it's not a worry about what other people think for me, and in fact I've had people tease me for not crying. I just don't cry in movies. Don't know why.
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I do pick and choose which friends I go to certain kinds of movies with to avoid them harshing my mellow.
That's why I prefer going to movies by myself. When I go with someone, I'm always peripherally aware of them, and it keeps me from getting totally absorbed in the movie.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am also a total insane movie loving freak, so I realize that it is possible that other folks might not make it their number one priority to work hard to retrain their emotions merely so they can go to more movies.
Although it sounds like a darn good idea to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Actually, this reminds me of a movie-going question I have: I still haven't seen The 40 Year Old Virgin. So I was thinking about going to a matinee by myself, now that it's school time again. Is seeing it alone in a mostly-empty theater a bad idea?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Only if you're embarrassed about laughing out loud without a crowd of people around doing the same. (Which I probably would be. Well, not embarrassed, exactly, but I'd have less fun seeing it alone. But then, I don't do movies alone because at least half the fun is having someone to share the experience with and talk about it right afterwards.)

Well, you won't miss any lines due to laughs, so that's good. I would go see it by myself, especially a matinee.

I'm apparently not, but I can be persuaded to laugh by other people nearby.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm skipping like 400 posts. I think I'm going home on Friday. There's a lot of displaced people in Shreveprort who need help. I'll mostly just be washing clothes and doing grocery shopping. My step-father just issued over 800 passes for the busses so that people could get around.
All my girlfriends are going back to help.
I had phone calls all day that pretty much went like, "I'm in Dallas because of the hurricane, I can't go home, I can't pay for the hotel/motel/whatever...Can you help me?"
Also, apparently my cousin didn't get off the boat, and I don't know where he is.
Today is bad.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

You should go with Bob!
