Movie Night


       Who doesn't like a movie night?  Especially with someone you care about.  L and I spent many a night watching movies together just the two of us.  A great mix of rom-coms, action, horror, and comedies.  For Laura and Carmilla the VHS tapes they have found will lead to flashback material to life at Silas before Laura.    

    Ok, so season 0 not my favorite so far. Granted two things I did get from it all happened in the final episode.   A giant future prophecy and then a near miss.  What do I mean by a near miss?  Carmilla and Laura were in the same place before meeting the first time. Will start there first.

    L and I have deduced that we had been in the same place at the same time three times before we met.  The first was an assembly in 5th or 6th grade.  We don't have very many details other than it had to do with D.A.R.E.  and it was at an arena.   The second time we were in the same room.  A youth group presentation was put on at a church in my town.  The final close encounter was me humoring my mom.  She was a teacher at a small school and her school was competing at the state band competition.  It was the late fall of my senior year and L's school was there performing as well.  I probably saw her but had no idea who she was.  Kinda cool now knowing that our paths had crossed a few times before we met. 

        Alright on to the prophecy.  In the last episode, a magical fairy who grants wishes was summoned accidentally by Perry.  The fairy grants the wish of our characters one true desire.   Carmilla is given a prophecy, "You shall meet your match.  An annoying shrill of a girl.  One who truly challenges you."  Laura anyone.  Carmilla is really skeptical even telling her mother "Did you hear that, mother?  My match?  Please.  Not on your watch."  Now, this does bring up some theories as to Carmilla's "Mother's" intentions for Carmilla, but I'll let it work itself out.  

    Now the prophecy that applies to me in this case.  Chalk one more similarity up to me and Carmilla. So at a family dinner at a country club.  Again during my senior year.  At the end of dinner, my grandfather my grandmother, and my mom are sitting around a table talking about my love life.  At the time I was dating a girl I had just gone to a dance with.  So my love life was always a favorite topic for my family.  They're all talking and I'm trying to ignore them.  Until my grandfather makes the statement " Your going to marry a nice girl from up north."  Alright to clarify there is a city to the south of where I grew up.  I lived in the middle and to the north was a more rural area.  L grew up and lived "up north."  That girl was L.  To add to the prophecy my grandfather helped move me into college and said before he and my dad left.  "I hope you find a girl from up north."  Instant facepalm right.  Little did I know that forty-eight hours later I would meet that girl from up north.  By the way, he and L have had this strange connection since the first time they met.  Might have something to do with L and my late grandmother having a lot in common.

Not All Keys Click

                     I'm not done with this episode.  Have you ever had a key go into a lock but it doesn't open that door?  A lot of keys fit but they don't always open the right door.  L and I live in a very old house, and we have doors everywhere.  Some with keys some without.  Some of these old keys have been worn down and don't always click into place but they open the door nun the less.  For L and me, this couldn't be more true.  It's the right key.  It's the right lock.  It's the right door, and everything will work but it just doesn't click all the time.    For Luara and Carmilla this is also true.  Maybe even more accurate than L and I.  I bring this up because Laura brings this analogy up in this episode.  I don't practically agree with her statement.  I'm guessing she will learn that not all keys have to click smoothly to open the right d...

The End or the Beginning? (Not everything goes to plan)

            The end or the beginning?  This is the question I thought about after the credits rolled.  The story was over.  Laura and Carmilla got their happy ending.  So why do I feel like this is just the beginning?  Simple they are headed to the greatest adventure in life a long relationship with your soul mate.  Learning to live with someone is quite a challenge.  L and I were at a similar point in our life as well.  So I did find something to relate to at the end of the story.           The first thing I want to do is point out how big of a moment the cocoa was in season one ( The Aha Moment )  Why? Because Laura said it was a big deal. " But we’ve had kisses, and cocoa, and stars,  and dancing.  That’s so much more than nothing." When your facing the end or what you think is the end you tend to reflect on the good things that happened.  Essentially this blog...
