Ten Years

Ten years ago today, I was anxiously waiting for the school day to end so I could rush home and beg my mother, for the hundredth time, to take us to see Episode I. Yes, I had to wait two long, agonizing days after it premiered. I was possibly the only senior in my high school who didn't my own car, which had never bothered me much before, but now I was entirely dependent on my parents to see this long-awaited movie, and my mom hates crowds. Two days. I had heard the spoiler-filled conversations of people talking about it at school, people who couldn't possibly be as freakishly obsessed as I was. Oh, the pain. :P
