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?
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
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!

You're a good person, Heather. I'm sorry you have to do it.

Can you get him to my neighborhood noon-ish for the bargain matinee pricing? If so, I'm SO IN.

I'm sorry, Heather. May it get only better.

Very sorry, Heather.
