my Friday night

So last night was my first real date since 1997! And he cancelled. Don't cry for me, I'm cool with it. He tried to reschedule for Sunday and I said I don't do stuff on Sunday and for him to just call me sometime. The fact of the matter is, I have no plans on spending the rest of my life with this guy, I was just using him for a date. Don't cry for him, either, this is a guy that dumped a girl he thought was really cool and great after 2 dates because she "still" hadn't slept with him. She managed to hold out for 2 whole evenings, far more than the girls he USUALLY dates. But, being a prideful creature, I didn't want him to catch me online, so I immediately called Mike. He, Angela, Breck and I got together, and I found myself going to see War of the Worlds, thanks to group persuasion. When I said I didn't have enough money, Breck said she'd pay for me, so how can you argue with that? So, War of the Worlds. hmmmm. . .you might like it, don't let me keep you from it. Mike LOVED it. I thought it was; boring, cliche, and long. And it was loud and gave me a headache. Maybe if it was about 30 minutes shorter I would have liked it. But the fact of the matter is, I kept checking my watch, and that's not a good sign. After I walked out, I was ready to say, "I guess that movie was okay," and happily move on with my life, but, since Mike loved it, there was to come an hour of critique and recap. Some fun. And think that's what really ended it for me. Don't get me wrong, I didn't like it before, that just made the feeling more distinct. But I did get to see the preview for The Chronicles of Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, and it looks pretty durn sweet. Much better effects than the one I saw some years ago. I loved that book as a kid, maybe I should reread it before the movie comes out. I also want to reread War of the Worlds, cause people keep asking me how close it is to the book, and I read it 15 years ago, so it's a little hazy in my mind. Anyhoo. I HAVE to take mom to Sam's now, instead of going to Kiera's like I planned (see previous entry), so I better get dressed.
