jaydk and drujan came over after work on Thursday and we had a little pirate party. Watched the first film, ate lots of takeout and got drunk, then headed to the theater for the 12:01am premiere at the AMC 25 (most comfortable theater in the city).drujan is at the theater now, but I bowed out of a third viewing in three days.)chenanceou is in town and I couldn't miss hanging out with her. Last weekend we had a Pirates viewing at drujan's place, which was very fun, although we ended up stranded there until nearly 5am because of the snowstorm.chenanceou, jerrymcl89, drujan, jaydk, and I) went to see Big Fish. I actually thought it was really good, which is rare for me, since I usually don't like movies that lack action or sci-fi. I thought it was very well done, very creative, and very sort of "heartfelt," in a real way, not a cheesy Lifetime movie way. Also, at the end, all four of us women were crying. Awwww. (I wonder if Spike redemptionists have a greater likelihood of getting emotionally involved in movies or TV?) Then we went to eat at GoBo, which has really yummy vegan food, so I was happy.
chenanceou, soulmate815, jaydk, drujan, villagechick, Jerry, Cascante (who posts on the gutter), and JodyE50 (who used to write fic as JodithGrace). It was a fun group. We gathered around 6pm and were there until after 1am, just hanging out and talking. We covered quite a few topics. I think the funniest thing was when we were all sitting around, conversing like perfectly normal adults, and then the topic turned to Buffy and suddenly we were all talking at once, loudly and vehemently. It was like, "oh, right! we're all extreme Buffy fans."drujan. I think we just need miggy and our Buffy-hating group would be complete. (And jaydk would be really annoyed). And it was great to talk to chenanceou about the numerous reasons Spike shouldn't have been given a soul. (As jaydk got even more annoyed. Sorry Jane!). Chen told me she has a t-shirt that says "Soul? Schmoul!" I want one!soulmate815, jaydk, drujan, and I are going to go see Pirates of the Caribbean again. (This is my third time). We keep planning all this other stuff: we're going to see T3 and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, we're going to see Shakespeare in the park, we're going to have a Johnny Depp movie marathon sleepover, we're going to watch AtS S1 DVDs ... instead we just see Pirates over and over. And, y'know, I really can't complain. That movie is fun.

wiseacress's schmoop written for eliade. Read it here. Some silly people I know don't like to read wiseacress's fic because it's too dark, so if you're one of those people, try this anyway. It's sweet and in-character and fun and entertaining; not too angsty at all.jaydk, soulmate815, and drujan. (Isn't it cool how I met these people through online Buffy fandom, and now we hang out and do stuff together? I can't get over how neat that is.) I loved the movie, which surprises me, since it's based on a Disney ride and all that. But Johnny Depp gave an amazing performance, Orlando Blood was very pretty, and the plot and characters were all quite entertaining.dizenchanted and hopefully I will get to meet up with many of my other old friends at the show. For those who don't know, U235 was my pre-Buffy obsession; they were a very talented electronic/industrial/goth type band who mostly played along the East Coast. I'm rather nervous about seeing ... some people ... but I will go anyway because I want to see friends that I haven't seen in ages. (And man, I so miss getting all gothed out and going to a show!)jaydk, queenofthorns and I are going to see Pirates of the Caribbean again, because queenofthorns missed it the first time. And I'm happy to see it again (Johnny Depp! Orlando Bloom!).jaydk and I are flying together, and we're staying with some people I know and some people I don't know, and I'm finally going to get to meet so many people that I currently only know online. I'm so excited. And I'm making a promise to myself to ignore anything stupid that JM says, forgive him because he's pretty, and focus my attention on the friends that I'm going to be hanging out with.
