Multiplex Cinema Alone?

Is it really a turdy thing to go see a movie by yourself? I'm not sure... I see other people at the movies by themselves all the time and never think a thing about it. And Kate told me she goes by herself a lot, and that it's the best thing ever. But am I secure with myself enough to go and do that? Maybe on a week night I might consider it, but alone on a Saturday night at the Cineplex? I'm just not sure.

I mean, I'm secure enough to go to a restaurant or cafeteria by myself to eat a meal... even without that "security book" or "security newspaper" to give me the appearance of being busy and having a purpose. I love eating by myself-- gives me another opportunity to slow things down and people watch, one of my favorite down-time activities. But the movies? Oooooh-- that's a tough one.

So that's where I was last night. Jason came down for a visit and we had dinner out, and I wanted to go to a movie, but I wasn't sure if he'd be up to it since he had an hour long drive home and it would have maybe been too late... so I contemplated going by myself. And the verdict?? I didn't have to. Jason was (thank the lord) up for it.

But I'm still wondering... would I have gone? Who knows. Perhaps it'll come up again soon and I'll be able to tell at that point whether or not I've got any balls. Until then though, I guess we'll never know!
