A couple of 30 year olds with a 16 year old mentality

Yes folks, I am talking about Twilight today.  Every year that a new Twilight movie comes out, Denise, another friend/Twihard (Allison) and I get together and have a girls day out.  Our first movie to watch together in the Twilight franchise was actually New Moon. We weren't Twihards yet when the first movie came out.  In between the release of the first and second movies, Denise and I read the books (over and over and over again) and loved them!  We were (still are) Team Edward but have a huge amount of respect for Jacob-who is hot.  But since he is a teenager, we will call it respect (don't judge).  We found out that my childhood friend Allison also read the books and loved them.  She wasn't as crazy/immature about them as Denise and I, but she loved the idea of us meeting up to watch the movies in theater.  All three of us have kids and the idea of a girls day out was just awesome!!!  Denise and I decided that we would meet Allison in Lubbock (the town nearest us that is a good  meeting place).  We were bound and determined to have a good time that day.  We were pumped!  Denise had even ordered us Twilight shirts.  Hers had a feather on it and it said "Isle Esme"  and mine said "La Tua Cantante."  If you haven't read Twilight then google those two things to find out what they refer to.  Especially ISLE ESME-whoo.....  New Moon came out in November of that year and Denise still had a mask out that her son had used for Halloween.  It was an old man mask that was  very convincing looking.  Because of our state of excitement and level of immaturity, we decided to take the mask with us.  Once I drove into Lubbock, the mask went on.  We pulled up to the parking lot of the movie theater and the stares we received were great!  Allison met us there and it's a good thing we were early b/c women (and some gay men) were already forming a line at the ticket window to see this movie.  Finally, the suspense was over as we got into the theater and watched New Moon.  It was great!  So much better than the first (I realize that Twilight isn't every one's cup of tea-for those of you who do not like it, please just keep reading.  This is not, I REPEAT, not a Twilight blog!).  That same day Texas Tech was playing at home against the Oklahoma Sooners and had just beat them 41-13 (Raider Power) when we exited the theater.  We decided to drive down University Avenue (the site of Jones AT&T Stadium) and have some fun.  Allison sat in the front and put the old man mask on like a trooper!  Seeing the reaction of thousands of drunk Tech and OU fans was great!  I am sure someone thought we were just as drunk (sadly, I can't say that alcohol was a factor in our behavior-just us being us!).  After that we headed over to the mall to do some Christmas shopping.  Denise and Allison wanted to stop in front of Hot Topic to have our picture taken with the "Twilight" cut-outs standing outside of the store.  I am not going to lie, I was a party pooper!  It embarrassed me and I refused to be a part of such immaturity (I don't know why I made that decision at THIS point in the day-like I was above all of it or something).  What is even funnier is that right after that we headed over to Dillards b/c I (me, not anyone else) wanted to try on prom dresses.  Yes.... prom dresses....  I was 31 years old at this point in my life.  The chances of me going to prom at this point in my life were slim unless it was a.) as a chaperon or b.) something that could lead to my arrest and being added to the list of sexual offenders in my area.  Obviously the 10 minute reality/maturity check I had just had was gone.  Thankfully Denise and Allison didn't have a maturity check all day b/c we all grabbed dresses and headed into the dressing room.  The dressing room attendant was looking at us like we were crazy so then we started talking about how we had to find a dress for a special occasion.  I am real sure she believed us (eyeroll).  After we played dress up, I needed to run to Sears to look at a new power tool for my husband.  If you have ever shopped at Sears before, then you may know that they keep some personal information on you in their computer system.  Denise and Allison were standing at the check out line with me while a young, college aged man-child was helping me check out.  Now, I have up to this point changed the names of the people in this blog b/c for confidentiality reasons, but if I do this for this particular part of the story, it will just ruin the story and I wouldn't even be able to add it!  The man-child behind the counter had just asked for a home phone number so he could see if we were in the computer system.  I was happy to share it.  After a couple of seconds of searching he looked up at me and said "I have a woody."  Now, I know what you are thinking b/c it's the same thing that Denise and Allison thought.  Denise (remember that Denise has no filter!!!)  says "YOU HAVE A WHAT?????????!!!!!!!!!!"  I thought for a minute someone would have to pick us up off of the floor b/c we were laughing so hard.  And this poor guy was about as red as a fat kid on a hot summer day.  You see, my husbands name is Camillo (he is Hispanic), but his nickname is...you got it...Woody.  That poor man-child.  He was just trying to be professional and instead, it sounded like he was trying to act out his favorite porn/power tool fantasy (which makes me wonder if a guy really would want to live that fantasy out-sex surrounded by saws...hmmm...).  And do you think my non filtered BFF left it alone?  Oh HELL NO!!  She laughed and made fun of that poor guy until I finally had to tell her to zip it-ok, through hysterical laughter I told her to zip it.  And not b/c I felt bad for him, but b/c if she didn't shut up, I would have passed out due to lack of oxygen to the brain due to laughing so hard.  Finally, we got finished with the transaction and tried to leave the man-child with a small ounce of dignity (not sure that worked out real well for him).  At this point the evening was coming to an end.  We knew that all that had transpired that day, we would be sure and make it an annual trip.  We have since done it two more times and have another movie coming out next month.  I can't wait!  Oh, and when I got home and told my husband about what happened in Sears, he didn't think it was funny at all..  Go figure!
