Last week was full of things. Here they are! *throws*
The day after my last post, a Saturday, was the day of the grad party of my best friend Paul. I had been to a few grad parties a couple weeks beforehand, each taking place at the respective graduatee’s house. The first was the best of them. The next was just alright, and the one after that (same day even) was short for me, since I had to work. But this last one, Paul’s, took the cake. First of all, his wasn’t at his house, it was at a local ballroom. Waiters and everything, even a bartender who looked like he just hated being there. Awesome! It was awesome, actually. The other attendants were people of varying closeness to me, from pretty-good-friend to someone-I-might-have-never-seen-before. At any rate, this party eventually deteriorated into leaving and getting another friend, opening helium balloons, and three of us ending up back at my house to play Rock Band 2. It was fun. The best of the parties, imo.
Wednesday I and eventually around eleven others went to see Transformers 2. I didn’t really expect so many people to be going. I just got a call one day from Paul asking if I wanted to see Transformers 2 on opening night, which I agreed to, since we hardly get out to see movies anyway, and I wasn’t about to decline a trip on opening night. Tuesday at around 9 PM I got another call from Paul, telling me to be at his house. It turned out that another friend of mine, Mike, was picking us up. A third friend, Clinton, was waiting for us in the car as well. That’s four. Then we went to Mike’s house, where we met up with the rest of who would fill up nearly an entire row in the theatre. No names. Too many (plus I don’t exactly remember them all). At any rate, we were met with even more friends after we got our seats.
Then we waited. For an hour. Actually, after I switched from one end of the row to the other, waiting around became good fun. What was also fun was a delay in the previews, followed by a problem with the audio/video sync during the previews, and some of the beginning of the movie. But they fixed it, so it was good. The movie itself was pretty fucking awesome, aside from the unnecessarily high rate of penis jokes and humor like that. But that stuff couldn’t ruin the awesome that the movie had. Optimus kicked ASS! And face! And I was reminded of why I like premieres so much: the fans! The clapping when something exciting happens! One thing I hate most is when a movie has been out for two weeks and I’m just seeing it for the first time, and the other people there don’t give any shits. I almost always feel like applauding a movie after I see it.
The night I had after Transformers was pretty great as well. I need to end this post, so I won’t go into very much detail, but basically I sat around with some people I’ve only sort of met before and we hung out until it was daytime again, when those of us who were left went to Denny’s. Denny Wednesdays! Sounds good to me.
Oh yeah, I also got a new Xbox 360, it’s a graduation present, it might be broken and need returning, that’s it. Really.
