Friday The 13th

Cocaine Princess here.

I've been busy the past couple of days and yesterday evening was really the only day I had to myself. Because I had been so busy I was tuckered out and all I wanted to do was stay at home and lay on the couch and that's exactly what I was doing last night. I decided to watch a couple of movies since my favorite reality show wasn’t on. I grabbed a bunch of DVDs which I had yet to see and from the pile picked Eragon.

I was totally into the film when 'A' who was reading the newspaper said,

'There's a special midnight screening of Friday The 13th. Let's go see it.'

'At midnight? If we go we'll be back home pretty late. What about work in the morning?'

'It's only a half day tomorrow in anticipation of the long weekend,' she replied back.

I hit the pause button on the remote and looked at her. She was sitting at the kitchen table.

'You really want to go?' I asked.

'Yeah, come on why not? It's been months since we've taken in a movie.'

And so I agreed.

We departed a little after 11 and driving conditions were less than favorable and I'm happy to say it wasn't because of the white stuff. It had been drizzling the past 2 days up here melting all the snow. Much appreciated Mother Nature! The weather is still chilly but the important thing, the snow has absolutely disappeared.

I'm driving along an old, country road in the rain when all of the sudden the car stopped.

'We can't be out of gas it's still a full tank,' I said.

I tried starting it up again but no luck.

'Why won’t it start? What's wrong with it?'

'Just call up CAA,' my sister suggested.

I pulled out my cell phone and it wouldn’t turn on. I had completely forgotten to recharge the batteries so 'A' handed me hers but I couldn’t get a signal.

'This is great. Two women stuck on a country road in the middle of the night.' I commented. 'That's what the headline is going to read with the added words 'found murdered.' What are we suppose to do?'

'Try standing outside and maybe you'll get a signal,' she said.

So I did and still no signal. In the far off distance I could see a porch light and thought maybe someone would be at home and could ask to use their phone. But who was going to go and who would stay behind?

It was decided after playing a game of 'Rock, Paper, Scissors' I would be the one to go for help.

'Paper covers rock,' said A.

I disagreed and said,

'That doesn’t make sense.'

'Yes it does.'

My hand was still like a fist and 'A' put her hand on top of mine.

'See? Paper covers rock.'

'I don't see how that's possible,' I said back.

I moved her hand and put it underneath mine.

'I say rock sits on top of paper like a paper-weight so rock beats paper.'

'Paper covers rock, it's always been that way.' she explained. 'You lose so you have to go.
Hurry back.'

'Whoever made the rules is wrong,' I said opening the car door.

To reach the house with the porch light I had to hike through an open field. The grass was wet and muddy from the rain totally ruining my black, suede Cavalli thigh high boots. I approached the house and stepped onto the rickety porch and nearly lost my balance on account of the wooden stairs being so wobbly and I rang the doorbell. It wasn't working. So I tried knocking on the door. I waited for an answer....No one answered. I knocked on the door again and when I did the porch light started flickering and after a couple of seconds it went out but then immediately returned. Just as I was about to knock for a third time I felt a tap on my shoulders. I turned around and oh my God! There was a frightful looking man wearing a long black raincoat holding an axe and by the way he had it positioned he was aiming straight for my head!

I'm joking, I'm joking! Nothing of the sort happened. The only genuine thing is we did attend the midnight screening of the movie and it was raining.

At the movie-plex every employee was either wearing a hockey mask or a sweatshirt with Camp Crystal Lake smeared in red letters. We purchased our tickets and then proceeded to the food concession stand. We bought the usual: a tub of popcorn, jumbo size cokes, my sister bought nachos and I bought a packet of Jube-Jubes. I love Jube-Jubes especially the green and orange ones. We made our way to our seats and sat right in the center. The place was packed with Jason Vorhees fans including the individual sitting next to me. It wasn't until they removed their mask to eat I realized it was a female. I wish she hadn't removed it. The female fan was devouring a sub which seemed to be filled with nothing but onions. At that moment I kept on thinking why, why, why did I agree to go out when I was so comfortable at home? So comfortable that my tushy had even found that cozy spot on the couch.

The feature presentation finally began after what seemed like a thousand previews and by that time our food was nearly done.

The film is a remake of the 1980 film which I have seen. Since it was a remake I figured it would be similar to the original version. Instead there were common themes taken from the other parts of the film's franchise.

As I said earlier to my sister we returned back home quite late. We would have been home sooner if we didn't waste those 30 minutes looking for the car. Upon parking I asked 'A' to remember what section we were in. She insisted it was Yellow 10.

It wasn't. It was Red 10.

It’s finally Friday!

The weekend is here!

My loyal and dear readers have a delightful and euphoric weekend.
