STORY TIEMZ WITH UNCLE N8: SHERLOCK HOLMES EDITION
SO I WENT TO SEE SHERLOCK HOLMES, AND THERE WAS THIS TERRIBLE WOMAN SITTING BEHIND ME.
She was this very generic, blonde Californian beezy in her late twenties, and she was talking to her two companions, two girls in their teens. (<-- I know, that sentence looks like a disaster. I had to open at 4am so bye-bye brain). One of the girls had said something about possibly wanting a facial piercing -- I'm not sure what sort, because I wasn't trying to listen at that point. So, the blonde woman is all, "Well, just don't have a bull ring or something the next time I come and visit!" and laughing as though to make a joke about it...and then she like, goes on this huuuge anti facial piercing spiel!
And then there's me, not wearing my lip ring because I hadn't yet put it in after getting off work. So of course she didn't have a clue, but I doubt she would have had the decency to keep her voice down or think about people in the nearby vicinity regardless.
Anyway, she was blabbing on and on about how they look ridiculous and unprofessional, trashy, they never heal/properly close, no one in the real world can take anyone with facial piercings seriously, and so on and so forth in this know-it-all, telling-this-to-you-because-I'm-your-friend sort of tone. And at first I was like wow, way to seriously dissuade this poor girl who is now all of a sudden agreeing with your view on it...and then I was mostly like. D< YOU BITCH. Because. Well...I was getting pretty steamed, because even though it was her opinion, she was also unacknowledged about the subject.
It took a ton of willpower not to turn around and interject, asking if she could view where the holes to my piercings were, like I wanted to. Nope. Instead I behaved like an adult and just grumbled while my sister gave me a sympathetic smile (which believe you me, was enough to warm my heart a smidge -- Lita's big ole blue eyes sucker me every time).
((BTW, the answer would have been WHY NO, I CANNOT SEE THE HOLES, I AM AN IDIOT AND RUDE because obvz no one ever notices that I can wear a lip ring unless it's in. Also, RUDE. Self explanatory.))
And then she kicked my seat during the movie a bit. D;
BUT OTHERWISE I RATHER LIKED IT. A+++ SELLER WOULD BUY FROM AGAIN.
No, really. RDJ + Jude Law in period garb, acting like BAMF's? Totes up my alley.
P.S. I think I'm the only one on my f!list who liked the chick. :\ idk she was fun to watch even if her character was not as epic. +I think I want her hair color, lol.
P.P.S. it was funny and action-y which was pretty much what I expected; it did not advertise itself to be OMG SUPER AUTHENTIC so I am not butthurt about that like some seem to be (no offense meant! I get it, some of you are pining for such an authentic, Sherlock-centric film and I'd see that too. Just, this was not going to be it, y'know?).
/JUST BUTTHURT ABOUT THE WOMAN BEHIND YOU SUMMARIZING WHAT LIEK, 70% OF THE POPULATION MUST THINK OF YOU WHEN YOU'RE OFF WORK.
