One phrase. 3-D. When the filmmakers decided to make My Bloody Valentine in 3-D I don’t know if whoever suggested it at the board of directors meeting was just joking like ‘Fuck, we might as well put it in 3-D if it’s THIS bad’ or not, but…wow that movie was horrible. It was good in the sense of a date flick where you wanna be freaked a little and cling to your partner (I’m the one in the relationship who lowers in the theatre seat thank you very much), but other than that obvious notion you find yourself looking for when you purchase the tickets, there’s nothing special about this movie. Same ending as high tension, main character equals killer in some psychotic manner, same stereotypical frights, strategically placed gore, and obnoxiouslly naked women as any other horror flick trying to stimulate the sales in the movie business.
-     Only difference is:
a) It has Dean from Supernatural (he’s SUPERNATURALly sexy haha);
b) it’s in 3-D (which I had to keep reminding myself throughout the movie because I could have sworn from me and Al’s angle it just looked like the ENTIRE screen was pushed forward when you had the glasses on, and not a single thing in the film was digitally made to pop out at you, CRAP);
and
c) the storyline was so bland and chalk-full of stuff the audience never gave a crap about, that compromising oral sex bets* on who the killer ended up being was a better solution for spending eight dollars on that crap film (and keep in mind, movie theatres refuse ticket refunds past the thirty minute borderline of the film you’re seeing)

We ates at Al’s pizza, always great. Cheap too! Five dollars for lunch (yay)

Then to Lindsey’s for her going away party. I was kind of dreading today for that reason. It feels so weird that she’s…leaving…and I won’t be able to see her or visit her at Winn Dixie or whatever whenever. She’s actually…leaving. At the party we surprised her (her family and me, ron, audrey, who I just met today but seems pretty interesting and kind, and kelly) we ate some OMEGA chocolate cake from kelly’s work and just talked and talked and talked. Kelly’s changed a lot. Months ago she hung out with tons of people from high school and didn’t really seem focused. Now she spends time with very few of those people and is trying to figure out some kind of life goal. It’s strange. I guess I thought I was the only one going through the whole after high school life changing experience. It seemed that way. But, apparently, after talking to her about all our old friends and associates,

…a lot is happening in everyone’s lives. Allysson has kidney problems. Linds is going navy. People have lost touch with BFF’s. Forest is moving to Panama City. Brian has ditched the idea of college and is letting his mother guide him and clean after him even when he has moved out (I use the term ‘moved out’ lightly because one has to stop being totally dependent on their parents in order to be considered INdependent, which = ‘moved out’). Kelly might be going army or navy. Ashly is going army. Garrett is doing better after his father died on his birthday last month. Julia is at UF being successful and trying to figure out men. Leslie got pregnant from Kyle and they’re doing…whatever it is they’re doing. Love that was supposed to last ‘forever’ didn’t. Dreams were dropped and new ones picked up. Friends were dropped and new ones picked up. Everything. Everything, and everyone, CHANGED.

Then we talked about the U.S. economy and what the future might bring. Never saw that coming. People, who a year ago were so focused and upset about she said this and he said that, were now concentrating on global economics. Never. Saw. That. Coming.

I left a bit early to head to Ashly’s birthday/good luck celebration. I cried in my car before heading out though. On a sheet of paper on Lindsey’s fridge that everyone signed before leaving I left:

“I’m glad mrs. Cressman made me help you back in the 4th grade. Love you loads (Friends 4ever) – Jason”

…that’s how we first met. Still remember most of that memory to this day…I hope I’ve been there for her as much as she has been for me. even though I haven’t really realized it ’til now. I didn’t really need anyone else but her when all the troubles in my life occurred. Eric. Coming out. Gutch. Don. Everything. I wish I had known that before…

Ashly’s party was okay. I wish I had been able to speak to her more. Jeremy kept me company. I’m gay and all, but i can hold up a conversation about staying in shape forEVER. Don’t know why. I love my Ashly. I was too tired to cry for her leave, but I probably will tomorrow.

Got bored at the party and then left to complete the night with the usual rendezvous activities with the gang. Love ending nights with them. Especially long days like these…

Photos and out, later:

 

*I won** btw ;)

** ‘Won’ meaning I settled to call it a TIE because it’s more fun that way
