rant

Well, I read all the Twilight books, back to front, times two. I absolutely LOVED all of them. I cannot wait for the first movie to come out on 11-21. My husband and I are going together to watch it. It’s going to be our date night – which brings me to one reason why I’m irritated. However, I don’t want this rant to take anything from that. I truly LOVED reading those books.

That being said -

I have friends *(not from work) that I have gotten into Twilight as well. They want to go see the movie also – which is great. I’m happy for them. However, I have told all of those friends that this is mine and hub’s date night. I suppose, to them, that doesn’t mean as much. To us, it’s a time where we can be alone with just each other. It’s when we splurge – for once – and enjoy our rare, unblemished amount of time where we don’t have to interact with anything or anyone else.

To be honest, I don’t think that’s selfish at all, especially considering how little we get to do it. For instance, I got to go to Charleston with a friend this past Saturday, and hub couldn’t even come with me.

I even brought up the fact that we’re going as our date night. Later on, one of those same people says something like, “yeah, we’ve all got somewhere to be on November 21^st, don’t we? Aren’t we all going to see a movie?” Poke, poke; jab, jab. Well, no, we don’t… like I said before, I am not joining a group of folks. We want to be alone. Simple as that.

So, the basic the gripe is that I have told them over and over that this is going to be Josh and me alone. Obviously that’s not going to stop them from going to see it on their own, even at the same theatre. It shouldn’t. That WOULD be selfish of me.

Sometimes, I am oversensitive. Many times, in fact. I don’t think that’s true this time I have explicitly stated that hub and I want to be alone that night, and I keep getting ignored. I just think it’s a little annoying when people push themselves on others and invite themselves to places.

Grr.
