Maybe these were some ugly bitchez. Or fat :lol:


Haven't any of you guys ever sat by girls before...?

Horrible...


Are you gay or something? :lol:


If there is a group of them, they don't strawberry floating shut up!!! Especially on public transport. It is enough to turn someone gay I reckon.

But a group of gay guys is probably just as bad...

Also its worse here, we have tons of islanders... But I am writing this small due to the racist police we have on here.


Yeah I know what you mean. Why is it girls in packs insist on laughing in incredibly annoying high tones.


I have never have had a clue. It can't be to be attractive, so it must be something to do with peer pressure. Maybe they try to outdo each other with their voices? To be seen as the most popular person or some gooseberry fool.
It’s a good way to keep the suicide rate up I suppose, especially for commuters.

I've done it once before when I locked myself out of my house and had half a day to kill before my folks got home. I'll probably do it again now that my uni is right across from a massive cinema and I have no friends.

I've done it when away on business with nothing to do in the evenings. I didn't feel self concious at all, its kinda fun. The only other time I've done it was to go see Disney's Treasure Planet.

Was that film any good? I always saw it advertised but was never sure if it was worth watching.

Its alright. Some wonderful animation, but the story and transfer of the story to the future setting is a bit weak. I liked the characters because they were quite unusual for a Disney flick.

I've done it a few times and felt ridiculously embarrassed the whole way through the film, especially if you're sat near a group or couple. Nothing wrong with it though, that's just my insecurity.

And this is why a threesome is best kept a fantasy.

I saw Watchmen on my own and I wasn't the only one in there on their own. You could say our loneliness brought us together.

What about other activities?

Would you go to a bar on your own? Shopping? Getting a hair cut? Going to a theme park? Holidays?

Do we always need someone to hold our hands?

It can feel weird I suppose if your use to going with friends. But once your inside and sat down in the dark who cares lol.
I went to the premier of Star Trek XI at midnight by myself and there were about 50 or more people there many were by themselves too.

I'd imagine going to a porno cinema with a group of people would be weirder than going by yourself.

"I wish that group behind me would stop throwing their popcorn at the screen..... Hold a second..... That feels wet and soggy... Is that chewed up popcorn? Ewwwww gross, it's salty popcorn too by the taste of it."

I saw Transformers 2 by myself because originally I had organised that my friends and I would all see it, but two days before we planned to see it, I caught swine flu and had to be in quarantine for a week. My friends all went to see it without me (despite me doing all the group texting!) and after the film they all text me saying "Great film, thanks for setting everything up." :lol: :x After quarantine finished, I just went to the cinema alone to see it. Felt a bit awkward but once the film starts I didn't really notice the whole forever alone aspect.

I'd be surprised if a midnight showing of a Star Trek film wasn't full of sad lonely strawberry floaters tbh.

When I walk into the cinema with my mates or my girl I always make a concious effort to point and laugh at people on their own.
