A Weekend Post!

Last night, Matt and I discussed cool things we could do with this blog and we decided that it shouldn't be limited to just Wednesday Writings. So I've decided to post the first ever weekend post!

So, we saw chronicles of Narnia last night after the basketball game. It was AMAZING! They stuck to the books very nicely and the scenes were all very well done. The white witch was super creepy and had neat dreads. What amazed me was how close the scenery was to how I pictured Narnia in the books. Me gusto mucho. I'm pretty sure Matt liked it too, although we spent the whole movie making fun of the characters, lines, ect. I make sarcastic comments with almost every movie I see, even if I really like it, so this wasn't out of the ordinary for me. I think Matt might have this tendency too, because he was a willing participant when we saw I Heart Huckabees and Narnia. What else happened? Let's see . . . Matt felt unmanly because I paid for him (we didn't know we were going to the movie tonight and he didn't have any money with him) and gave him a ride. I secretly thought it was funny but was just happy he could go.

While we were at the movie we saw my Half-cousin Danielle. She freaked out when she saw us together and I'm pretty sure she thinks we're dating now. We arn't of course, but it's hard to stop people thinking that after a rumor has been started.

As we were driving back to the school to get Matt's car, we talked about the movie and getting drunk with a mutual friend. When we got back to the school, we had some fun playing around with the parking lot lights (which are timed, not sensor activated as we originally thought) and running around like idiots. At about 12:00 we finally left.

Anyway, I had a lot of fun. Lately, when I hang out with Matt I feel like I need his approval. This is a new feeling for me because I don't really seek approval from people. I mean, everyone seeks approval in some areas of life, but this is different. It goes much deeper then just wanting him to like me. I used to think it stemmed from residual thoughts that he hated me, but I know that's not it. I don't feel tempted to change or to do or say different things to get it, but it bothers me because I don't know what causes it. To quote Pride and Prejudice, "I cannot bear to think that he is alive in the world and thinking ill of me". This pretty much sums up how I feel, though the context of the quote isn't very helpful because the reason Elizabeth feels like that is because she is in love with Mr. Darcy. Point being, last night I just felt relaxed and happy instead of tense about the whole approval thing and I had a good time.

Well, I have to go do some Christmas shopping, so I must be off. Have a nice weekend everyone!
