People often say that "Ignorance is Bliss". You know, how can you know any different from your life unless you have been exposed to other things. Sometimes not knowing is wonderful - you just don't know it at the time. Tonight, I completely understand!
I've often prided myself on being pretty independent. I don't make insignificant decisions easily but can be pretty determined when my mind is set on something. I've never needed anyone to define who I am or to validate what I do. If I want to do something or go somewhere, I do.
I've taken part of the conversation about eating out alone or going to the movies alone several times. That has never been something that has bothered me. Take a book or just people watch. No big deal. Until tonight...
You see, its been a while since I've gone out by myself and in about 30 minutes, I'm gonna do it again. There is a movie that I want to see and everyone already has plans. So it is either go alone or don't go at all. The second choice is stupid so it is off to get a bite and to the show - by myself. I'm not used to that anymore. Suddenly it feels like a big deal (even though I know its not).
Maybe it will be like riding a bike...you never forget how to do it. Just jump on and go.
***Update: Go see Stranger than Fiction. Totally different role for Will Ferrell but WONDERFUL!***

I was about to comment "What movie did you see?"
I really want to see it - surprisingly there is 'oscar buzz.' Don't know if we'll make it given our Netflix/movie agreement. But we'll see...
Glad you went and liked the movie.
I'm really glad you went, alone or not. It's taken me a long, long time to learn to enjoy being "with myself" and it's refreshing sometimes. I love you -
