A 12:01am opening of...a game?!!?

So...I'm always up for an adventure and doing something I've never done before, so when I was asked if I wanted to join my boyfriend and his friend Denny at the midnight opening of Starcraft II I couldn't very well say no. Monday evening...prior to Future Shop even closing we headed out to make sure we were ready in line. When we got there only one other person was ahead of us, and oh man was he ever excited.

We set up our chairs and brought out our pop and pack of cards so we were ready to enjoy the next fourish hours. Since I wasn't as enthused about this whole midnight opening of a game I had no idea about I decided to wander off to WalMart. Perusing stores and shopping always helps the time go by for me. By the time I got back to the line another 10 or so people had joined. We decided to order Pizza so it was on its way. With some more time to spare I decided to give my mom a call...and then my dad, and by the time I was done talking with them the pizza had arrived! Perfect timing!

Pizza done and a couple more hours to kill it was time to play cards! Hearts it was! Which...I kicked some butt at!

Everyone in line got continuously more excited as the time passed...by like 11:30pm everyone was up off the ground, standing and ready to pounce as soon as the doors opened.

Both Alexander and Denny bought Star Craft II...I enjoyed the shopping...and pizza...and talking with my parents...and playing Hearts...

But, either way I can say that the first time I went to a midnight opening was to a game I know nothing about! Hooray!!
