helllloooooooooo
I'm wondering if many of you do things out in public by yourselves?
I only go shopping by myself, but I wouldn't eat alone in a restaurant by myself or go to the movies alone.
Would you?

I'm really wanting to go to the Robyn concert but I don't know of anyone that would go so I'm playing with the idea of going alone. Would you or have you been to a concert alone?
I also have a week off work coming up and am thinking of going somewhere by myself.
Have you ever?

Went to see Foo Fighters in Paris on my own
when I was 19.

I've intended to go to the cinema alone, but never really care enough to go.

Went to see 300 in the flicks on me tobler
and went to see Steve Earle alone after breaking up with a Galway Girl but it's not something I'd make a habit of.

I've happily eaten in restaurants by myself, even happy to drink in the pub by myself when I arrive before my friends
I've also been on holiday all by myself. It was good, but not speaking Croatian, a whole week without a proper conversation got a little odd.

I also travelled alone all the way to some godforsaken town outside Brussels to see Hooverphonic in concert. (Definitely worth it though.)

I like going to exhibitions on my own
Love going to London on my own, but I do tend to meet up with people for drinks/dinner in the evening.

I like going to the cinema alone too - that way I can go and see crap chick flicks without putting anyone else through it. Although these days I do tend to wait until I can torrent it and then watch with chocolate and a coffee and cry all the way through.

Whenever I've stayed in a hotel room on my own I like to put a chair against the door.

I like my own company.
