Feb. 15, 2008 - Day One of Age 17 - Already being picked up to go on co-ed outings!
Just kidding. Kind of. I've never been picked up by a friend and her [ex?]boyfriend and gone to the movies with them. ha.
But really. I get a phone call from Kiaya, and she's like, "Hey, can you come to your door?" I'm like.."Uh...okay. Why?"
"Just come out." I hear her whisper "HIDE!" My mind automatically goes into panic mode. I walk into the hall, and I see she's laughing. I keep talking to her over the phone, and I'm like, "What's going on? I heard you say 'hide'. I'm not coming out there" She starts cracking up. I'm like, "I see you laughing" making her laugh even harder. I stand a couple feet away from the door, turn the knob, and push it open. She catches it, and when nothing happens, I get out of "ready to lunge away" mode and just look confused. She then says, "This is Tristan". I'm like, oh ok. haha. I remembered that she had said they were getting together today. We talk in the doorway for a little bit, I learn that he loves the Beatles and that Ringo is his favortie, he loves David Bowie and is wearing a shirt from his clothing line (I ask, "Since when does David Bowie have a clothing line?" And Tristan answers with the exact length of time. Which is a bit over 3 months. He was more exact than that, however. haha)
My mom comes to the hall and asks them to come in, they do, and we chat for a little bit longer. Then it's suggested somehow that we go to a movie. I think we were talking about movies. ha. Ironic. Not. XD We decide on The Bucket List, and which theatre to go to, and I go find out what time it's playing. What luck, it was playing at 7 pm. It was 6 pm. Kiaya makes a deal with me that if I buy Tristan's ticket, she'll buy me some Starbucks. How could I turn that down? haha. jk.
So we go on our way, just laughing and whatever. I get my drink, we navigate to Chunky's, get our tickets and we each try to play that stupid claw game. You know, where you try and grab a toy with a cursed claw that never lets you win? Then we went into the theatre and waited. Movie begins, and geez, it was in too much wide-screen, so DURING the movie, they fix it. So it's totally unfocused (like, nothing is legible) and then it's blurry, and then it's clear. About a minute.
And the movie goes on. I agree with Kiaya. It gets about one thumb. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman do a really good job. There's some stuff I didn't care for, but of course, most of it came from Nicholson. But the ending was totally sweet. Kiaya and I were both in tears. Then we headed out of there. Kiaya had to get home.
But it was really fun, and it was nice to finally get to meet Tristan and hang out with Kiaya.
I loved that Kiaya dropped in. I wouldn't want just anyone to drop in, but K is always welcome. I'm also glad I got to meet T. It's cool when spontaneous fun happens.
Ex-boyfriend now. But that's a good thing and he's cool with it. =D
I'm so glad you could hang. <3 Tristan was glad too. We all had fun and things got accomplished.
And whoaaa, I'm single now. Thank you (no seriously) for saving me hours of awkward silence. I love you girl.
