from the heART: sub 100 degrees

Before moving to North Carolina, my entire life was lived in the beautiful Arizona desert. Grew up in Phoenix, ventured the 1.5 hour drive to Tucson for school, then back up to Phoenix after. Living in this dry dry heat my whole life, I started to convince myself that everywhere else must endure the same melt worthy temperatures. Obviously knowing better, but having not yet experienced it, I will say that it is a very happy day to look at the forecast, during August mind you, and not have a single temperature over 100 degrees. 

from the heART: ticket for one

Number 95 on my list, go to a movie by myself, is something that I've come to find people have many different ideas about. I have a number of friends who when I have asked if they have ever gone to a movie alone, emphatically respond, of course. Followed by a puzzled look and the question, haven't you? Up until recently the answer was always no. 

Moving to a new city, knowing only a handful of people, and having multiple work days off, I found myself with nothing to do. I had the thought, a movie would be nice, then the thought, but I have no one to call. Screw it, is what my internal more independent self decided, and I went anyways! Yes, alone. I enjoyed the movie (Your Sister's Sister) very much and now understand how seeing a movie alone is not as big of deal as I had previously imagined and would not be opposed to doing it again.
