in line there was popcorn all over the floor, it wasn't ours and we're thinking "geesh, who made the big mess" and then after we got there and wreaked havoc it looked like a popcorn machine had mysteriously exploded and we were all ankle deep in popcorn. We were laughing our heads off. We were laughing even though there were those people around us who would turn their heads and just give you that witchy glare like "psh, look at those freaks, I'd never do that in my life" and we were thinking "yeah well I've bet you've done something far crazier" and we just kept laughing. blaugh
There were sooooo many people waiting to see that movie and I don't know who's bright idea it was, but they decided to make everyone bunch together and make the line real wide. Then, when the doors were opened, there was this gap between the line and the actual theater. Well guess what, when those doors were opened, everyone just surged forward out of control like they were running to get a free dvd player from walmart on black Friday. My friends and I formed this chain and we managed to make it into the theater in one piece. It was a miracle.
Ok, so finally.

We were in the theater.

We got good seats.

Now we just needed the movie.

"Psh no, wouldnt you rather see five thousand previews of movies you probably have no interest in whatsoever?"
"Uhh no."
"Well, you have no choice, you're just gonna have to keep staring at that screen, cuz don't you want to get what you paid for? You have to keep waiting, and we'll only show you what you want to see when we see it fit!"
burning_eyes Gosh darn it! I hate previews! I mean, their ok when ya know, maybe you see something that interests you, but this time there wasn't anything that even kept me remotely interested. Then, when it finally gets to that please silence your cell phones screen, you have to wait another twenty minutes cuz the guys up in the projector box are really slow and they think you are too and they believe you need a half an hour to shut off your cell. And finally it comes to "oh yeah, we have to put that movie on" thats a real forehead slap for ya isn't it? Yeah, and thats my take on the theater experience. No, its not just the $8 popcorn, its the painful previews and the rush of so called "drug-free America" acting as if their life depends on getting inside a theater first.


biggrin I salute you moviegoers!
