"Join us, or die"

lumy12The plan thus far is for my buddy ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sweet_panda to come over Thursday night to take part in my Star Wars marathon on Friday. I hope she's able to - I've never experienced such intense geekery with another fan like this, as most of my geek friends are online only and far away! She's even willing to follow my rules. Although I think I may have forgotten to tell her some. The rules are designed so as not to interrupt the flow of the movies. I'm avoiding housework at the moment so I'm going to post them here and show off how geeky I am:
1) The first movie (The Phantom Menace) starts at 7:00am, possibly can be delayed 'til 7:30 but NO LATER THAN THAT. Just because.
2) Bathroom breaks between movies only. Yes, I realize there's a pause button, or that you might be willing to miss a few minutes to go relieve yourself, but still. Shouldn't have to do that.
3) Snacking/eating during movies is fine, but no stopping in between movies to go get food. We're sticking to easy, microwave stuff.
4) No phone calls. Cell phones turned off, ringer turned off on house phone. No returning messages between movies either. No one is going to die if you don't talk to them.
5) Petting cats is okay. They get whiny sometimes if they want attention and you ignore them. But you should try to get the cat to watch the movie with you rather than play.
6) Moving around during movies is okay. I can't sit all stoic for 13 hours myself.
7) No talking during the emo parts. I bawl when I watch them by myself, I'm curious to see how much I'll cry with someone else present. There are certain people I can cry with while watching movies and certain ones I can't no matter how sad the movie. But the wailing, pathetic kind of crying has only taken place when alone.
If you're even a casual Star Wars fan, please take my poll - if you don't give a rat's patootie, then don't bother because I already know your answer!
[Poll #697843]
'k, getting off my duff again... I'm doing somewhere between a half-assed job and a 3/4-assed job of cleaning today.
