Thats a photo of me going to the movies by myself, and sometimes I just have to, especially for movies I that I really really wanted to watch without interuption from a friend (if you got friends who likes to talk to you during a movie, you need to get rid of them, if you ARE the friend who talks, you need to get rid of yourself). Then sometimes there are movies that I wanted to watch but no one around me wants to see it or has already seen it, so what you gota do? Just go to the movies by yourself! Its not that bad really, there's always a believe that its lonely to go to the movies by yourself, they say going to the movies should be done with friends or family or your boyfriend or girlfriend or llama. NO! Its perfectly fine to go to the movies by yourself, I mean you can take in every bit of the movie without any interruptions, then after the movie you won't feel the need to immediately give it a score and talk about it with your friend, I like to take an hour after the movie to think back on what I just saw and reflect on that for a while before giving it a verdict, I think thats a fairest way to judge a movie. So yeah don't be afraid to go watch a movie by yourself, I mean you probably do that all the time when you are by yourself at home right? So why not do the same in a public space? ...Just don't do it in your underwear like you usually do at home. You might get arrested, I learned it the hard way.

However, like the saying from the holy Llama 'With everything good, there are llama turd that goes with it', sometimes you get annoying strangers around you. I sometimes even overhear people talking about me saying 'Oh my gosh.. Look at that guy over there watching a movie by himself.' I even made the mistake of sitting near entrance, so everyone who came in had a good look at me before shaking their heads.. A tip for next time, sit at the back. You would rather be the lonely creepy guy at the back that people might not see, than the openly lonely guy that everyone can see. :iconcreepplz: So anyway, I went to watch Birdman yesterday, I am not sure if you know this but I am a bit of an amateur bird watcher, so this movie was perfect for me, unfortunately none of my other friends were as knowledgeable about birds than I was, so I went alone. The movie was great, very educational, Michael Keaton's insightful views about birds helped deliver the movie's strong environmental message. So anyway I was sitting down with an empty seat next to me and I thought brilliant! The less people around my radius the better (I am quite the guy to hang out with in parties right?) HOWEVER, half way through the movie, I suddenly felt a vibrant odor making itself up my nose, I was thinking 'Did a wet dog just walked in here?', it seriously smelt like wet dog, what was that? I looked over and someone behind me has placed their stinky feet on the back of the empty seat next to me, my head was literally two feet away (Excuse the pun). I wasn't sure if I should tell them to put their feet down or not? Because physically they are not in my way, their feet weren't even on my seat. But they WERE breaking rules by putting feet on seats, yet... I didn't wanna seem like prick and embarrass them complaining about their bad feet odor.. (Isnt it funny how they were being rude and I was worrying about their feelings.) Anyway being a gentleman, I sat through the rest of Birdman not breathing. It was brutal, so the movie ends and I was still thinking if the bird died or not, then I overheard the people behind me. They were actually a couple of teenagers including Lady Feetstank saying how bad the movie was and that they didn't care about it at all and they didn't even understood it! I kinda figured they weren't that into it during the movie, because they would be giving their somewhat loud comments to each other, and laughing at bits that weren't supposed to be funny. Which kinda ruined certain bits for me, but I guess thats inevitable, it is overall a shared space activity. :icontableflipplz:

I swear, one day if I had the money, if only I had the money, this is what I'm gonna do, I am gonna go to a movie that I wanna watch alone (Don't get me wrong, most movies I enjoy watching it with friends, I am not that anti social.), I am gonna go up to the counter lady and tell her I want every seats for that movie, what? I have a large Asian family. She is gonna give me the stack of tickets, I am gonna take out one ticket, and throw the rest in the bin *THUG LIFE*. Thats right. I am gonna enjoy that movie without any interference and without any wet dogs.

One day Ry
One day you will be alone
One day you will be forever alone
That day is now....
:iconforeveraloneplz:
