Close Encounter With Best Friend...  
...here I am, back again... I promise I will catch up with all your LJ's later...

So what to say? We got along with each other surprisingly well, well at least regarding the fact that we were both strongly PMS-ish over the weekend so of course we had fights but...no one got seriously hurt or had to be taken to the hospital or anything. Made it. Go me.

Saturday Andrea bought season 3 of Dawson's Creek on DVD for 55€ (and seriously, she's telling me *I* am obsessed? O_O) which we watched over the days and which kinda left me...well, sappy. As it always does. Might write more on that later, right now I just don't want to bother anyone with it...

And then...Andrea and I watched the first eppie of Lost together...she had promised me once to watch one episode with me and well...I almost made a pullback cause I knew ahead that if we did watch it, she was only going to mock me and make fun of it anyway...but then I decided to just go for it. And here's a rough transcript of what watching a film or a TV series Andrea hasn't yet seen is like...



[JACK AWAKES IN JUNGLE WITH DOG WATCHING]

ANDREA: Who is that?
ME: Jack.
ANDREA: Where did that dog come from?
ME: He was on the plane.
ANDREA: What was he doing on the plane?
ME: He was the co-pilot.
ANDREA (staring at me): No... seriously?
ME: Oh for Christ's sake he was probably with the luggage!

[JACK RUNS TO BEACH]

ANDREA: Where're the others?
ME: You'll see.
ANDREA: Where was the flight bound to?
ME: L.A.
ANDREA: Where did it take off?
ME: Sydney. (not that all these problems would probably be solved if you just kept watching!)
ANDREA: Why did they crush on an island?
ME: No. idea!

[JACK HELPS PEOPLE]

ANDREA: Is he the leader or what?
ME: Yes, he's bound to be. He's the doctor.

[GOES TO BUSHES; KATE APPEARS]

ANDREA: Who's that?
ME: Kate. Martin fancies her.
ANDREA: But she's OLD!
ME: Duh?

[MEANWHILE THINGS ARE STARTING TO BE SORT OUT AT THE BEACH]

ANDREA: But they MUST be found.
ME: But they're not.
ANDREA: That's unlogical!
ME: Oh JUST WAIT...it will be explained later.
ANDREA: People MUST know where they are!
ME: Andrea they're 100 miles off course!
ANDREA: Where was the flight bound to again?
ME: (slightly annoyed) LOS ANGELES!!!

[NIGHTFALL; KATE AND JACK ARE TALKING]

ANDREA: Where do they know each other from anyway?
ME: She sewed his wound, remember?
ANDREA: But they don't KNOW each other and now they're talking???
ME: Andrea I know YOU would just stay for yourself but THEY.DON'T!
ANDREA: Are they friends now? Gosh she LOVES him!
ME: They're BOUND to fall in love... and NOOOOOO they're just talking!
ANDREA: What's that for a series anyway! I mean are they going to wear the same stuff for a hundred episodes or what? And are they going to build houses there or stay at the beach what, eh???
ME: Andrea I.DON'T KNOW. That's probably what's going to make the show interesting!
ANDREA: And you say this is a weekly series?
ME: Yes.
ANDREA: But you can't make a whole series of that I mean...they're going to be found soon anyway!
ME: It wouldn't be named LOST if they were to be found soon!
ANDREA: It's SO unrealistic!
ME: It's not!

[MEANWHILE THE SHOW CONTINUES AND JACK, KATE AND CHARLIE ARE ON THEIR WAY TO FIND THE COCKPIT.]

ANDREA: Jeeez Dommie has SUCH a weird head.
ME: Who cares?
ANDREA: I was just saying.
ME. Right.
ANDREA: So what were you saying makes this series so gripping?
ME: That they're 48 strangers who don't know each other but all have a past and how they interact and react...
ANDREA: Oh. Didn't you say it was about the island?
ME: It is, too. It's about lots of things. There's these polar nears...
ANDREA: Polar bears?
ME: Yes.
ANDREA: What the hell are polar bears doing there?
ME: I.DON'T.KNOW!!!
ANDREA: Don't the people there think this is weird?
ME: Of course they do!
ANDREA: Oh. So they don't know more than I do?
ME: NO FOR GOD'S SAKE! THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT INTERESTING!!!!!


So our convo goes on like this and I swear she doesn't ask all this to annoy me but cause she tends to speak all the questions the viewers are supposed to ask themselves out loud... when we were done watching eppie one it went like...

ANDREA: That was disgusting.
ME: It's only the pilot. Plus what were you expecting? It's not a children's series.
ANDREA: You only watch it cause Dom's in it anyway.
ME: I started to watch it because of him but guess what, the series actually REALLY good! And you had decided to NOT like it before we even started watching so I'm not arguing with you!
ANDREA: But you'd have never started watching it...
ME: Who cares? It's a GOOD show...
(after one minute or so I suddenly perceive a quiet muttering coming from Andrea's direction)
ANDREA: Hm. But now I want to know how the story's going on!!!

*bangs head against wall*

*cant stop laughing*
omg, i COMPLETELY know what it's like to watch things with people who act like that! *giggles*
you handled it very well. my usual response is just, "watch, and maybe you'll find out." "hey, if you're quiet, you might actually hear some of the dialogue." "i don't know, let's watch and see!" "..." <-- (that's when i start ignoring them completely.)
*megahugs* i'm so glad you made it through and are BACK!! *beams*
i've missed you so. *more gigantic cuddles*

GAAHHH!! how annoying!! WHY do people like that insist on seeing movies in public?? they should just see them in the privacy of their own homes, where they can embarrass themselves without annoying anyone else!

Don't know whether it worked before so I'll try again:

My brother is like that, and my dad and my mum!

Glad to see you back, m'dear! Silly ol' me forgot what you'd said in your last post and so I've been wondering where you are!

Oh yeah. I had that experience with a friend of mine while introducing her to LotR.
