Well, I'm for sure 100%, don't-care-if-I'm-alone, going to see Lion King tomorrow. Obviously, this whole 'coming out in theaters again' is a big deal for me, because I love Disney so much. Helloooo! This is ME we're talking about. And of all Disney, Lion King holds a very special place in my heart. Always has, always will. I think it is the epitome peak of the Disney films, which is totally obvious considering the fact that they're re-releasing it in 3-D and it was number 1 at the box office. It got $30 million dollars in three days, while the second place movie didn't even make half that much. Just goes to show that even 17 years later, Lion King is still amazing.
Well, I'm going alone tomorrow. Am I upset about that? Yes. Is that going to stop me from going? No. This has been on radar since I first heard about this last May, and I knew I was going to have to go. But you know what? I d0 wish I was going with someone! For the memories! And being like, "Oooh!! Aaah! Memories" together. It's gonna be kinda lame-ass to go alone, because for me, half the fun is just reliving the movie together afterwards! Talking about what you liked, what you didn't like, what you loved, and even though I've seen this movie hundreds of times in my life, it's on a whole new level! The last time I saw this movie in theaters, I was 5!
I just quite honestly felt like such a loser for being like, "Hey! I'm 21 and I'm super pumped about a Disney movie! Who wants to go with me??? No one? anyone? No? Ok..." The cheese stands alone.
Times like this, I wish I had kids, so my Disney love could be justified.
I almost got to go see it with my Dad this weekend which would have been perfect! Like, beyond perfect! I was so excited about it, and looking forward to it for days (I mean, I was ECSTATIC just counting down the hours) but then Dad understandably had to change plans. I knew he was busy, I just don't think he understand how much this would've meant to me. It was me, Dad, and my sister that would go see 'Lion King' together in the theater and all that stuff, so it would have been kinda neat to do that all over again. Plus, I would've known, "Yes! I don't have to go alone! I want to share this experience with someone!"
I've just quite honestly been feeling really lonely lately, and this just kind of emphasized it for me. Just this evening, I sent out probably like 10 texts to friends in town being like, "Oh, hey! I'm gonna go see Lion King tomorrow, since it's the last weekend it's out, if you wanna join :)" And I waited... and waited... 8 hours later, I still never got a response from anyone. I seriously felt like such a loser! At first, I thought maybe they didn't send, but then one person responded and said they couldn't. Hey, I at least appreciated the reply!
This post is being a little longer than I planned.
I have never been to a movie alone before in my life. Ever. I mean, I'm totally going. No one can stop me. I will enjoy this movie like no other, and probably blog about my excitement tomorrow. I'm really super looking forward to it, but at the same time.... does not ONE person want to go with me? Am I really that lame-ass? I'm really trying hard not to be.
I just have a really odd feeling right now of excitement and sadness. I know I'm gonna love the movie tomorrow and just the whole experience, but what about the friend/family part of it? Even little things, like taking your picture in front of the poster, or in the theater with your 3-D glasses? It's not just the movie you go for: it's the experience with ones you love.
Sometimes, I forget who I've given this blog too. If anyone does read this, I promise, I'm not always so sullen about life. If anyone ever reads these things and takes offense, I don't mean anything against you. Sometimes I just say things on here to get it out of my system, no matter who might read it.
Ok, well enough of that. I am really really really really really excited. But because I am really really really really excited and don't have anyone to tell that to without feeling judged, I feel like a loser. Who says I have to end a blog on a positive note?
