Alone is Kewl

I took myself to a movie today and enjoyed my time alone. The kiddo was in daycare and I was sitting around doing nothing. I went to Vampires Suck, which was completely retarded. I laughed once, at the very end. Even so, it was nice to get out. I don't get what the hangup is about going out alone. I like going to movies alone, dining alone, driving alone. I hope this doesn't mean there's something wrong with me ;)

I like being alone with my own thoughts; just ramblings in my head and no one to hear them or comment. Sometimes I get exhausted listening to people talk simply because they feel it is appropriate to talk. Nothing of substance to say just as this blog is nothing of substance. And yet, here I am, blogging just for the sake of blogging. Am I still a hypocrite if I am admitting it? Ah well, I'm holding no one hostage. You may simply walk away and I will be none the wiser. It's nice isn't it?

Sometimes, when I was working, I would put my headphones on even though I wasn't listening to anything. This was such a great way to get people to leave me alone. Also, I could pick up on gossip because they thought I couldn't hear them. Quite enjoyable. Pretending to text, having a book open and sitting here at the coffee shop with my laptop open are all fabulous ways to shut myself away from the living.

In about an hour I will pick up my kiddo and will interact as if I had been doing it all along. What a nice little vacation I gave myself today.
