the closest i EVER want to come to a star trek convention
i haven't blogged in a few days and that is mostly because all week i've been trying to catch up on sleep from the midnight showing of "lord of the rings." let me begin by saying, i didn't realize what i was getting myself into until the moment we stepped into the theater 3 hours earlier than the movie thinking we were fairly early, but saw the mass hordes of people already in line. the people looked like they had been camping there for days. i'm talking, airbeds, camping chairs, people watching "fellowship of the ring" on DVD on laptops. it was so insane. they finally let us into the theater a little before 10pm and as those two hours wore on, the insanity just kept multiplying. we started noticing the people who were dressed up like they came from "middle earth" and andy even saw people who were trading lord of the rings cards. we felt like such freaks. i couldn't even believe it..... but, the movie was amazing. it was super good. and my boyfriend, legolas, was actually worth sitting with all the nerds and feeling like one of them, just to watch him. i'd imagine there are very few movies that i would actually go to at midnight and sit through for 3 hours without falling asleep, but i didn't get anywhere near falling asleep. really, it was that good. and again, i realize i sound like a big, fat nerd when i admit stuff like that... but who cares.
i'm so glad next week is going to be pretty slow. this past week was pretty crazy because a bunch of people at my work are leaving for the entire week next week, and some are even going to be gone for the next two weeks, so they had to get everything out on Friday before everyone leaves. i may not even have to work on Christmas eve which is really good. eh, i don't feel like blogging anymore.
