I'm officially old

No it's not my birthday. I don't mean I'm old in a numerical sense, I'm old mentally.

Mom and I went to the movies today and saw "P.S. I Love You" (so good. I like wanted to cry the whole time becaues it's also sad). After that we went and bought food at the concession stand, then decided to go catch "Enchanted" (my 3rd time seeing it. But that is not my record number of times seeing a movie. That honor goes to "Beauty and the Beast" which I saw four times when it came out originally and then when it was re-released a few years ago with an added scene, I saw it again, so that makes a total of 5) since it was a shorter wait than it would of been for "Juno" which we were originally going to see. Anyway, some high schoolers came in and got in line at the concession stand behind us. I was annoyed so fast by them. They were standing way too close to us in my opinion for one thing. I mean seriously, you don't have to be right behind us. People could see you are next in line. To go with being close behind is in line, they were talking really loud since I guess everyone needs to know that this one is buying the candy and that one was going to get that combo and that they can just make the boys go get the refills on the soda. Then one of these girls saw someone they knew in teh line next to us and was like "OMG KACEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and they babbled on for a while then the one behind me was like "Ok. I miss hanging out with you! Love you!" and then went back to babbling with her friends that had kept talking while this girl was talking to Kacey or whatever her name was. I was really hoping they were going to any movie but "Enchanted" but nope, they showed up in there and I heard them talking during it. And I was in the middle of the theater and they were in the first 3 rows in front because the theater was pretty packed. Yes, we all know McDreamy and James Marsden are good looking but I don't need to hear you go "OMG HE'S SOO HOT!" everytime James comes on the screen.

Ugh. Honest to blog, I can't stand high schoolers that think they are the greatest thing walking on Earth. Perhaps I was like that, and if I was, please let me apologize for that now. I didn't realize quite how annoying that is until now. I don't recall if I was like the other teenage girls in the the mall talking about all the drama of he likes me, but he's dating her or whatever. I don't know. Whatever they are talking about sounds like a lot of drama. Pointless drama. If anyone asks if I have changed since I started college, the answer is yes. Drama is stupid outside of tv, people are more open, no one cares what you look like because people come to class in sweats and pjs a lot, and there aren't cliques. It's not like "I'm the most popular person at school" because the campus is too damn big for that. I almost want to scream Drew Barrymore's speech at prom in "Never Been Kissed". Let them know there is a whole big world out there and it doesn't matter who you knew in high school or what social club you were in or whatever. There's bigger things out there and in college, it doesn't matter anymore. Here's the clip I was talking about in case you haven't seen the movie or had no clue what I was talking about.



Another instance of being old for high school kids would be my evening with Cyndi at her school's homecoming. The girls in front of us were listening to Ipods, messing with their cell phones and making a huge deal about this one girl's ring that had something dangling from it.....Wow. How fancy. Something you get out of a quarter machine and Rite Aid. But it has something dangling from it! That must make it extra special.

Anyway, I apologize again if I was anything like that which now annoys. I guess it was only a matter of time before I stopped understanding why certain things were cool and found high schoolers annoying.
