Before I say anything let me say this... don't judge me! I'm not a fanatic.
Oh man, so last night I had my first ever girls night out as a married woman in CO.
It was quite an experience.
Some girls from my ward called me earlier this week and invited me to go see... you guessed it... New Moon with them friday night. And... I totally went! hahah. since Aaron and I are in the primary we don't have any opportunities to make friends with anyone other than the 3-4 year olds. I love those sunbeams, don't get me wrong, but I really hate the fact that I still don't know anyone's name in the ward after five months of being in the primary. sigh. So anyway, when I got called I was excited to actually get to know some of the younger married women in the ward.
Let me describe my friday night.
I got picked up around 5:10pm by A. Morby along with a few other girls. after a few introductions and giggles they showed my what I was to wear for the rest of the evening, apparently they all got dressed up for the last movie "twilight". I was definitely surprised that they had been thoughtful enough to bring me an extra shirt so I could match the group, even if it was SUPER cheesy.
The movie itself was surprisingly better than the first in my opinion. There were fewer parts that made me laugh out loud that really weren't meant to be laughed at than there were in Twilight. - like Edward running up the hill, like Bella's bumbling-stuttery speech, like Jasper's constipated facial expressions... the list goes on. I set my standards REAALLY low for movies like this so that I come out more pleased than I expected. It works. The atmosphere helped too. It was hilarious to hear girls scream whenever Jacob took off his shirt. oh girls.... I am so not like you, but you do make me laugh. I'm glad Aaron wasn't there, nor do I ever plan on watching any of those movies ever when he is around because I know what his reaction to it would be. This morning he told me that the Twilight books were to many girls what bikini editions of sports illustrated were to some guys. The way girls lust over the relationship aspect of the characters = how boys lust after bodies? I can see his point... but I really hate comparing the books to something so base.
Anyway, the point of this post was NOT to critique the movie or the books, because I could write a novel on that myself about all the flaws and awkwardnesses of the film. The point is, I had fun, and I'm really glad I went because there are some cool people in my ward and I'm grateful that they thought to invite me. (I really really missed Aaron though) by the time I got home he was already in bed. So instead of talking his ears off I settled for cuddling. :) He is way more real, interesting, easy to love, funny, intelligent, and perfect for me than any fictional character could ever be. So suck it Edward and Jacob!! hahaha
Anyway, if you want to know my real opinion about the books just ask me.
