How I did it: I have always disliked going to the movies with people who talk or share their "close minded" opinions with me. I like to for such opinion on my own. I am very open minded and like to think outside the box. Besides that i like to hit the 12am showings and wear my sweat pants! :) Read how I did it…

How I did it: I've been doing this for two years now. It is not something that I wanted to do but I ended up enjoying. This happened when I was dating someone and they cancelled on me. I had all the intention in the world to see August Rush. The whole plot and filmography appealled so much to me. At the time I was really concerned with the thoughts of others but the desire to view the film overpowered any hindering thoughts. I found a time th… Read how I did it…

How I did it: The first film I saw on my own was Atonement. I had read the book and didnt know anyone else that was interested in seeing it so I pick a late afternoon showing and off I went. I was a lil self conscious buying my ticket but once I'd brought my popcorn and settled down I wasnt even aware of anyone around me. I was able to totally submerge myself in the film (it helped that it was a great movie.) But the best thing is you dont have to w… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I went to see Love actually in the theater when it came out. I planned to see it alone as no one else that I knew wanted to see it. I enjoyed the movie and no one made any comments about me being alone and I didn't get any looks or anything!I mean this was a romantic comedy too! I think that we worry too much about what other people think about us. I would do it again. Read how I did it…

I went to see Jennifer’s Body. I’ll admit it. No one else I knew wanted to see it and I had a day off with nothing to do, so I went. It actually turned out to be pretty good (I thought) and it was nice not to have to argue or defend my choice of movie with someone else.

I went to see Love Actually when it came out. I don’t think my family and friends wanted to see it and I didn’t have a boyfriend at the time.
I think most people just feel awkward doing it but it was great.
I felt proud of myself and very brave.
No one said anything so I think we judge it more than others do.

I have kinda watched a movie alone in a theater before but that was just a funny story where this guy i went with didnt see eye to eye with me and left me halfway through. honestly i kicked up my feet and enjoyed the rest of the movie to the max eating the popcorn and drinking the soda he payed for. (plus my ticket hehehe, thats what he gets for trying to kiss me when i told him to back off. lol) but anyway that to me did not accomplish this goal, which by the way has always been a secret goal cuz i find it kinda embarressing. i mean really who is afraid of the big bad theater! lol. but back to my story, lol, i did it tonight and saw a great 3D “kids” movie called UP. i love 3-D movies! and it was an unfortunate circumstance that it happens to be my 6 month aniversary with the boy i thought i would marry and he has completely ignored me all day, which is hard to do cuz i LIVE with him!! and i know he forgot it was even our aniversary! bastard. but so i was determined to have a good day and celebrate myself without him (im prettty darn stubborn and pretty darn independent). so i went to the humane league and picked out the dog i wish i could have and i went to the movies. all by myself. and all because it made me happy. : ) I love being an independent woman and this was just one more goal accomplished.

There’s still not been anything on that I want to see, or at least, the ones I did want to see I have had people to go with.
Ah well, one day I’m sure.
morrisonsMYmuse is reorganizing and reevaluating her life and relearning who she is!!
because i don’t want to have to depend on someone else being free on friday night if there’s something i really want to see. i almost missed out on an amazing movie that i’d been dying to see the day it opened because i depended too much on other people who don’t care. if i only make plans with myself, i don’t have to worry about someone flaking out on me. besides.. i think it’ll make me feel more independant… i hope…
I have decided I will probably be doing this for the new Night at the Museum movie. I don’t know anyone else who wants to see it and I really don’t want to miss it, so I’m just going to go on my own.
