eclipse

i love love love twilight. shocking, i know. eclipse opened last night and i was so excited and had been waiting for this day for a long time. about a month ago hayley and i bought tickets for the midnight premier. we are a little snobby about what movie theaters we attend and we will only go to the university mall cinemark. it is very nice. we were there about a month ago to see another movie and i asked them if we could buy tickets for the midnight premier of eclipse. the worker (a teenage boy) looked at me and said they were all sold out. but he could get us into the 12:05 am showing. i looked at him and said uh yes, that is ok (you idiot - that is what i was asking for). we literally bought the last tickets for all fourteen showings they had starting at 12:01 am. he told us to hold onto our tickets because they were like gold. but we knew this.

the day finally came and we were so excited! hayley went to the theater around 6 pm to get in line. i had to work and then run home and do a few things so i didn't join her in line until around 7:45. when i got up to hayley there were only about ten people in front of her. awesome! we were going to have amazing seats. as we were sitting and waiting there were people walking by selling one ticket here and there for the nordstrom vip showing at 9 pm. we didn't want just one seat and didn't want to pay for those tickets so we said no. but then fate stepped in. at 8:45 this guy walked up and down the line saying he had two tickets for the 9 showing and wanted someone to make him an offer. hayley said we would pay free-ninty nine. he stopped to talk to us and asked if we wanted them. i said yes but we didn't want to pay for them. after a minute of talking he said he probably wouldn't sell them so he would just give them to us. seriously?! how awesome! but since it was so close to the start time we were worried we wouldn't get two seats together or we would have to sit on the front row. i went into the theater to scope it out and found two seats on the side of the third to front row. not ideal but it would mean going to bed at midnight instead of 3 am. much better. so hayley got out of line, put our stuff in her car, and joined me in the theater. after she got there i went out and sold back our 12:05 tickets. so we got to see eclipse for free!!

i loved the movie. the acting was better. the script was better. things weren't as awkward. and did you see taylor lautner?! hello!!! my favorite part was when jacob looked at edward and said "i am hotter than you." the crowd went crazy cheering and clapping and i joined in. i loved it. it was so fun and i can't wait to see it again.... in a day or two.
