Upsides to taking yourself on a date
-No one complains if you want to see a three and a half hour movie.
-If you're running late, you won't seem cheap if you opt for a quick slice instead of the fancy sit-down meal. And by fancy sit-down meal, I mean Wendy's.
-You can get to a crowded 7:30 fillm at 7:29 and still find a good seat.
-You know you'll get to spend the night.

Downside to taking yourself on a date
-There's no one to hide behind during the scary parts of the movie, and hiding in your coat doesn't really help.

Countdown
In two short days I will be on my way to this state. Hooray for friends and cowboys and five-day weekends.
