ok GOING to update now..*laughs*

LotR: Return of the King was fecking AMAZING omfg. When something knocks *both* Britt and I utterly speechless...you know it's big. *G* wow.
Getting there was a bit of an adventure tho...*giggles*
Midnight showing.
Last bus into town leaves at 9.50, so Britt and I were gonna catch that, go to WalMart and kill some time, then walk to the theatre.
9.40, we start getting ready...then out of nowhere it's 9.48 and we're like
FUCK.
So, we ran like heck across the field to the bus, were out of breath and panting and DYING when we got there..and then it left like three minutes late anyway. 9_9
Chatted with the busdriver and sang along to Christmas songs on the radio, and it was fun. Got out at WalMart, and I don't know what possessed me to check my pocket to make sure my $20 was still there, but...
...yeah.
It definitely *wasn't*.
And Britt and I just started *laughing*, we couldn't stop, it just...wow. *laughs*
So we called Jen and she was a dear and picked us up, brought us back to campus, Britt made a brief futile search for my money while I ran in to grab *another* $20...
And we started walking. *giggles*
We went under the big clock tower just at 11 o'clock tick tock, and I don't know what it was but we made MAD good time - what's typically about an hour's walk, we did in *30 minutes*. w007. *G* It was chilly but not cold, drizzly, enough to soak my hair completely but not the rest of me at all...
So we get there and get our tickets and head into the bathroom, and we're talking, and this woman we've obviously never met was in there as well, asked where we'd walked from, we said the campus and she was like whoa. *giggles* Asked if we were walking back, said yeah, it wouldn't be so bad, we did it in far worse conditions last year. *g*
And she said that she was there with her husband and son and wouldn't mind at all taking us back after the movie!!!! ^__________^
People rock. ^_^
So, went in, saw the movie, I will say nothing specific so I don't spoil anything for anyone but omfghueihfiu;ds MAD awesome. And I was *so* glad, cos I'd had some major issues with things in Two Towers, and RotK has always been my favourite of the three books, so I was *really* hoping they'd do it well.....and goooodness did they ever, Minas Tirith is *gorgeous* and the shots and the music! omg Billy Boyd *in awe..you'll see why* and just...wow. Blown away.
3.30am, movie ended, we got a ride back which was awesome cos it'd gotten fairly cold out and it was late and all, and the people were reallyreally nice, it was great. ^_^

But yeah, am back home again... went out to the antique/craft co-op with Mom and Mel today and it was mad fun as always. ^_^ I have done more baking than has ever been done at once in this house, I think. *giggles* Two dozen chocolate chip, a little more'n two dozen jam-shortbread ones, somewhat more of these chocolate-peanut-butter ones, a batch of lemon bars, and like 4632789 Christmas cookies. ^____^ It's awesome. Most of the decorating is done, I got the tree all finished up tonight, the candles all still need put in the windows and the rest of the smaller decorations need put around the house, but that'll get done tonight/tomorrow.

And I am SO relieved cos I've thought ALL this time that Christmas was *Wednesday*...and it's SO Thursday. w007! *laughing* I don't even know, but, I need all the time I can get to finish things up... *giggles*

And best of all, things are cleared up pretty much with Megs again. ^_________^ *super-HUUUUUUUUUUGS!* Love you. ^_^

Tomorrow night: LotR with the usual lot of people, and then caroling at Britty's! ^__^ Note: anyone who'd like to join is more than welcome. ^_^
