Cozy? Strangely, no.

So the movies. A great way to pass the time. One might say, a favorite way of mine.

Okay, I would say that. Seeing a movie in the theater is something that I try to do frequently with or without a partner. I go often, I'll go alone, and I see things simply because my interest is peaked. I find it a testament to my love for movie going that I keep doing it even though my body seems to protest the act.

What do I mean? I'll tell you eager reader. When I go to the movies, inevitably I end up freezing. Even when, after doing an assessment I find that it isn't really all that cold. I always start off fine. Just chilling in the theater, eating too much popcorn. Then suddenly it's like someone turned down the thermostat. I can't explain it. I'm just really cold. Sometimes I can genuinely blame it on the temperature in the theater. Tonight was not one of those times.

I can't ever notice if there is a gradual change in my body's sense of the temperature. Tonight was like that. As I watch the movie I go from sitting with my hands tucked away to teeth chattering, full-body shivers. Even as my stomach convulses I'm telling myself that it isn't cold enough to feel this way. All the time this happens. I cannot remember the last time I went to a movie and didn't end up with my body acting as if I decided to detour to the local freezer.

I've tried different things to beat the phantom cold. You could, at one time, find me in a theater wearing fuzzy sock in my fuzzier house shoes all tucked under my Carebear cozy. This only barely warding off the shivers, as my jaw still gets quite the work out with the teeth chattering. If that wasn't ridiculous enough take in the fact that I'm in jeans and a jacket under all of that. Even in the summer, nay especially in the summer I make it a rule to never go to a theater workout pants, socks and shoes, and an overcoat. Nothing helps. I genuinely don't know why I'm so strange.

Not that any of this matters because as the pattern has revealed, I still continue to go to tbe movies without hesitation.
