Single chicks and chick flicks
So as some of you may or may not know I am a single chick. I have been for a while now and I am ok with that. Some people flip out when they are single, I am not one of them. It is a great way to get to know yourself and to find out what it is you want out of this life. This is not to say that I haven't been lonely from time to time. Of course I have, I wouldn't be human if I didn't get lonely. But walling in self pitty about being alone won't get anyone anywhere! Being single was also a great motivator for my moving to Minnesota. I mean if I was caught up in a relationship would I have left him behind? Maybe...Haha. Anyways I do have a point somewhere.
Last night I went to a movie by myself. One because I just felt like the roomies needed some time to each other within the house. Two, I myself needed to get out of the house. Lastly I wanted to see a movie.
Anywho I went by myself. I've done this before, several times and I have no problem doing it. I mean of course I would love to have someone to snuggle up with or someone to at least sit next to occasionally, but really I enjoy movies and if I do go with someone there are a few chances that this person will want to talk to me or just bug the utter shit out of me during the film. Then also the movie could be horrible shit and there is nothing better then making out in the dark to a shitty movie in the background. Or when you are with someone and that want to see a different movie then you, one of you must compromise. So would it be fair to say that the list of pros and cons to seeing a movie with someone does not necessarily out weigh going to a movie by yourself?
Sometimes when I go to the movies by myself I notice that I get looks. These looks very each time. Some I get are {awww poor girl, going to the movies alone} or another is {Wow, I could never do what she is doing} or how about {she looks doesn't look so bad, why is she alone} and probably my favorite {right on, way to be comfortable enough with yourself to do your own thing}. Some of these 'looks' give me great pride about not always having to do something with another person. Also they make me feel a bit like a loser, but what does it matter what you think about my life. I actually find it to be a liberating experience. Then again its been so long since i've been to a movie with a significant other that it could feel just as good or better.
I really don't know what my point to all of this was, but would you go to a movie alone? If you do, how does it make you feel? Or if you don't, why?
I just think its funny that I feel strong and ok with myself being alone going into the movie and then sure enough the movie I pick just has to be a chick flick or a cheesy love story and I get all teary eyed and want a freaking boyfriend! haha I guess I can't win.
