Midnight - part I
I did it! Me, Myself, and I headed over to the movies theater at a little past midnight. I joined the throngs of fifteen year olds and their parental chauffeurs. I went back and forth - should I go, shouldn't I? The reasons I shouldn't: I had to work this morning and the movie got out at 3am, I wasn't really waiting on pins and needles for the film (in fact, I didn't see the last Harry Potter until it came out on video), and ultimately it seemed a pretty ridiculous thing to do. The reason I should: it seemed a pretty ridiculous thing to do!
You know when you are in a crowd - a big and excited crowd - you just feel that energy. People were clapping through all of the previews (well, booing and laughing for BRATZ), cheering through kissing scenes, and just generally having a great time.
The movie was alright - it just can't compare to the book - too much to squeeze in. But, I felt young and alive. You know, frivolous and silly. I've decided that life is more fun when you have something to get excited about - and if it means Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix at midnight - so be it.
Oh, and I should mention, in the end, I was even able to pass by the big car line up and drive myself home!

WOW i cant believe you had time to do that last night and post a blog about it! dang girl you are wild
So true. Dumb fun is what makes life worth living. Or at least putting up with.
Wow! what a wild and crazy think for you! Glad that you finally elected to go...dare you tell me what tipped the balance in your decision making dilemma? Wish I dared to join you.
Fun! I always think I'd like to see the midnight openings but then chicken out.
I just finished the book yesterday, and was thinking there's no way the movie could ever quite do it justice. It's just too long and detailed. Still excited to see it!
I would have gone with you! I'm always up for midnight movies ... and popcorn!
i just barely saw the movie!! My Harry is growing up!
