Boyfriends and Drive-Ins

I don't have a boyfriend. But if I did, or if someone was interested in being my boyfriend, I think they would have to seal the deal by taking me to the drive in.

The drive in is romantic. It has been featured on such films as "Grease" and made a cameo in "Twister", as a victim of a tornado.

The drive in is reminiscient of simpler times. Times where movie-watching was a social gathering in the outdoors. Times where sitting under the stars could be multi-tasked with watching a film. Times when, for once, people had to wait for something beyond their control: dusk, so that it would be dark enough to see.
Sydni agrees with me. Kru was her Friday night date to the drive in premiere of Wall E!
The four girls. Cindy, my Kari, Sydni, and, of course, the ever-so excited to be around people that I love and adore: Me!
Sometimes, the drive in isn't just a time for romance in a boy-girl way. Sometimes, it is a time for friends to just hang out.
The pre-movie music is bumping. As anticipation for the movie rises, Kye and I decide to put a little pep in our step. He is such a good dance partner, and the best date EVER! Who needs a boyfriend when you can have Kye loving?
Finally, the movie starts, and we settle into the back of Cindy's truck for the movie. Popcorn, cotton candy, and POP (for you, Kari!). Can life get much better than this? I don't think so, not even if I had a boyfriend!
