Waitress

Well, tonight I was going to maybe go to a movie with a friend of mine. I decided to check what was playing and then give her a ring. When I looked, to my amazement a movie that I have been wanting to see for quite some time was at the dollar theater. Of course I became very excited and texted my friend to see if she wanted to go. Alas, she wasn't able to. I still really wanted to go and in the end decided to go by myself. I thought it would be much more awkward than it was with it being a Saturday night and therefore a "date" night. I bought my single ticket, however, and held my head as I walked into the theater and chose a seat in the middle back (my usual). Waitress was the perfect movie to see by myself. I could tear up and not be embarrassed because I would never see these schmucks again. I enjoyed the movie (although it was pretty immoral, just to warn you before you head out to see it). I came away wanting to make pie and also with a hopeful contentment.
Movie theaters are so social. Hardly anyone goes alone. I quite enjoyed it, it allowed me to focus entirely on the movie and for 2 hours (ish) forget about my life and submerse myself in the film. I am quite glad I chose to go and will probably repeat it on those nights I need to escape.
