Before commencing the reading of this post, please turn on Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. It will make it that more exciting.
A week ago, I had a date night to go down in the history books. Haha. So this weekend, I was a little nervous to head out of the house, especially after an afternoon that left me out of breath. All that worrying as it usually is, was for nothing. It was a great night! We went and saw the Host. It was mediocre as a movie, but still a good watch. A lot of the storyline was lost because most of it is internal dialogue, and you can only have so much internal dialogue in a movie. I enjoyed it though, it was better than a lot of movies I've seen. (Have you ever seen Hana? Don't. Dumbest. Movie. Ever.) Plus, ya know, it kinda helped the two guys were attractive. ;)
I got a bit upset during the previews for other movies though, because there was one that had the exact same plot line as a story I've been working on. Like, we're talking exact. I HATE when that happens! And it happens a lot. Like, this one time, I started working on a re-write of Hamlet from Ophelia's point of view and I was going to have it end where she didn't actually die, and she had Hamlet's kid. I saw it at the bookstore the next day. Or the time I was obsessed with Harry Potter and had only read through the first book and started my own spin off series, where letters were delivered by clouds and instead of magic people focused on telling the future. Then I read the third book, and THAT idea was taken. Or this new book I just found, that's a dystopia based on genetics and I was like NO!!!! That idea's been in my head for YEARS and I still don't have the ability as a writer to complete it and someone else finished it before me. NOOOO!
Rant over. It was a great night though. I sent Sammy an article I'd seen earlier in the day about making date night important, just to go into our advice for when we're old file, but he made tonight so special, focusing just on the night and each other and having a good time.
Guess what else? He didn't make me scream once when we were driving. Now that my friends, is impressive. I love my date nights and know that we'll always do our best to keep them important. And that we'd still love each other if we were caterpillar aliens invading each other's bodies.

Caterpillar aliens invading each other's bodies? I think I love you. HAHAH. So funny. Sounds like a super great date night. And that totally sucks about the movie thing. That's weird! Maybe you should do that for a living! I bet you'd be good at it. I mean, obviously. Also, I hate when that happens too...but with music. If I discover something great, nobody knows about it, then it becomes out in the open? K. That's a little different. But I Hate that :(
