July 25th!!!!!!

If you knew me at all in high school, particularly if you were in the youth group with me in high school, you knew that Sunday nights after LIFE SHARE groups I didn't linger to chat. Instead I would grab Ross, jump into the Beretta (oh the Beretta) and FLY home. I could make it to my dad's house (to drop Ross off) and back to my house in record amounts of time with very little speeding. I would commandeer the downstairs living room all to watch THE X-FILES.

It was good times. I had been introduced to the show by my best friend Melissa in junior high and I still consider it one of the best television dramas of all time. Lost and X-Files are probably top of my list. The creepy storylines, the confusing mythical arc, the AMAZING chemistry between Mulder and Scully... Sunday nights were the best.

The X-Files is why, junior year of high school, my parents got a new television for the living room and the old one was placed into my bedroom and set up with cable soon after- they were sick of me taking over the living room every Sunday night. The X-Files is what originally sparked my interest in the Mayans. And why for a small portion of time during freshman year of high school I refused to eat corn.

Imagine my EXCITEMENT to find out that a NEW movie is coming out in JULY OF THIS YEAR!!! I was searching for movies to take the teens to during the summer and I typed "Summber blockbuster movies 2008" into Google. A link to a website with all the big movies listed came up and under July 25th it said "Unnamed X-Files Sequel." I thought it was a fluke. They have been talking about a new movie for YEARS and it's been almost ten years since the original movie came out. But SURE ENOUGH! I called Dee who got pretty excited too (only because we share a goofy inside joke about the first movie). Most of the people I've talked to about it are pretty understanding about it all. It is such a great thing to remember.

So, I'm HOPING that I can convince some friends (maybe Ruth?) to come and see the movie with me. I'm really hoping that there's a midnight showing (you know me and my midnight showings). All in all, just another thing that is going to make this summer AMAZING!
