#80 Go to a movie at the theater by myself

This may seem like a strange "goal."  Some people go see movies by themselves all the time.  But I never had.  Until last Saturday.

Being an extrovert (an ENFJ to be precise! :), movies are a social thing for me.  The idea of seeing a movie by myself is strange...why would you do that?  Spend 2 hours being entertained by myself?  Reading a book, for some reason, is a totally fine activity to do in solitude.  Watching a movie?  Not so much.

Five years ago I had a mission companion that challenged me to go to a theater and watch a movie all by myself.  And it's been on the list...for five years.  And I finally did it!  And you know what?  It was great.  The guy next to me might have preferred that I leave a seat between us, but whatever.  Even sitting next to a stranger made me not feel alone.  And FROZEN was AMAZING!  Loved it!  :)


Will I see another movie by myself, you ask?  I'm not sure.  I won't make a point of doing it again, but I also wouldn't shy away from it.  Next time I wanna watch a movie that everyone else has already seen, guess what - I'm goin' by myself!

My dollar today goes to hurricane relief.  :)
