Day #10: A Movie Date

So this girl Caryn called me up and said, "Hey, you really need to step up your game on the blog business. You're a slacker, you are really bad at dating yourself. You're all talk."

What a biotch!


I saw this....



Here's the play by play.

I arrived late to theatre.
In a frantic voice, I purchased ONE ticket.  Maybe they think I'm meeting someone/
Take Mom's refillable popcorn bucket to the food counter. Buy Popcorn. Well for all the girl knows, I'm part of the big group of young adults in front of me that paid individually.
Walk by myself past lots of people to the theater.
Walk in to the theater.
THERE ARE NO SEATS IN THE MAIN SECTION.
Ponder between hiding in the front section or owning my singleness and sitting in the handi-capable seats that are solo.
I choose front section because from up above, you can't really see me.
Worry if people can see me after all.
LAUGH, LAUGH, LAUGH and LAUGH.
Realize the movie has ended and all the people will see me alone in the light.
Grab my purse
RUN OUT OF THE THEATER USING A SIDE DOOR.
Hold breath until I am in my car.
Get in car.
Sigh of relief.
Ponder.......
--Why do I care?
--How do people do this? 
--Why do people like doing this?
--Maybe I should buy tickets online.
--Maybe I should get to movies earlier.


Take Away: It was just weird. I missed having to share popcorn. I missed having someone to laugh with. I mean, my mom is a pretty good movie date so I will ask her to go with me next time. I'll maybe try again at some point, but it was too weird. I'd rather give blood then go to a movie by myself again. I can do lots of things by myself, but movies aren't it.

PS: I suck terribly at taking selfies, so here is photographic proof of my escapade.

  1. I don't like movies or going to sit-down for a meal in a restaurant by myself. I have girlfriends that do it all the time...you don't know 'till you try - so there you go!
