*clutches heart* Are you trying to kill us?
*images the Anthony butt dance in LVB to take away the bad images*
Okay, I'm good now. I have something to say (don't I always?):
I watched the cast interviews they had during Brown Sugar (starring the ever-sexy Taye Diggs) and after all the interviews, they showed a 'sneak peek' which was the trailer we've had for months, but the thing is...I started crying. I went into the bathroom and sobbed, smiling the whole time because everything hit me at once. How Rent has in one year (as it was about this time last year I was introduced to it) changed my life *yeah, yeah, insert "For good" here* and how powerful it still is.
I had the opportunity to go see Rent on Monday, special screening. But I couldn't take my best friends (who introduced me to Rent in the first place). My dilemma was, I could go to the screening and then see it with them Wednesday and they wouldn't be the wiser, but...
Rent is about friends being 'the family you choose' and I couldn't go see the movie without my girls, my best friends, sisters, my family.
I want the emotion to hit me and I want my girls there to laugh with, to cry with, to miss Aubrey (displaced in California) with, to stand up with me and dance in the aisle during LVB, to moo with when Idina asks us to, to experience the year in the lives of these eight characters with.
So, I declined the pass.
*grins and bounces slightly more impatiently* It's like waiting for Christmas morning and you can't sleep, even though it will make Santa visit sooner. I will be in bed three seconds after the end of House on Tuesday, with that same excitement trying to sleep until I can see the movie. And of course, Nov. 23rd is Christmas for me this year.
End of storytime, pick up your cookies and milk on the way out, thank you little darlings.

And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours." -The History Boys
