Girlie friend no. 1 had been very useful on that day at work when it was absolutely desperate to run between the two offices and not by anyone but by someone trusted and experienced in the field. She went out of way to make the trips for me. Very helpful despite her annoying quality at times of opening her mouth and getting the annoying words out of it.

As a thank you I said I will treat her to the pictures. It wasn’t necessary because that is what friends do, help each other, look out for each other but as she was to go on a holiday I thought it will give us a chance to spend some time together. The second motive was that I wanted to go to the pictures. Isn’t it frustrating that you can’t find anyone to do anything with? Well I can’t! Not even pictures. I have such a diverse interest and inquisitive nature that I want to do almost everything once every now and then. While most people have strong likes and dislikes, I don't. At times I think I will have to join some activity groups to get company to do things. Then again I never have time to do anything any way.

May be it is also unfair to say that I can’t find anyone to do things with because I want others to fit in with me and that is why it is difficult. I am surrounded by odd people though. How can anyone not like to go to the pictures? Someone didn’t want to go because there was not a single film that they would like to watch, someone thought it was waste of time and rather go for a meal, someone wanted to get the DVD out and watch it at home, Girlie friend 2 gets the migraine in the pictures, the famous girlie friend no. 1 falls asleep in the movies!! Odd people !

Nevertheless, movies I wanted to go to and movies we will go to. To cure her falling asleep I decided to go to the IMAX as the films are usually very short. I think that everyone must experience IMAX once in their life. I just love it. I like to watch all of them. I must say though that when you come out it doesn’t feel like you have been to a movie. Off we went to the Film Works at Manchester. I convinced GF 1 that she didn’t look a “Right Wally” in the 3D glasses (she did!). We watched The Magnificent Desolation- walk on the moon. I have never in my life seen anyone getting scared of an astronaut. Boy or boy, silly GF 1 turned her face away every time the image of someone came closer. She jumped up every time a little bit of moon earth fell. It would have been a comedy entertainment to watch her watch the 3D film.

After all that though, she said she liked it and I was right in saying that everyone must experience it once in their life and she want to go again.
