this one’s for woobie Current mood: fabulous Category: Friends
And so it began, my lil love affair with a stupid cult classic named "Empire Records",...... as if Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure wasn't enough,......
You see, I would have never seen the movie, had it not been for Woobie, and his predicament at that place in time (which was on my couch). But, I'm glad I did see it,...glad we shared it. Ha, ha, ha,....... and with General Foods International Coffee! LOL
Funny thing, Woobie was over with his wonderful fiance and great crew of kids recently. And I had rented the movie because I had been dying to see it. Well, unbeknownest (ha, ha, ha,...did i just say that???...and did I spell it right?....derrrr) to me, he was able to make Gigi's graduation party. Great surprise!!!! Anyhow,.... I failed to jog his memory by showing the movie to him. And to tell you the truth, I didn't think he'd remember. Sheez, it's been many years since then! But to my surprise, that following Monday, I called him and asked him "Hey, I had our movie in the house. Do you even remember what it is?" And to my pleasant surprise, he responded with "All I gotta know is, am I the one with the black turtleneck, all in black!" Ha, ha, ha! OMG!!!! He remembered! And so, I cried back "Oh my gosh! You remembered! I love you soooooo much, man! I can't believe it! You really remembered!" Good times,...........................................
And after I got off the phone, I decided then to call his bluff and ask if he remembered the title. So, I text him with "you don't even remember the name of the movie, do you,...." Which he then texted back with "EMPIRE RECORDS" and "can you even do Lucas' dance?" LOL,.............yeah, he remembered.
I love this guy, I really do. Can't explain why and how much,..........infinite. And love that we share this stupid bond about a movie, among other things. I wish him nothing but the best in his life, because he deserves it, and he finally believes that he does deserve it as well.
And of the day of his wedding, I will (hopefully) have this cult classic wrapped up nice and 'purty' for him, with a card inscribed with "we'll always have 'Empire Records', man,............" , cuz we will.
*sniff,....................................
k, now, I just need to find it,..............................................
p.s.
