Midnight showing

👩‍⚕️ Elena

Jake surprised me with tickets to the midnight premiere of The Wolf of Wall Street tonight. I haven’t done a midnight showing since… honestly, probably since high school. But something about bundling up on a Tuesday night in January to go sit in a dark theater until 3am felt exactly right.

Took me longer than usual to get ready because I kept second-guessing my outfit. What do you even wear to a midnight premiere? Settled on comfortable but still cute - jeans and my burgundy sweater that Jake says brings out my eyes. Plus boots that can handle the walk from the parking garage in this cold.

The theater’s going to be packed with college kids and die-hard movie fans, the kind of crowd that cheers during trailers and gasps at plot twists. I love that energy. There’s something about shared anticipation in a room full of strangers that makes everything feel more electric.

Now if only I can stay awake past my usual 10pm bedtime. Jake’s already making coffee for the road.
