In need of a lift
I'm in a foul mood. I used to wonder why my mom used to say that she really wanted to become a hermit. Now I understand. I would love to go into full hermit mode and be totally antisocial (this does not include family. I'll always like to talk to family and do things with them).
But instead I'm going to go to a movie. I'm taking my youngest two plus a friend of theirs that I invited, Hermit mode doesn't include this particular friend either because he plays well with both Hayley and Matt and therefore enables my hermitic (eremetic?) desires by keeping them out of my hair.
The movie? Up in 3D. Yes, I am finally going to see it. I'm generally not a person who has to see a movie the MINUTE it comes out, especially if it's going to be a blockbuster hit. Crowds and I don't get along so well. Maybe that's not quite it; I guess I just don't mind waiting. If I can avoid the hoopla and excitement, I will. I like a nice quiet half-empty theater. Besides, my talking through the movie will disturb fewer people. Say I had gone to Twilight the night it opened--I would have been injured by hundreds of irate teenage girls who would have taken severe umbrage at my snide comments and laughter punctuated by loud snorting.
I need Up today. (Up, ear number one, ear number two--12 points if you can tell me what I'm quoting)

Comments
I'll take a stab at the quote: Dr. Seuss' Great Day for Up!
Steph and Jen, I think that if your kids can watch all the other Pixar movies, they'll like this movie. There is a really sappy part (one of the best sappy movie parts I've seen) that might be a tad slow for a little kid, but it is necessary for the story. There are two deaths (both implied) and one in the sappy part, but the other one gave me a tiny shock. I never had much luck taking kids to movies until they were around 5 or 6 so if the kids are younger than that, I don't know.
And Steph, I too have been desperate for adult conversation, but I'm not any good at it, which makes me want to crawl into a cave. Hence the hermitness.
