After all, Brian bought our tickets this morning and everything so we wouldn&#8217;t have to fall in line at the box office. We left Abuelo&#8217;s in plenty of time so that we could be at the movie theater by 3:30 pm, get our snackies and secure good seats.<\/p>\n<p>When I say good seats, I mean right smack dab in the middle. I MUST sit in the middle. I count the number of seats and everything. Yes, I&#8217;m psychotic like that. I absolutely can&#8217;t stand not being in the middle when I watch movies.<\/p>\n<p>So Brian goes, &#8220;Do you want to go get our seats?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At first I was like, &#8220;Nah &#8211; I&#8217;ll just wait for you.&#8221; But then I changed my mind when I saw the line for concession. I figured I had to get our seats before someone else grabs them. I gave Brian a quick kiss, took my movie ticket and headed to the ticket boy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you seating for Blade Trinity yet?&#8221; I asked.<\/p>\n<p>He goes, &#8220;Yea &#8211; but I need to see your ID.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you mean?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I need to see your identification,&#8221; like I didn&#8217;t know what ID stood for. What a dumb turd-bucket!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are you serious?&#8221; I was going to tell him how old I am but for some reason I can&#8217;t ever remember my age when I&#8217;m put on the spot. I hate that!<\/p>\n<p>So all I could say was, &#8220;But I&#8217;m [uh..] old!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I mean, how can you not fucking tell I&#8217;m over the age on 18? I&#8217;m almost 30! I have wrinkles! I have cellulite! Yes, I still have baby fat but I&#8217;m fucking OLD!! Ugh!<\/p>\n<p>He counters, &#8220;But I can&#8217;t tell that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>With a sigh of resignation I replied, &#8220;I don&#8217;t have my purse on me. I&#8217;ll have to go get it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who knows me knows that I NEVER EVER bring my purse anywhere that I go with Brian. If I have to bring my ID like when we go to a bar or watch a movie in the balcony I just give him my ID. Why the fuck would I want to lug around a purse when I know I&#8217;m not going to need anything in it? Brian didn&#8217;t tell me that I needed to bring my ID so I didn&#8217;t have it on me. We would have to drive all the way back home to get it and come back. What a pain!<\/p>\n<p>I return to Brian who hasn&#8217;t moved an inch in the concession line.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go get our money back,&#8221; I tell him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The ticket boy carded me and I don&#8217;t have my ID. We&#8217;d have to go back home and come back and I really don&#8217;t want to see the movie if I have to sit in BAD SEATS.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brian was pissed off because he really wanted to see the movie but he really couldn&#8217;t do anything because I had my mind made up. We weren&#8217;t going to see it because they had already upset me.<\/p>\n<p>He goes, &#8220;Did you stumble when he asked how old you were?&#8221; He&#8217;s alluding to a time during our cruise when I wanted an alcoholic beverage.<\/p>\n<p>It was at one of the bars on Lido and the guy carded me. Of course, I didn&#8217;t have my ID on me. I was in a freakin&#8217; bikini! When the bartender asked for my age, all I could manage was &#8220;I&#8217;m a.. uh.. uh.. How old am I, baby?&#8221; Brian still picks on me about that.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, he didn&#8217;t ask me.. I was actually going to tell him but I couldn&#8217;t remember how old I was again so I just said I&#8217;M [uh..] OLD! What a fucking douchebag!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can&#8217;t believe they carded you. They never card us. I guess if we would&#8217;ve gone in together, you probably wouldn&#8217;t have gotten carded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Of course, they&#8217;re not going to card me when I&#8217;m with you! YOU HAVE GRAY HAIRS! They&#8217;re probably thinking I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;s old enough, she&#8217;s with a 40-year-old guy!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brian and I were rolling with laughter. Picture the two of us in the car, laughing our asses off about our silly conversation. I was laughing so hard I was crying.<\/p>\n<p>I really was ticked off, though. I wish I would&#8217;ve gotten that boy&#8217;s name and gotten him fired. I really wanted to watch the movie. I guess it&#8217;s a sign that I should do my school work. I would definitely much rather procrastinate by watching Blade Trinity than playing on the computer!<\/p>\n<p>That douchebag will pay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I should be in the freakin&#8217; movie theater watching Blade Trinity right now.
