it's true last night was my first time......... in the cinema, on my own! okay so i thought i would grab your attention with the title, but really last night was the first time that i have been to see a film on my own. Clare was going to the pub with some friends for a couple of cocktails and I was at a loose end on my own so I decided to go to see a film. When I was booking this I thought it was a great idea but as the time drew closer I started to panic and get a bit nervous and by the time I got into the cinema I was a virtual wreck. It was at this point that i started to text people and ended up dropping a text to my friend Tom who is a hardened solo cinema user for some help and advice of how to cope with this new experience, who replied with some sensible advice 'breath deeply and enjoy the experience'. the hardest part was the adverts when the lights are still on. I could feel everyones eyes burning into me and I could tell they were looking at me thinking is anyone else going to turn up or is this looser on his own, but then finally the lights went down and the film adverts started and I thought I could relax but no being the idiot that I am I forgot to go to the toilet and had to get out from mid row! needless to say I did not go back to that seat when I returned from my toilet stop but instead slipped into the first empty seat I could find on the end of a row so I could get out quickly if the stress became too much to bear. after this though I actually stated to relax and enjoy the film (forbidden kingdom) although it wasn't the best film I have seen and can understand why it was in a small screen (which was good for my first time) I think it was a good film to start me off on my solo viewing. on the whole I enjoyed the experience as I didn't have to talk to anyone and had no-one talking to me throughout the film. I think that this will be something that I will definitely do again but will be braver next time and choose a bigger film.
