Lost Rose bags on me for my use of hyberbole, but when it comes to New Moon: The Experience, I ....
LOVED IT!!
The movie may have been a little 'meh' for me, but seeing it with my friends was amazing. I honestly cannot recall the last time I felt so carefree - for reals. I was among fellow Twi-nerds, so there was no need to try to hide the depths of my Twi-depravity. My son was safe in the arms of his favorite babysitter, followed by his favorite superhero, "Daddy," so I didn't need to worry about him. Our tickets were pre-purchased, so no worries there. (And extra kisses to Lost Rose for taking care of that chore.) I got to have fun putting on silly purple eyeshadow and my carefully planned, casual, Twilight-worthy outfit. I got to eat yummy Rubio's takeout for dinner (which is not sarcasm - I do enjoy Rubio's).
How relaxing was it? I didn't even have to drive (OK, I drove to Lost Rose's house, but from there Still A Newlywed was our DD. You didn't think we were going to New Moon sober, did you?!).
Here we are in our Twitarded regalia. The baby-faced blond chick sandwiched in between Lost Rose to the left and me in the glasses prefers to remain anonymous, but we call her Stresser Mom. To her face. The gal on the right is Still A Newlywed, cause she kinda is - compared to us old hags.
I'm sure you see the Twitarded buttons, one on each side of my... chest... and I'm sure you can figure out where Stresser Mom actually intended us to wear them. I declined. And we have our respective Team [Hot Guy] buttons on, although a little tussle broke out between Lost Rose and Stresser Mom over who deserved to wear Team Edward. I settled that one by blacking out KStew's face with a sharpie on the Bella-and-Edward button, thus turning it into an Edward-only button. Shit, I'm brilliant!
We kicked off The Event by mixing up some mojitos and taking silly photos in Lost Rose's living room. We had Lost Rose's family as an audience, including her brother, who makes everything more fun just by being there. Then, two and a half hours before showtime and not a minute later, we piled into Still A Newlywed's car and roared off to the theater...
...where we were first in line and obnoxiously proud of ourselves! The chicks who ended up behind us *would have been* first in line, but they saw there was no line, so they went to get dinner. Amateurs!
Could we be any dorkier? I think not.
Stresser Mom and Still A Newlywed took off to pick up the Rubio's, and then we enjoyed a nice little picnic on the floor of the Edwards Cinema lobby. I can't explain why eating a lukewarm fast food burrito while sitting on dirty, psychedelic movie theater carpet was so fun, but it was.
Recipe for a good time: take four New Moon tickets, and add three flasks of rum.
We continued the drunkenness by adding rum from our flasks to our Diet Coke - thus leading to a bladder emergency for me later on.
A self-portrait of Lost Rose and me, in our actual theater seats, b-e-y-o-n-d excited to be there. You can't see it, but we're holding hands. OK, not actually in this pic, but we did throughout most of the movie.
Color me officially excited for Eclipse!
