wallet heaven.

funny story!

we went to watch twilight tonight. i only heard a lil bit of the hype and honestly, i just wanted to see what the big fat hairy deal was. i didn't really have many expectations, i just wanted to see if the hype would be justified. and if not -- honestly i wouldn't be surprised. most times i hear hype, it's really just hype. so anyway, the movie was aiiiight. it was good, but it wasn't great. it was interesting, but it didn't blow my mind. if anything, i always hope for some more humor to break the tension and seriousness of those types of storylines. my favorite scene in that movie: "cat."

aaaaanyway, after the movie, we tried to get outta the parking garage, and the ticket reader wouldn't accept my stub...so i looked for my wallet so i could pay the difference...and it hella wasn't there. i had to back up and re-park.

oookayy so my wallet is hella not in my bag. we go back up to the theaters and we start trying to remember where it was last...we left it in the tray with all our movie food in it -- they already cleaned the theater! they found the worker that cleaned that theater, and so she goes to the back door where she dropped off the garbage bags and they're already picked up by the guy that brings them to the trash compacter.

sooo then, she radio-ed the guy that takes them and yuuup -- those garbage bags are already in the trash compacter, but we don't know if he actually turned on the machine. i have no idea how she would know which garbage bag it was, but she runs outside and gets INTO the trash compacter! and a few minutes later...she comes back with my wallet. exactly how i left it. wow, yet another eileen-is-hella-effin-lucky wallet story. (the first story is when i left it in a diner and the bus boy picked it up and gave it to the manager completely untouched and i picked it up the following evening -- every single thing was still in there. hella nice, huh?!)

funniest part about almost losing my wallet tonight -- i was hella calm and chill about it the whole time we were searching for it. it was hardly the fact that i didn't have it. the first thing i thought of is "i hope no one stole it." because if someone stole it, then i'd have some serious issues. then i had to rethink the valuables and whatnot. but then when the lady who cleaned the area told us that it was dark and she just threw everything away...i was hella at peace. everything in that wallet was important, but entirely replaceable. i've been learning a lot about patience and how i handle situations lately, and i'm really proud of myself -- i hella kept my cool the entire time. the worker was hella trippin out more than me, but i was seriously the only calm person there. as long as someone didn't steal it, then i'm all good. it would've been hella funny if my wallet did get freakin smashed in a freakin trash compacter in a movie theater and went straight to wallet heaven. that would've been such a funny story to tell :)

yay...good as new.
