"All by Myself" (singing)

So I went and saw Pirates today. All alone. I got to the theater early and just sat there watching the ads. I really liked the movie. I love Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow. I can not imagine anyone else playing that part. I thought the special effects were so good and a little gross!! I was kind of annoyed at the "cliffhanger" ending. I am NOT a patient person. It's going to drive me crazy to wait for the next movie, just like it's driving me crazy waiting for the last Harry Potter book to come out. Trust me I don't need to get any crazier.
I really don't mind going to the movies alone. I got a few weird looks and a few sympathetic looks. "Awww, look the nice lady had to come here all alone" Actually the weird looks might have been because unbeknownst to me my youngest dd had spilled some of her bright pink yogurt on my shirt. It was there for all to see. Anyway, I went alone because my daughters would not have been able to sit still for 2 1/2 hours and my hubby isn't really into movies unless they are non-fiction or have witty cartoon animals in them. I don't have any friends in the area and I am not exaggerating. The closest thing I have to a friend is one of my VTs. She's nice but we really don't have anything in common and I am not at the top of her "people I want to hang out with list" That would be all the other perfect little TBM moms in the ward. Not an inactive apostate heathen such as myself, though she really only knows I am inactive. As for non mormon friends, I never go anywhere to make any. We only have one car which dh takes to work. So that rules out going to play groups or anything like that. Unless I want to go through the hassle of someone picking me up, and me constantly putting car seats in and out of cars, and I am way to lazy for that!!!!!!!
I guess it's my own fault. I have never been a very outgoing person and I am pretty shy until I get to know people. Except on the internet where I seem to lose all my inhibitions. I thinks it's because I can remain relatively anonymous.
So I will just continue going to movies alone. It's not so bad.
