I almost totally forgot to tell this fabu story of Oak and I going to see Along Came Polly.

So we were a tad late arriving to the theater. We made it to the movie during the previews still, but there was this group of 14 year old girls gaggling about the hallway.

Little did we know, they would come in and sit in front of us…. and the Saga begins….

Like, Oh. My. God! Where are we going to sit? OK so Lorrie you definitely need to sit next to Jessica because you have serious breath issues and Jessica has all the breath mints. Oh wait, but Jessica also has to sit next to Nikki because she might have to borrow Nikki’s phone to call her parents. Ok. Great. We all sat down now.

Oh my god, Dana just realized she forgot to buy popcorn! Ok everyone has to get up because Dana is sitting all the way inside. Wait, why don’t a few of us move over to those seats across the aisle, yeah that totally makes sense because then we can text message each other during the movie. Like, awesome!

(at this point, we are about 3/4 through the previews)

OK, wait. Jessica and Lorrie aren’t sitting next to each other now! Crap! Ok, so like let’s fix this. But wait, Billy is in the back of the theater! We totally have to go talk to him before the movie starts so he won’t think we are lame. OK, we can’t bear to sit across the aisle from each other. But maybe we can. No, we can’t. Yes… we can, and do, we are strong and we can discuss the movie over scotch later on.

OK. Dana is back. But she was sitting on the INSIDE! oh no! At this point the Canadian Moose from Brother Bear tell us to turn off our cell phones. Screw that! What if Billy or even hotter, Tyler, called. Oh my god. Tyler. SO HOT! Don’t even get me started.

Then out of NOWHERE comes this huge security guard guy. He tells us to all like sit down and be quiet when the movie starts. What-ever! It’s not like we’re in second grade or something, geez.

(and the movie begins….)

But THEN! Amy and Nicole arrived! Crap, now there isn’t any room for them in our seats. That’s ok, though, they’re going to practice their yoga during the movie by sitting on the floor. They told us the FUNNIEST story about Tyler in gym class. But we won’t go there.

So like, the guy told us to be quiet so instead of talking, we can totally text message instead! Luckily our phones glow in the dark.

Oops, Dana’s phone rang. Yes, Mom and Dad, I WILL be home at 8:30. Geez.

Oh my god…. *heart beating faster**…………………….. TYLER comes walking down our isle. Nicole couldn’t help but say “HI TYLER!” in the middle of the movie. It might have been during a quiet part of the movie, but really, everyone has to understand this is TYLER we’re talking about. What a hunk of precious middle school man.

Wow. Can’t believe that was Tyler!!!! **giggle giggle*** Wait, we better make sure our makeup is up to par in case we see him after the movie’s over. But, so we don’t miss crucial plot lines, we go in shifts of three, then we can tell each other what happened over text messages! Ha!

Then the LAME-O usher has the NERVE to come ask us to quiet down. We aren’t even talking! We’re TEXT MESSAGING! (Ok maybe a few words here and there and some giggles on the side.. .what-evah.)

Before we know it, the movie is over! We were so confused! Who is Polly, anyway? At least now we can discuss Tyler’s bulging biceps. We’ve been restraining ourselves so long! But, we did learn some new yoga moves in the process. That AND seeing Billy AND Tyler has got to be work $7 at least, right?
