in case you were wondering, a nerdfighter is someone who, instead of being made of bones and muscles and blood and things, is instead made up entirely of awesome. The term was coined by John Green of the vlogbrothers.
Anyways, we met up at the movie theatre to go see the MUPPET MOVIE!
I knew one of the other girls going and recognized a few others by their shirts.
Giraffe Love, Pizza John and the Nerdfighteria Community.
We chatted before the movie and everyone seemed TOTALLY AWESOME.
We went into the theatre and managed to snag a row entirely for us. There were about 10 of us sitting in a row, leaning over each other, giggling and passing candy and popcorn up and down. It was amazing to feel so at home with people I had just met. Remember I knew one girl already and had talked to most of the rest on our Local Nerdfighter FB group, so it wasn't like they were total strangers. And by the end of the movie they were friends :)
During the previews we were all freaking out about all the cute looking movies we need to see including "Brave" which looks a lot like "how to train your dragon" which of course EVERYONE loved.
Another preview was for "Journey 2 the Mysterious Island", the movie looks like a bit of a joke, but the preview featured this:
Causing our entire row to point at the screen and practically yell : PUPPYSIZED ELEPHANT!!
which in turn caused most of the theatre to look at us and go WTF?/shutup
ANYWAYS
The Muppet Movie was AMAZING!! I mean, I already LOVE the muppets so I had high hopes, but it was everything I wanted it to be and more. ALL of our favourite characters, some classic songs, some new songs. Every movie stereotype ever, acknowledgement thereof, breaking the fourth wall, hilarity, heart-felt moments and TONS of celebrity appearances including a scene with Jim Parsons (best known for his role as Sheldon Cooper) that made everyone laugh. It also included Jack Black, Selena Gomez, Whoopi Goldberg, Neil Patrick Harris and more.
We all came out of the theatre wanting to sing and dance. Being such awesome people we naturally did so. And though we had to part ways, we did so with a giant group hug and promises for more awesome gatherings in the future.
My friends, I leave you with some inspiring words and a happy (AND VERY CATCHY) song.
Everything is great, everything is grand,
We've got the whole wide world in the palm of our hand,
Everything is perfect, it's falling into place,
I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face,
life's a happy song when there's someone by your side to sing along.

Glad there is an abundance of awesome in your life right now Dawn!
ReplyDeleteAnd the name is confusing, I thought nerdfighters must be people who combat nerds when I first heard the name way back when. So good job clearing that up in the title. :P
I was informed I am 75% used up of interwebs so I am rationing my youtube watching to the max since it will not be a new billing period till the 15th... When I leave...
