Treat Yo'Self Tuesday

What?! You've never heard of Treat Yo'Self Tuesday? Oh, that is unfortunate.

Here, let me enlighten you:

(If you are not watching Parks and Rec, you should be. Mass hilarity ensues every time. Josh and I usually sit there cracking up so hard we have to pause it so we don't miss anything... at least twice per episode! Mom and Dad this excludes you. It's much too 'advanced' for your tastes... :) )

Hahahahaha... okay so now that that is out of the way...

 Today I did something I never thought I'd do.

I went to see a movie. BY. MY. SELF.

Loser status, I know. Butttt whatever, the only two people that would go see a movie with me are not super close. Plus one of them already saw it, and the other is too busy with school/work right now after her midterms didn't go as well as planned (lame-ooo). Josh hates movies, especially 'girl movies' (though I tried to tell him it's a comedy which is his requirement for watching movies...he wasn't buying it) So, I just said whatever and got over my fears of being 'that poor pathetic loser in the movie theater by herself'. Maybe that is sliiiightly dramatic...

Let me be honest. I thought I'd stick out like Lady GaGa in her meat suit in the African plains. But I gotta tell you... it really wasn't that bad. I went to the first showing at 12:15, hoping most of the hooligans would be at school and I'd have the theater mostly to myself. And that I did. Actually, I had it entirely to myself! And only came into contact with one other person the whole time I was there... the one who sold me my ticket.

It was pretty great. At first I freaked out because what if someone comes in shooting?! I'm the only target. And the emergency exit door kept opening just a smidge and then shutting again. AHHH. Scurred. But then the movie started and I was preoccupied so it was fine.

Anyways, I went to see Pitch Perfect. 




It was hilarious. At least I thought it was. I know it wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea. But for me, it was awesome. I love me some singing competitions! And it was like the Sing Off, where they make the music with their voices as well and I just think that's so freaking cool! Loved it.

 And it was just nice to know that I can go to a movie by myself and it's not a big deal. Good to know for the future :) I don't have super bad anxiety where I have a panic attack or get all clammy and sick to my stomach, but I do get anxious about new situations. Like going to a movie theater that I've never been to before, by myself, for the first time. Seriously, this morning I was getting nervous about it. Where are the bathrooms, where do I go when I go in? Hmm maybe I shouldn't go, and just wait til I can go with someone. I just don't like the unknown.

You may laugh and think it's silly to worry about something as trivial as that...but it's real.  I don't know where that all came from, either. I never used to worry about those sorts of things. But the passed couple years it has slowly been creeping up on me and now every time I get anxious about certain things.

So anyways. That was my big exciting day :)

And now to watch what I've been looking forward to all day... The Justin Verlander show...

Let's go Tigers!! :)
