People, and by people I mean "women," find confidence and decisiveness to be a turn on, which means that I may very well lead a celibate life. I'm thinking of even trademarking "I'm not marred to the idea," although I could go either way--what do you think?
I have decided that if I do attend the screening of The Room, it may be easier because:
1. I have a place to crash that's closer to the theater
2. I will be taking a friend, good ol' Oleoresin Capsicum
3. I may just splurge and take a cab anyway
But, as Blume once said, "Then again, maybe I won't." (That's right, I quoted Judy Blume. Fuck yeah!) Maybe I'll be too tired to see a movie that starts at midnight. Maybe I'll be awake, but too groggy to appreciate just why people around me are tossing plastic spoons at the screen. Besides, director Tommy Wiseau is difficult enough to understand when one is completely awake and, let's face it, sober.
Maybe I don't want to be intimidated by reports of violent crime on the subway, and go see something I enjoy. Maybe I'm being bull-headed by taking a needless risk just to go out on a Friday night.
Maybe I can just do whatever the hell I feel like when the moment comes, and just be OK with that.
Maybe I'm making a lot of fuss over nothing.
(Thank you all to those who gave advice. Your input, as always, is genuinely appreciated.)

"I could go either way" is my trademark, thank you very much. Back off.
ReplyDeleteI have a hypothesis that Tommy Wiseau is actually speaking a language that's easier to understand when not entirely sober. Much like the way a dog whistle has little to no impact on humans, but canines can hear it clearly. I may be wrong, but it requires scientific testing to be sure.
ReplyDeleteDoes Mr. Capsicum still like to be called "Oleg" by his closest friends?
Oh Fuzzmeister. Get drunk, then go, and drunk dial me on your way home.
ReplyDeleteAs I've told you before, I'm perfectly willing to run your life for you. You just have to actually DO what I say. No decisions required.
In response to your ponderings:
ReplyDelete"Maybe I can just do whatever the hell I feel like when the moment comes, and just be OK with that."
"Maybe I'm making a lot of fuss over nothing."
My answer would be Yes and Yes (ya know, coming from someone who pretty much always gets ahead of herself in an attempt to be prepared and ends up creating so much suffering and misery in preparation that it take most if not all of the joy out of the event you were originally looking forward to.) It's a good idea to plan ahead, but as soon as it begins to freak you out and sour the experience it's time to step back and just TRUST THAT WHEN THE MOMENT COMES YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT BEST FOR YOU! - everyone else can go jump off a cliff.
Of course I would also advise against the whole self-medicating with booze and with letting Heather run your life (unless she offers a good benefits package like a 401k or health insurance, then it might be a good move.)
