Jun. 30th, 2004 01:14 amI just got back from the movies. Well, okay, I spent an hour in the kitchen or so. But I went to see Dodgeball with B, and had a good time. I'd been sitting in the kitchen reading the newspapers, and teasing him, and I'd gotten down to the movies page and saw an ad for Dodgeball. "Oh, I really want to see that," I said. "Okay," he said, "When do you want to see it?" And I kinda paused like a deer in the headlights thinking, "What exactly is he saying?" And I put the newspaper down, and he was looking at the movie section for Boston (I had the NYT), and he said "There's a showing at 8:25 at Boston Commons."
And I really shouldn't have gone. I don't have the money to be throwing it around like this. But...but I never get to do anything with people when they go out. It's not the dates or lack thereof that bother me. It's the fact that I can't go out with people in the house who go get pizza or out to a bar or anything. And I'd gotten rich enough in DC that I could, and that I could throw a ten in the pile even if I only owed 6 or 7, and I miss that. It's really the hardest thing to adjust to--I accept that I don't have enough money for buying clothing or fun things or anything that I don't strictly need. but I keep forgetting I can't buy a CD now and then, or eat out, or spend little bits of money here and there.
So I went.
I grabbed my cash and walked across the park, and talked and bought our tickets and I told him how long it had been since i'd been to a movie with a boy. (12 years, next week, for those keeping score) and we sat through, oh, say 30 minutes of some of the worst previews of. It was like a list of movies I don't ever want to see again--Without a Paddle. Alien vs. Predator. And. To freak me out, some preview with Enya's Far and Away playing. Guess what movie I saw 12 yrs ago? :)
The movie was good. Not great. I did think there were some fabulous jobs by the supporting roles. And really, even the main characters. Slimy, yes. And is Vince Vaughan like the tallest person ever?
