what was that in the dark...

Most people enjoy going to the cinema in a group or with a companion however there are a few I kno who enjoys as much by themselves.

Currently, I am as jobless as one can get. I was at home for far too long and needed some air? So I decided that a movie would probably do some good. However, everyone I kno probably has school, classes, work & what not that is keeping them busy.

Needing to get out a little, I guessed that I should just go ahead by myself. Since I've always wondered why some enjoyed going to cinemas by themselves, I've decided to give it a taste.

Since it was a weekday there was barely anyone catching a movie. I got my ticket, went in, walked to the door of the room for my movie, opened the doors and a slight shiver went down my spine.

I took a quick step back and let the door close by instinct. After a couple seconds, I thought I'm just overreacting. I tried going in again but I couldn't make myself go into the pure black room alone. When I opened the door again for the third time I found a couple of switches at the room wall right next to the door which looked like it was for the lights and it was.

When the dim lights from the sides of the room lit up, going into the room was easier. Right when I went to look for my seat, I saw a figure sitting by a seat nearer the back row. Since I wasn't expecting anyone in the room, I got a shock then was relieved that I'm not the only person around but I wondered how that person could come in and sit in such a dark room by himself. I relaxed after a couple more people made their way in. I put on my iPod until the movie played.

The movie wasn't so bad. Most people said Eclipse sucked so I expected it to be so. Maybe I was expecting worse so it wasn't too bad for me.

Overall, I didn't think the experience was too bad. I wouldn't mind going to the cinema by myself again but next time I might rethink about going during the weekday by myself.
