Vampire Party

So.

NEW MOON is opening on November 20th!

(See right there how I squelched my natural urge to add six more exclamation points? That's called self control.) (You're welcome.)

And since I love my vampires as much as the next middle-aged** mother of two, I'm thinking it's time for a party. We could meet up at my place for appetizers and cocktails beforehand and then carpool to the theater. (We'll find some designated drivers!)

I was thinking it might be better to wait until the second weekend after the movie release just to avoid all the sullen, salivating teenagers.

Saturday the 28th?

Cinetopia Theatre in Vancouver, Washington.

Any takers?

Anyone? Anyone?

Bueller?

If you're local (in the Greater Portland Metro) and interested, leave me a comment and I'll send you an evite.

** I swear that until I typed the words "middle-aged," it had never before occurred to me that I was, indeed, MIDDLE-AGED. Am I? Is 33 considered a middle-age? HOLY CRAP ON A CRACKER.

Still Edward is, like, technically over a hundred years old, so I'm clear.

There is a group of us middle-age mothers seeing the movie at Cinetopia next Friday night (7:30). If tickets are still available you are welcome to join us.

Um, I plan to live until I'm 100 so I'm not calling "middle-aged" until I'm 50. (I'm just 38 now and so far, no mid-life crisis!)

I would so join you, but alas, I live in Florida. Planning my own little girls night out to see New Moon. I CANNOT WAIT!!!! (There, I did the exclamations points for you!) :o) I am very excited.

[Jaime]

I don't think we can be considered middle-aged until AT LEAST 40.

[Brandy]

i'm totally down for that!

[taylor]

i love you... you are just so hilarious it always makes my day!

i live waaaaaaay to far to go with you, but i hope you have a blast!

[Ariel]

I'll be a salivating 20something going to the midnight viewing with coworkers, but I sure as hell won't be sullen!

[Anna]

Me (25) and my 24-year-old roommate say middle age starts at 40 and 38, respectively.

But really, it's whenever you start seriously talking about buying a little stand to hang bananas from in the house, or whenever your kids hit puberty. Kids in puberty would make middle-aged-people out of us all.

[Jamie]

Wish I lived closer...
however, I'm going to the 10:00am showing on the 20th while the kids are in school. Tickets already purchased. Whoo!

[Jamie]

Oh, and I concur with Anna---I'm holding out until the next generation can have kids of their own before I begin to CONSIDER myself middle aged!

[JMH]

SO wish I lived closer to you....oh well, my "cougar" friends (we prefer that instead of middle-aged :) !) are getting together to see it. CANNOT WAIT!!!!!

I'm with Jamie, I'm sneaking off to see it during the day on Nov. 20th while my girls are in school. While it's probably not very dignified for a 40 year old woman to squeal like a pre-teen girl, that's what I feel like doing at the thought of seeing this movie in less than a week!

Speaking of vampires I read a book last week that I thought you might like. Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs by Molly Harper. It was an easy read and definitely amusing. I've got the follow up, Nice Girls Don't Date Dead Men on reserve at the library and hope to get to read it soon.

So how is the Outlander series going, are you making any progress?

[morgan s.]

Manda, I can go with you! Wheeee!

[Me]

I disagree with Anna - kids in puberty does not make you middle aged. My girls are 15 and 12, I'm only 32 - NOT middle aged!

Bought my tickets several weeks ago for the 10pm showing on the 20th! :)
