Friday Night


About a week ago on Friday night, I went to a basketball game by myself. 

My team, the Orlando Magic, were in town and I didn't want to miss them, so I bought a cheap ticket and sat in the nosebleeds and watched them absolutely dominate the Wizards.

I'm not new to doing things by myself. I love to go to the theatre alone, or the movies. I'll even take myself out to dinner. But something about going to a game alone felt much more daunting. I was embarrassingly nervous as I drove to the arena.

And then, it was all misplaced anxiety. 

I absolutely loved it.

I sat back and watched the game with basically no distraction, other than eavesdropping on the Georgetown boys near me who clearly don't watch basketball. I read my book during halftime and left immediately as the game ended to beat traffic. 

It was a perfect evening.

And I would gladly do it again.
