:
Yesterday was full of emotional ups and downs. The day started out really well. I got up around 9, and missed the bake sale I wanted to go to, but Kathy brought me home Peanut Butter cookies anyway. I got dressed after I ate Reese's Cups cereal. Wore my Twilight outfit. Well, actually, I don't have an official Twilight outfit yet, but I am planning to get one together before the movie's premiere next month. So, yesterday's ensemble included: My Twilight cast shirt (including the bad guys, Victoria, James and Laurent), and my blue jeans. I should've worn my black ones, but I didn't know where they were.
While Kathy worked on getting Lexi up, I went over to visit the kitties at the Victorian. They are getting so big. Amu let me pick her up, and I played with her a little bit, before giving them all a little bit of attention. I cleaned their litter boxes, and gave them food and water too, before returning to the house. Lexi was up, and we left for Cortland shortly after the fact.
When we got closer, Kathy asked me and Lexi if we wanted to eat, and we both were hungry, so she dropped us off at Hill Top diner. This place one of my favorite things, and that's a turkey wrap. The wrap counter didn't have white wraps, so I tried a garlic one. I'm glad that my vampire muses don't mind garlic, because if they did, I did a good job of making them stay away yesterday. While we ate, Lexi and I chatted idly about different things. It was nice to have lunch with her alone. We seem to be doing a lot of that lately, and it feels really good to be able to spend time with her.
After lunch, we hiked (literally) up to the campus where the library was. When we got to the library, Sam was already in Kathy's office, so Lexi couldn't really use the computer, but I set up the laptop, and Sam and I talked about Gilmore Girls. It was nice to talk to Sam about it because I Don't think Lexi watches that show too often.
Loz-chan was on, but since we'd gotten back so late, and I'd have to pack, it was decided we'd not RP until I signed off, and we'd RP through texts. This is why I love my new cellphone. Mostly because it doesn't take me a million hours to type one message! It sure makes RPing over the texts easier.
I didn't really get to go to Anime Club yesterday because I needed to visit the seamstress so that she could make the adjustments for my Rosalie costume. That was cool, though, because she helped me sort it out, and decide what I needed to do for it to be ask accurate as possible. After that, Kathy and I went to Hallmark to take care of musical tickets for today.
I went into anime club long enough to see Jen and Bo, and to give them each a hug. Apparently they'd had technical difficulties after Gundam Wing, so I didn't really miss anything except the appearance of Duo! That made me a little irritable for a little, until we got in the car, and started talking about Murphy.
Sam is really very cynical about things sometimes, and I really havent' learned that. Basically, she said Guy was going to be pissed about Murphy, and he was going to whine and gripe about it, and that made me very nervous. I don't want Guy to be mad at me for bringing Murphy here to NY, but that was a part of the bargain of me leaving my family to be with Lexi. That I be allowed to have Murphy. And Kathy had already said yes to me about that, back in March. So Sam had me a little shaken up about that. But she wasn't in the car that long. We dropped her off at Gene's job. And it was off to Elmira, for the Twilight Soundtrack Listening Party!
Okay. So far you can see that I had a lot of emotions going on yesterday. I was hyped about the coming listening party, but a lot of other emotions were brewing too. One of the things that had been sitting in the back of mind was about Fred. I hadn't heard from him for a month, and I was getting antsy that I wouldn't be able to see him next Saturday. So, it was completely understandable, if not unexpected, that when I started listening to High School Musical 3's soundtrack, that I started crying my eyes out. Thing about it is, that High SChool Musical has always been mine and Fred's thing. He's the Ryan to my Sharpay. It's been that way since the beginning. So, I guess the idea that I wouldn't be able to have him here when I saw the third movie really upset me more than I had originally let on. In fact, I'm starting to wonder if that was the root of my hatred for the previews. Maybe in a small way, I'd been trying to forget about it.
After a while, I was able to calm down. I put the Jonas Brothers on, then listened to Paramore. Anything that wouldn't remind me of Fred was good for me. I was calm enough to really get butterflies once we hit Elmira! It was time to be with my fellow Twilighters!
We were ten minutes early for the party, but Hot Topic was full of us manic Twilight fans. As I suspected, there were a lot more Edward fans than there were Jacob fans, but I held my own pretty well, I think. To be honest, where that's concerned. I love Jacob. I do. I think he's a good friend to Bella for the most part, but I'm more interested in Jasper and the Cullens because they're world is seen so differently than our own. Alice has taught me a few things. But back to the party! I made a few new friends before the party was over. The soundtrack. OMG. The soundtrack is going to be SO kick ass when I have it on my Ipod in a couple of weeks. Lexi's going to get sick of it, I'm fairly sure. I LOVE the song by Rob Pattinson. (Robert Pattinson, for more formality. For those who don't know already, he plays Edward Cullen in Twilight). But it was neat to see more Paramore music besides "Decode". But there wasn't a single track on the CD that I hated. So that was good. I pre-ordered the CD some time towards the end, but I was sad when everything was over. Oh! I forgot to mention something big. I got a trivia question right.
"Twilight was born from a dream that Stephenie Meyer had. That dream became what chapter in the book?" And the answer was "Chapter 13". I only hesitated half a second. But I got it right.
Soon after the party, Lexi and I went to Waldenbooks, and I allowed myself to indulge. I bought the official Movie Companion for Twilight. Then we went to the Food court, and got something to drink. We ran into one of the girls I met at the Twilight party, and we started talking, and sharing, and having a good time. I learned a lot of fun facts from her, and the book. We had so much fun.
Then of course, Kathy came and picked us up. I was really reluctant to leave. It felt like I was in a dream, and that if I woke up, I'd be really sad again over Fred. And I Didn't want that.
Well, I'm glad we left, as it turns out. Fred called me on the way home. And we talked for hours last night. It felt really good. And for the record? Fred will be there on Saturday when I get to Baltimore. Last night was really a very good night for me. For the first time, I was able to listen to HSM 3 without choking up, and I knew things would be okay. Fred always makes things okay. *smiles*
When Fred and I finally got off the phone, Lexi and I talked and talked and talked about things before I had to get to bed. Today, we're going to a musical. I'm excited for it. And who wouldn't be? Musicals are fun. I'll write about that tomorrow.
