SATURDAY: Kevin, Shang, Jenny and I went to District’s AMC to get tickets for 7:45PM the next night. Shang paid the combined cost of 13 tickets for $141.50, which included 2 coupons for $7.50. Had some BLT Subway. No cilantro. $5. Toasted. Ate the whole thing. Cup of water. Couldn’t wait for the next day.
SUNDAY: NEXT DAY! Slept at 2 last night and woke up at 9:30, which was pretty weird, because the night before I slept at 1 and woke up at 12. Hopped out of bed at 10:30 after some light dozing and snoozing and did some laundry, while wasting all my time in between. I had to finish up my last lab writeup and start on the polisci paper, which I have absolutely zero idea about how to start. So we all had to wait and wait for Shang to finish his damn shower and it took an hour. He and Kevin came to pick me and Aithuan up to pick Simon up from Park West. We decided to all meet at In-’n-Out, but Bailey had to pick Ana up from Spectrum. So we waited. And waited. I found out today that In-’n-Out uses two slices of cheese, because we waited close to an hour and it took about that time for the cheese to separate. So I scarfed down my fries in the meantime, even though I still have my cough and will most likely pay for it soon. We waited some more and Susan finally called, so once I saw them get in line, I inhaled my grilled cheese and was done just after they came back from placing their order. So we were done and waited some more while some of them went to Trader Joe’s to get snacks. Then we were ready to go! I was squished into the middle with Aithuan and Simon, and they kept talking right in front of me and hassling me. I hassled them right back. We got to the theaters and the guy couldn’t even rip with the perforated line! Vanessa and I were not happy. So we got in line and hung out for a few minutes and they let us in. Some commercials started and Tashie came! We all waved frantically! Some of the commercials were hilarious! Like Cowboys vs. Aliens, which was weird enough already with the whipped balls James Bond without them showing the title. According to Aithuan, it was the last exorcism. The Red Riding Hood, Green Lantern, Green Hornet, Tron trailers made me want to watch them all, even though I had no idea what Tron was about except lit-up suits. There were ladies and other people all around us who started to get annoyed because we were all so chattery, but I’m happy we were mature enough not to whisper every single little thing to each other like with When in Rome, Shutter Island, and Ironman 2. So proud of us! I’m happy I got to sit next to Aithuan. He was as funny was I expected. There was a scene were things were really quiet and he meowed. “:O There’s a cat in here!” HAHAH! And when Harry and Hermione were dancing in the tent, he was all, he’s gonna get some tonight…..She’s not ready. LOL! Definitely will watch Part 2 with him again if he goes. I was sad I didn’t get to sit next to Kevin! The movie was excellent. For someone who hasn’t watched it before, it was possible to logically follow the plot, but I thought it followed the book too much. They didn’t really add anything extra, like in the 6th movie. That was exciting. Still, it was the best. Ana, Tash and I were crying 2 minutes in, when Hermione had to erase her parents’ memories and her adorable baby pictures. Hedwig dying, George’s ear getting cut off, though that wasn’t as well executed as it was in the book, Dobby getting stabbed as he was saving everyone from the Malfoy Manor were all parts that made me teary! )’: There were lots of scenes that alleviated the tension, like when George walked in with a toothbrush sticking out of his ear and said good morning to the making-out Harry and Ginny, and when Ron was brown-nosing Hermione when they voted to go to the Lovegood’s house. I know they had to speed everything up, but it felt like Ron’s leaving wasn’t a huge deal because he wasn’t gone for long. The Horocrux scene was really unexpected. Everyone thought it’d just be kissing, but they were half-naked. I get the symbolism and everything, but it was really really unexpected. She looks hotter with completely clear and blue-ish skin. Ana and Tash were so excited. The scene in Godric’s Hollow was good too. The snake part and everything. It scares me when a snake opens its jaws to eat the audience. Every time. I was so sad when the movie ended. I knew it was coming, but I was still so sad! Dobby dying was so depressing to end the movie at. When the credits rolled, Kevin stood up and was all, OH DOBBY! and everyone stared! It was hilarious! Aithuan was so depressed Cho Chang never showed up. Can’t wait for the second one.There was a big ball in the middle of the waiting area, and I took a picture of tiny Vanessa kicking it when we got out. I can’t believe after so much pushing and shoving we finally got 13 of us, except Mike and Jon and Cecilia, to hang out together. It was so hard settling on a day to work with Ana’s busy sorority schedule. Subway after, and since it’s Sunday, it was any footlong for $5 each! I got a tuna to make my breath stink and this time I remembered the cilantro. We stopped by Park West for a little and I saw all Simon’s roommates in person and I thought Kyle was a lot darker. Martin’s bed does NOT take up over half the room. Simon needs to stop exaggerating. I cradled my tuna sub back to my apartment, ate a quarter of it, saved the drippy rest in a box and it’s in the fridge now, waiting for me to devour it tomorrow morning before my 9 o’clock King lecture.
