So, this month's movie comes from Alaina! She chose one of my favorites that I have talked about on here before, Holes
This is the story of Stanley Yelnats, a young man who gets charged with theft, and Hector Zerony, and young man with a mysterious past. They are both sent to a disciplinary camp for troubled boys. Stanley thinks it's because of his family's curse. You would think there would be a lot of things to do because it's a camp. However, the only thing you can do is dig a hole. The height and width of the shovel that you are using. The story gives lot s flash backs to the curse, and other stories that bring the character together. You never really know what there is to uncover out in the desert.
I still love this movie. It's still over of the best book to movie adaptations I have ever seen, and it's always just fun to watch. The relationship between Stanley and Zero is a close friendship that we know lasts forever. They are there for each other, support each other, and help each other to do some crazy things even when none of it makes sense. Friends don't always have to have the answers but sometime you just need them along for the ride.
This month's them was a heck of a crazy one. The them for this month was Funny. I bought all of them an item that represented a funny moment in our lives. A story that makes me laugh or smile every time I think about it. I am just going to do a run down of them here.
Alaina: A shot glass that said "it was the socks." When I turned 21 I had Alaina come to the house for a sleepover, I also gave her alcohol. We didn't have much just a little but we didn't tell her parents. She was going down the stairs to my room and she feel. She claims it was the socks but I always joked she had to much to drink. What really made this funny was that her parents found out about the drinking because Alaina and texted her mom about it instead of me. We both got in trouble. It was not fun to go through but hilarious to look back on.
Margie: Chinese finger traps. A few months back mom and I were doing some work at our church. I was working on a sink and she decided to play basketball. I hear her scream form the gym "I Broke my finger you have to take me to the hospital". Turns out she dislocated it. However, he had a blast at the hospital. We kept making jokes and the nurse came in to check on use cause who laughs in the ER? Mom said that she was going to add chinese finger traps to her first aid kit so if it happens again she came pop it back in herself.
Luke: A sign the says "Get Out". I worked with Luke for a year as the same hospital I took mom too, and he always would make lame jokes. He would also always do it when I was stressed and didn't want to "people" anymore. So, I go a sign that tells him to get out so when I see him at his home and he makes jokes I can just point to the sign and tell him to leave, in good fun.
Beth: A Toy Firetruck: Beth and I went on a trip to Kentucky in March. We had a good time! However, there was one hitch. We went to bed the first night we were there and got woken up at 1am but the fire alarm of the whole hotel going off. The first thing she asked me when to popped up was if that was my alarm going of! It wasn't I wish it was. So, we when out to the parking lot for like 20 minutes and the fire department showed up. We took pictures and stuff while we were waiting to go back in. It's a fun memory for sure!
Jeannie: All three Back to the Future Movies: So, the was several years ago when I was at her house, with several friends, and we were playing the game Taboo. Now, I had to guess the name of Michael J. Fox in order to get the point. However, the person giving the clues had no idea how to tell me who it was because all the stuff they knew him from were not allowed to be said. I gave a hail marry pass and guessed his name and it was right! Everyone was stunned silence and the people were were against swear I was cheated. However, I will let out a secret now. I didn't cheat! However, when they were shuffling all of the playing cards to drew from that card fell on the table. I saw that it was clue in our game. I had no idea where is got put in the deck, and if we were even going to get to it that night or not. So, when I guessed I only said his name cause I saw it on the table so it was still a hail marry pass.
Nora: Nail Art of American Flags. Several years ago I got my wisdom teeth pulled out. I thought I was going to be miserable but ended up having a good time. I had people visit and watch movies and some stayed the night. However, when I realized that I could eat softer food I was ready to get anything cause I was starving! Nora drove us to McDonalds where she got a gallon of sweet tea, and I got french fires. One the way back to the house we started listening to "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus. Some guy with his windows down started looking at us weird and then singing along with us.
Angela: A Wine Bottle Opener. This was on a notoriously bad vacation weekend that Nora, Angela and I went on. We spent two days in Nashville, with no plan of anything to do trying to wing it, and we were on each other's nerves. We ended up going to the liquor store, and going back to the hotel cause we had no idea what to do. We all hated it. The only thing to look forward to was the wine. Then realized we didn't have a wine opener, thankfully the front desk did. However, could not get this bottle to open to save out lives! Angela and I tried for like an hour to open it up. He ended up laughing to hard at what we were doing but it finally broke the tension! The laughing did cause us to take longer in opening up the bottle. We finally got it open, while bending the wine opener in the processes, and salvaged the night by drinking, eating snacks, and watching "Say 'Yes' to the Dress".
Nikki: Both Pitch Perfect Movies: The first time Nikki and I hung out outside of work was when we went to see the first Pitch Perfect Movie. We had so much fun and we still have inside jokes from that movie. However, the Second movie is the funniest for us. We both love Fat Amy in those movies and her love scene in the second one where she is confessing her love to that jerk is so funny! She sings "We Belong" and almost gets hit by a car. We ended up going to eat at Pizza Hut after the movie and the sing "We Belong' was playing when we walked it.
So, I loved sharing all of those memories with them! I am very excited about this month's theme as well. I am glad it's not as involved so it won't take up as much time, however, I have to get everything by tomorrow cause I think I am going to see all of my friends in person in the next two weeks!
