Can it Get Better?

I'm hoping the answer is yes because I definitely don't want it to get worse. So last night we went to the movies as planned. We all went to the 7:30 show of the Matrix: Revolutions and my mom bought almost everyone's tickets and we had no idea she was going to do that. Katie, Tjon, Mike, Ben, Emily, Kate, Zach and me all went. It was really annoying though because Zach got off from work at 7 and his mom didn't pick him up until like 5 minutes before the movie started and I didn't know that until I called him from the pay phone because I lost the battle with Kt's cell phone.

So then my mom drove me over there and picked him up and we got there and my mom had previously bought his ticket so we just went in and then there was another delema... someone had taken Zach's seat so there was one seat left empty in the row and Zach sat down and for about 15 minutes I sat on his lap and finally Ben and Tjon finally saw I was very uncomfortable and put up the chair arms and squished down so I could actually sit. Even then I was pretty uncomfortable because I was in the middle of the chairs on the plastic snack holder.

So then I just wanted to get comfy in Zach's arms and even then there was a problem. Since the space was already constricted me trying to lay back put forth the problem that my legs were relatively long and about half the time I was changing positions because my knees were jammed into the back of the seat. So I sat there for another hour all twisted but I didn't really want to say anything because it would've been a couple of less mintutes I could lay back in Zach's arms if we got up to find two more seats. I was just annoyed that I went through all that effort, my mom bought everyone except Ben's ticket and they couldn't even save one more seat for me.

I fell asleep quite a few times and Zach told me after he realized that because I'd just stop moving for a few minutes. After everyone cleared out when the movie was done I stayed back in the movie theater with Zach and finally got comfortable and we were both thinking taking a nap would be a good thing. We thought it would've been pretty funny had we slept in the movie theater, or at least memorable. So about after 5 minutes or so we finally got up and walked out into the lobby and got comfy on the couch while everyone else was deciding what to do. We all wanted to do something after but we didn't know what and then there was the whole 'we're relatively young so we can't really do anything' thing. So then Rouman kicked us out and we were outside and it was really cold... probably around barely above zero, I know it was in the one digits and the wind didn't help. So we were out there about 10 minutes and we decided we were going to get in Ben's car so we walked all the way over to the side of the parking lot and my mom drives up. So then we walked to the car and I got in the back with Zach and just snuggled up in his arms and laid my head on his chest. Then my mom drove Zach home and I wouldn't let him get out so we sat in the back for about 10-15 minutes. My mom started doing the breaking and forward thing and then reverse and it was really funny because she was doing it to the funky radio music. So now I have to go because my mom's getting mad.
