I Am Soooo Too Old For This!




Ok, I was not into the whole Twilight book thing until a friend recommended the books about a year and a half ago. I was out of reading material at the time and so I thought I would give it a go. I am not a big romance book fan, but this was a little different. So I was pulled into the saga. So when they all decided to go to the midnight showing of "New Moon" last year, I was a little disappointed that we would be out of town. Our notorious leader, Q asked me to make some necklaces with a "moon" theme. I did and they all wore them and T-shirts and waited in line all day for the midnight showing of the movie. So I wrote that to write this...
As some may know the newest film "Eclipse" came out at midnight last night and this time I was able to participate in our 13 person (yeah, weird I know) group going to the premiere. I wasn't able to go early like my friend and a few others, after all I have kids under 13. So I arrived with another friend around 6pm to find them first in line! We got into our little cozy square of line and waited till 7pm. Oh, wait, I didn't mention that we had special tickets for a "Twilight" marathon! So at 7pm we were to see "Twilight" then at 10:30 "New Moon", and then finally the new one, "Eclipse", at 12 :15. Ok, now Tina (sis) and I used to go at 11am to a particular movie theatre and see all the movies, by just going into whichever one started after the one we saw. We could see anywhere from 4 to 5 movies in an afternoon and into the evening! No problem...then anyway. Now, is a bit more difficult. I am prone to headaches and one movie is usually all I can handle. I was aware that there were three so I drank A LOT of water, and took a few Advil before even setting foot into the theater. I have to say I did ok, I dozed a little during the second movie (I had seen it already), and we snuck out to Starbucks to get a half caf coffee around the half way mark. But my friend (who is the same age as me and arrived later) and I have decided that we would rather wait a week after the opening, go in the late afternoon, and have a good nights rest, instead of getting to bed at 2:30 am. YAWN.... So if that makes me old...so be it!
