I just came back from watching Moneyball at the AMC theater nearby.

I actually snuck out of my house at the age of 22 to secretly watch a movie at the AMC theater nearby.

I have been itchin’ to watch Moneyball for quite a while and for somebody who rarely, if ever, goes to the movies, when I actually feel like going, I have to go. When I’m itchin’ for something, it has to be scratched.

I asked my dad if he wanted to watch a movie with me a couple of weeks ago and he agreed but it never happened.

I asked my brother and it never happened.

So I just made it happen myself.

Tonight, around 9:56 p.m. I just wanted to go and get out.

I hurriedly looked up times and saw that Moneyball was starting at 10.

4 min. away including previews I had about 15 min.

I didn’t hesitate.

I just got up, very quietly, put on my rain coat, pulled on my boots, silently, o so silently grabbed the keys, cracked open the front door and tip-toed out of the house.

I knew my dad thought I was getting up to go to bed so everything worked out just fine.

I finally found the theater way in the back of some small mall. I remember cursing the unnecessarily huge parking lots, yelling, “this is suburban hell!” trying to find my way to the god forsaken theater. I mean why did’t the AMC theater signs correspond to the placement of the actual theater?!!! I lost precious minutes because of that!!!

I ran out of the van once I parked, raced up to the obnoxiously big glass doors, rushed on in to the ticket counter and asked for one ticket to Moneyball.

He took my card, gave me my tickets and told me, “enjoy the movie”

I said, “thanks and you too, I mean not you too, of course not, you aren’t watching a movie” and mumbled my way out into the main hall and on to my designated theater.

Theater 9.

I walked in to the huge theater, all empty, except of course, that couple in the way back being all gross together.

Why did they choose the wayyyyy back when the whole place was empty anyways???

Well better for me. I chose the perfect middle. The spot everybody wants. The choicest seat.

Then I sat and enjoyed the whole movie. From beginning to end.

It was good. I laughed. I had a grand time.

Then I walked out, rushed back to my car, and drove on home.

Slipped back into the house, put on my pajamas, and here I am, back on my couch writing about my date out.

Another day successfully complete.

Good night.
