I am so not grumpy today, I mean I just saw The Deathly Hallows part 1 at midnight, how can I be? But I'll go ahead and try this anyway. Oh actually I have a good one that relates to life right now.
Hate: Going to see movies the first night they come out. I realize I just saw the first showing of Harry Potter, but that's different and I'll tell you why in a bit. Anyway, seeing movies the first night they come out. Not cool. The theater is always packed, meaning no matter what kind of movie you are attempting to see there will for sure be at least one group of big disrespectful d bags who will ruin the movie going experience for everyone. And I did not just spend 10 bucks to go see a fucking movie only to be pissed off by a bunch of little shitheads that probably thought it would be HILARIOUS to robo-trip before going to see this movie. God I hate kids (everyone). I once tripped a kid for repeatedly running up and down the aisle during some movie...I'm pretty sure it was Blue Crush in middle school... It isn't just these kids that are ruining the movie either, almost everyone there will be whispering, munching their popcorn, having to go to the bathroom, putting their feet up on my chair, breathing heavily and whatever else people could possibly do to annoy me. I do it too, I like to comment to my friends while watching. But when there are that many people doing it, it is not ok. Also, in general I don't enjoy being surrounded by that many people. As we know, I like very few people, and when a bunch of strangers are around me and smelly and annoying me while I'm trying to watch a movie, I am not happy and it just increases my hatred of everyone. Just wait until the hype dies down a bit and you can see your movie in peace. The theater will be less crowded, you can put your feet up, you can whisper to your friends without bothering anyone, and you won't leave the theater wanting to stab some tween and feeling like you're going to hell. Now, the Harry Potter movies...tooottttalllyyyy different. People in there are nerds. They have been waiting MONTHS AND MONTHS to see this movie. They had to buy their tickets the second they went on sale, and got to the theater hours early to get a good seat. The second that little Harry Potter jingle in the beginning ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCNHVMIYqiA&feature=related ) starts to play, that theater is silent. No talking, bathroom, eating, breathing. Only laughing, gasping and crying, at the appropriate times. And that is why it is acceptable that I saw the midnight showing of Harry Potter. Maybe not on a socially competent level, but on a justifying doing something that I hate level.
Love: TV reenactments. My god they are the greatest part of any show. All I can think about is how hilarious it would be to be one of those people. And one of my favorite things in the world is seeing a pre-celebrity celebrity in a reenactment. It may be even funnier when the person who is telling the story is the person in the reenactment. Some of my favorite reenactment-full shows are A Haunting, I Shouldn't be Alive, Locked Up Abroad, must I go on? If you have not seen any of these shows, you are leading a sad, sad life. I'm telling you. They are the greatest. You will thank me.
LOVEEEEEEEEEE,
