So this weekend, becuase I was pouting, I decided to go to a movie, in the theatre, all by myself. It was a matinee, so it wasn't as brave as if I had gone at night, but there were still a lot of people. I was feeling all confident while buying the ticket, even said "one for Love happens" without my voice cracking or a red face. Then I walk over to the snack bar and order a popcorn/drink combo, which I thought would give me a small popcorn, and a large drink. Not the case! The lady pulls out the mega popcorn and has it filled before I even realize it's mine. There is no way a family of four could finish this off, let alone me, who doesn't even really like the popcorn. But...to act like I knew what I was doing, I accept the "vat" of popcorn and proceed to the checkout. First, I stop off and get my drink. I chose the 32 oz. which I found out later was not the one for the combo, so my disgustingly large popcorn and 32 oz. coke, cost me $11.50. Good hell! That is twice the cost of the ticket. But I'm not going to cause a scene becuase I just wanted to go watch the movie. Overall, it was a very empowering experience, but I just have to laugh at what an adventure my life can be sometimes. And all becuase I don't pay attention.

At least you didn't spill the coke or the popcorn on anyone!
Going to a movie by yourself can be a very invigorating thing. I've gone to a couple myself and found out that it's actually an okay thing!! But next time...take your own treats!! I recommend the Jr. Mints/soda combo. Together they leave that yummy gritty feeling on your teeth. :)
Treats from the movies are ridiculous... found that out at the dollar theater. Costs me 10 bucks for popcorn and soda- the popcorn ended up all over the floor, and the soda was nasty!
I've been by myself before, and I loved it. I got to sit where I wanted, watch what I wanted, and eat what I wanted. But that was in the olden days when I lived in the "city" and had a hubby who worked a crappy shift that was opposite of mine, and before we had kids. Some days, it sounds like heaven! (Some alone time with my own diet pepsi and some candy... ahhh!)
