Alone

Home alone is probably the best kind of alone because no one can see that you are alone.  This is what yesterday Mel would have said.  Today Mel prefers the solitude...sometimes.

All of my friends had already seen BreakingDawnPartTwo.  I was the only one left who wanted to see it who hadn't.  So, left with no other options, I made the trek to the movie theaters alone.  I had many fears about this.  Would it make me seem like a loner, a desperate would be (age permitting) twi-mom?  No, last time I checked I was still young and hadn't produced any offspring.  So, I walked into the 2nd theater on the left and I sat down.  I watched about 7 trailers and concluded that I'd be coming back to this fair theater to see about 3 of those up and comings.  Then finally, complete with visually cool opening credits, a very well produced twilight came onto the screen.  It was the last of its kind and as promised, it was better than previous despite mediocre acting.  Taylor/ Jacob was looking as attractive as ever and mostly everything was how I pictured it.  Even the "Nobody has ever loved anyone as much as I love you" bogus didn't make me roll my eyes too much.  The cinematography and music were great and my popcorn was buttery. 

So all in all, I had a great time at the theaters all by myself and never found myself belting out the lyrics to the oh so familiar song with that same title.  It was fun and when all was said and done I realized something...I preferred to watch movies alone at home so what's the difference? Who's to say that going to the theater by myself wouldn't become a fun weekend activity when everyone else was busy.

Next time, maybe I'll even tackle dining alone!
