A wee little while ago I shocked you all with my confession that I’ve never been to a movie alone. I know right? Up tight much. So, on your recommendation, I took an afternoon off from writing, got all gussied up and took myself on a damn fine lady date. That’s me above. I’m trying out ‘sultry’. On myself, apparently. I’m so getting lucky on this date.
So, I went to see Bridesmaids for the second time, because I needed to see Kristen Wiig’s one eyed, penis impersonation again. And the Wilson Phillips dance montage. (Note to self – get Hold On on iTunes and sing it in the shower ASAP)
Here is how my afternoon went.
1pm – I bought myself my favourite movie treat – non-brand specific, sugary, pink-flavoured, blended ice drink.
1.05pm – I bought my ticket. Then I lost my ticket. Then I found it again… and lost it once more before I got to the door.
1.10 – Seated in theatre. Text boyfriend to brag that I’m seeing a movie alone.
1.11 – Boyfriend texts to ask if I’m enjoying some form of frozen pink beverage.
1.12 – Realise I’m frighteningly predictable. Send boyfriend MMS of said frozen pink beverage.
1.15 – Movie starts.
2.oo – Snort loudly at John Hamm.
2.40 – Mouth the line ‘You smell like pine needles and you have a face like sunshine.’
3.00 – Get very uncomfortable about watching a raunchy sex scene. I have no idea why.
3.30 – Groove a little too enthusiastically to Wilson Phillips. (Hold On is now on my iPhone. Word)
Result?
AWESOME!
Thanks for egging me on ladies.
Stay tuned for my eating alone in a restaurant review.

Ooh, you’re brave. I’m yet to go to a movie by myself… One day though – I’m getting closer to it, I can feel it.
Nice work!

You’re so funny. I go to the movies on my own all the time, sometimes it is just on when I want to go and no one else is about- so Easy!! Yesterday I did some extra time up at work and then went to Wagamama on my own. It is an odd sensation but I eavesdrop and look around and eat and I’m on my way. Enjoy!

I freaking love eavesdropping.

Yay! You did it! Bravo lady. I’m thinking of going out for a drink on my own this week to a fancy bar. Just because. Would you? Could you?
-
I don’t know if I could! It would be lovely…

I’ve not gone to a movie alone, but I might be going to a gig alone in a week or so, which is even more daunting, I think.
-
Wow. That is really confronting for me.
I desperately want to see Dolly Parton (I know) but could only bring myself to ask a few friends, who all cried off – not interested, too expensive. Which is completely uunderstandable, but I thought of going alone, and just totally chickened out.
I’d love to hear how you go Helen!

Yeah that would be weirder. I see theatre alone often and that doesn’t feel weird at all. Less weird than a movie.

I love going to movies alone. LOVE. It’s one of my favorite hobbies.

It might become one of mine too!

Good for you! I used to have a job where I was paid to watch the previews of movies as a security thing. I was also able to stay for the movie for free. Since I was there on my own every weekend I got used to the idea and really enjoy going to the movies by myself. I also enjoy taking myself out for a lovely lunch or dinner. Can’t wait to hear how yours goes!!

So glad you liked it! I saw Hangover 2 on my own last week, mostly cause I didn’t want to inflict that on any of my friends. And it was trashy and bad and hot and funny and I loved it and I loved seeing it alone.
-
It was actually really awesome. I’ll easily do it again.

I always go to the movies alone. It’s rare for me to go with someone else. Hmm, this makes me sound like Nigel no friends :-S
