I do both of those alone. If I want to see a film and nobody wants to go with me, am I supposed to just not see it? Fuck that, I go see it. At least nobody is talking to me during it.

I probably wouldn't eat out in a high-end restaurant, but if there's a cafe or a place to grab a quick lunch, I'll happily sit at a table and eat my meal. I'm not going to eat inferior food just because nobody happens to be with me.
